rockFord_Expedition Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Your wiring is ummm bad. All that copper exposed eeeeek A suggestion if I may OP. Not knocking you, just trying to be of some help..... I am sure you see N8's comment and say you cant help it because of the angle on the inputs of the amp. He makes a good point, he isn't being a dick. What I would do to fix it without making any drastic changes would be to drill holes in your amp rack so you can bring the wires to the amp inputs at a more straight in angle. That would accomplish a few things... Exposed copper is a safety issue. Big time. Plus it opens the door for corrosion. Potentially increase surface area of contact between amp and wire = better performance and a cooler running amp It just looks better with less wire showing Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, easier said than done. But then again, most things are. At the end of the day its your ride and your situation which has no bearing on me, just trying to help however I can. My suggestions would involve some work on your end, no doubt; but isn't that part of the fun of our hobby? In the pics it looks like there is already some space between the MDF piece that the amps are mounted to and the sub box, but sometimes pics can be deceiving. If there is already some space there, it wouldn't be that much more work to increase the spacing.
