Guest Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 i actually have a question for you. my buddy has the same exact car and we tried to find a place to run power wire/rcas etc from the front to the back and we couldnt find ANYWHERE. where in the hell did you run them? underneath the running boards along the sides of the car dont have any room to fit wire and he doesnt want to run the wire underneath the car.

lzim1372 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 hey bro sorry i am late responding, i ran my 0 guage wires from the battery down the center counsel, under the carpet in the back of the counsel and through the back seat, it is clean and easy to do, the rca's i ran under the door sills and if his is a 4 door the pillar moulding between the front and back door snaps off to run just under it, let me know if you need any other info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fecupe2001 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 That´s not a bad score at all, have you measured the impedance rise?? i mean, if you wire that amp lower you should raise that score A LOT!! That´s what i would do before any new box or anything... I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

That´s what i would do before any new box or anything... I have not measure the impedance rise, I am using a fosgate t1500 amp and as i understand you get the same power at 1 ohm as you do 2 ohms, anyway i am ditching my system and upgrading to dc audio level 5's still not sure if i want to go with 12's or 15's, the monteros really dont offer much room in the back with the big wheel wells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC level 4's or up is a good way to start. What kind of box are you looking to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im having dave the box guy design and build me one, dont know if you have heard of him but makes loud boxes, i have seen clamshell enclosures in monteros if i ever secide to go big i would want to do something like that, i am guessing just a 5 cuft box with the port in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
