  1. your running a 5500? what size wire was that from the battery? good job on the install i aint trying to be a dick just kinda nosey lol. I had some mofos bout 3 years ago my first system and they wammed in my bmw. Then i bought my 87 caprice and dropped them in there for a little bit and they were mean. But with that much trunk space any sub coulda wammed. I swear i coulda put about 5 bodies in there with my subs lol

    It's a "5500" more like 2100-2200 if i'm lucky still slams tho and the power and ground are 4awg (good stuff tho so the wire portion is thicker than most 4 gauge wire)

  2. wiring subs into box:

    crammin the "recommended" 8awg wire into one of the subs

    the ultimate way to mark the neg speaker wire

    one sub in and wired

    both subs wired up in parallel down to 1 ohm... speaker wire run out of box and siliconed up

    finishing putting subs in the box:

    screwing them in...

    spray painted the back of the box just so no wood shows when i put the amp on and make a face plate

    Made a cut in the trunk carpet so i can fold it up and still access the batt and spare with the box in

    Time for some sound dampenning mat:

    And finally...

    I'll post a vid at some point (if anybody wants to see a specific song just leave it in the comments) and i'll post more pics after i make face pannels etc.

  3. Finally adding some more pics. Got the subs in and playing and they slam pretty hard:). Just have some asthetic stuff left to do and then my bass will be done!

    Finishing off the box:

  4. Finally started my build!!!

    I am starting out by putting two Power Acoustik Mofo 154X subs in my charger. I'll Be hooking them up to a BAMF 5500.1D amp. I'll tryto post pics as i go but i don't have many yet. (btw i know that power acoustik is crap but i'm 17 and a little limited on $$)

    got my power and ground done

    it's to easy to run wires in my trunk...

    didn't take any pics while i was building my box... here's a quick test fit before i put on the outer baffle which will also serve as a foot/stand and hold it parrallel

    boxnoouterbaffle.jpg

    attaching the outer baffle

    puttingonouterbaffle.jpg

    didn't have the money for the integration kit and a new headunit so I decided to go with an LOC... got a good one from my boss for pretty cheap. here it is along with my amp turn on wire and switch

    locturnonandswitch.jpg

    just another pic of the switch

    switch.jpg

    I'll try to get more pics as i continue my build and update as i get them.

  5. I want to put a dual 15 system in my new charger and 1. i was wonderring if anybody knows if the stock 4.3 in touchscreen headunit has RCA outs so i don't have to take apart the dash to find out and 2. the headunit has important functions (part of climate control, steering wheel controls, hands free bluetooth calling, and some other stuff) and i was wanderring if anybody knows a way I could keep these feature with a new headunit
