Nice! Love it when goodies find their way home!

Hopefully my fuse and fuse holder arrives today, that's the only thing I need so far to get the 4 channel in and playing.

Also ordered some ofc 4 gauge from Audio-Technix to replace my old Cadence cca 4 gauge I got from an install kit a long while back, cause I read that a crappy power wire can cause voltage drops, which right now isn't as bad now due to upgrading my ground to leftover 0 gauge, and to the frame, but I still see high 11's. The electrical problems give me a headache sometimes, but getting better so far.

Also think it's the power wire now cause when I was testing a 0 db 54 hz(peak) tone, it drops to 11.5 then quickly climbs up to 12.1,no change in rpm(reving at 2k), which was weird, like some kind of current delay.

running wire was a pain

terminal broke off, made direct leads instead

this part pissed me off, I couldn't run the wire through cause it was a plug insert

So I drilled a hole, tape is temporary till I get proper sealant

So overall, I love the 4 channel, it sounds awesome :)

I have the tweeter and midbass tuned with the DD-1 0db track, may try -5db for the midbass

Only issue though is that the Stinger isn't behaving with the knu's, so I get noise issues sometimes, so I ordered some Dayton rca's, only $12 for 25ft, so I got 2 :)

Oh yeah, if you like my build, make sure to vote for me for the January system of the month 2013, I would love a pair of 15's :)

Even have a box design for them, 7 cubes, 10' sonotube tuned to 31hz, 11 per

Did you make sure that you ran them the right direction? Remember they're directional rcas. There's an arrow about every foot on the Rca's, and I believe the arrow goes away from the head unit. That's the way I had them set up anyway. Just a suggestion.

The rca's are fine themselves, it just won't connect well with the Knu Y splitters for some reason, it's weird. I'll try different Y-splitters as well.

Never knew about the directional thing as well

Though of course, thank you for the rca's
