You could have bought all of that from bag-boy for $70 or less depending on how much they'll combine on shipping. My brother has bought a ton of Stinger stuff from them. They're a great seller. Probably why they have 100% feedback.

I forgot 1/0 ring terminals for $5.65 a pair or combine shipping and get 3 pair for like $10.

The 0 gauge has been run, and plenty is left over for the big 3. Pics maybe later tonight or tommorrow. But tommorrow I'm going to moroso motorsports park, big races, fun jettys, good stuff!

Ok, so 3/4 amps are in. the other one I'm having a problem with. If you look at the back of my car (below), the amps need to be as low as possible on the seats in order to allow the box to properly fit(since they are on a slant). The left one is installed on the back of the left seat and is absolutely a perfect fit. My problem is in order to get the second amp in there, I would have to put it between the two seats, thus, connecting them. Should I do this, or maybe install the amp(s) on the back of the box instead. And, if I connect the seats, how should I do so? A sheet of metal?

bumpity...can someone check out that last reply?^^^^

[dmanson]

i'd use a piece of wood before i mounted an amp or amps to a sheet of metal that would be holding both seat together. you could always mount them to the box right next to the seat, just double up on the wood for vibration.

make an amp board (1/2" mdf) and cover it in the same color carpet as the seat backs then you can attatch it to the seat backs to go over both. Now you will have unlock both seat back b4 lowering it but it will look better and save you from ruining and amp from lowering one side and not the other.
