Hello, I have some questions regarding my planned install that I’d appreciate any guidance/help/tips for. I will be setting up my electrical to feed 3 amps: Taramps Big Boss 8k, JL HD600, and AudioControl D-4.800. The subwoofers are a pair of Sundown 15in xv3s wired to 1 ohm. I currently have a Mechman 400 amp alt, an Odyssey AGM (under the hood), a Glowe LiFePo Series 2 battery in the back, and an Ioxus UltraCap next to the rear battery. Would a single run of 2/0 Sky High Oversized OFC wire be enough to connect the AGM to the Glowe Lithium? Or do I need 2 runs? Considering the 2/0 run would be about 20 feet (Tahoe), would 400 amp fuses be appropriate or too high? Plan to fuse under the hood and then again once the wire is in the cabin. I plan to use 1/0 KnuKonceptz Kolossus OFC to connect the Glowe Lithium to the Cap via a fuse block in between. Would dual 1/0 runs from the Glowe to the Cap be enough? Are 300 amp fuses ok for each wire about 2.5 feet on each side of the fuse? Lastly, I’ll have two 1/0 power and grounds (about 2 feet long each) from the Cap to the Big Boss. Is this good enough or should I add dual inputs? This is just for pleasure, not competing. But every few years I get the urge for something a little bit louder. Again, appreciate any advice! Longtime lurker. -

I am thinking about putting 1 12" Sundown ZV4 12" REV 2 in the trunk of my bmw 530i. Most likely going to face the box towards the seats since my seats fold all the way down. I will most likely get a 220 amp H/O alt from exsessive amperage, its about the biggest I could find from a notable company (singer, mechman, dc power, or anyone else that might be named has already been contacted and they wont make one for my car). I will probably have 2 extra batts (xs power d3100s probably) and a stock replacement, big 3 and a couple runs of 0 guage ran. My questions are, What size amp can I get away with here? I was hoping to go with a sundown SCV-3000d just to keep it in the sundown family. Would this be too much for a single ZV4 12? Reccomendations welcome... Would a straight back facing box or maybe a rear deck blowthrough get me better numbers? Would the elictrical I have be enough to keep this amp happy? Please help me out, all opinions are welcome. Any opinions on possible numbers? Any help is greatly appreciated. (No im not a "sundown fanboy" I actually just had a 15" FI BTL N2 on a BC3500d in my last vehicle, I just dont have the room for it in this one and wanted to try something new) -
I installed 2 rockford fosgate P3 2012 models on to a 500-1b mono block. after about an hour an a half of driving a night my radio started acting up. I would turn the volume and the radio would temporarily shut off. Would this imply that i need to upgrade my alternator or I could I just install a capacitor? As well I'm not sure what I wired my subs to. There 4 ohms with dual voice coils. One positive and negative to the other voice coil. Then to the box terminal to the amp. And same thing for the other. The two subs are not wired together. Im concered because i think that wiring to two 1-ohm sub loads, but Im not sure. If anyone could please explain it would be a big help.

Ok so yesterday my car went crazy on me, i turned it off, took the key out, and the car would still run, only until my toggle switch for my amplifier was turned to off. however when the car was on with the keys in it and i turned the switch off, the bass still remained. i got a new switch, that didnt work, unplugged everything from my amp and plugged it back in, everything went back to normal. now my problem is, without changing any setting on the amplifier, bass level ranges over time and clips at less then half according to the bass knob. before i had it so i could crank it up all the way and bass would remain constant and not clip. can someone help me in diagnosing this problem?????
