Just a few updates

My Singer alternator is shipped and on it's way here. Mike read 220+ amps hot, which is impressive considering the stock case is small, Mike has been good to me, always responded back, I won't deal with another alt company, he's now my go to guy for alts.

I also decided to uninstall everything to redo a few things, like paint the amp rack, replace the 16 awg speaker wire with 12 awg, install my relay, new rcas, and 360.2

Also decided to see if I could make the compartment work for the frontstage amps, and it's gonna work, just need to make an mdf piece and deaden there

I was also very happy my car has factory grommets, so instead of doing negative runs, gonna just use those grommets for the grounds, and bolt them to the frame

Also gonna redo the big 3 with some sky high wire 1/0 ofc, have 20ft of it

But as of now, I won't have bass for the week, which is fine honestly, I was getting tired of just 1 1500 because I kept thinking to myself "Man, I want 3k already, my speakers are taunting me"

All is left to do is install the rcas, new speaker wire, and the 360.2 and re-dd1 the amp due to new voltage input
