sky high 4 guage, zero gauge will not fit. shca wire is larger than most. 100 amp fuses are whats reccomended. you'll be fine with the 4 gauge and 100 amp fuse. do your big 3 in zero gauge. 4 gauge will work, but if you knock it out in zero gauge, when u want to upgrade later... which i guarantee you will lol. you wont have to re do it. but i know ur on a budget so big 3 in 4 gauge will work if its cheaper for you. get shca copper lugs for 4 gauge.

You can always put your amp on the box

Please go back and re-read all of the previous posts. Thanks!

I did

You have a box for subs

You can put it their

Your not making any holes to your car

Just trying to give/think of some options

So you can probaly open to more possibilities on amps

Doesn't Crescendo make either a 1400 or 1500w amp that has a very small footprint? I can't remember the series, but I remember they were tiny and when tested put out hella power, like 1700w+. I would maybe look into one of those. I'm sure the price isn't too bad either. Another amp I remember seeing in the "for sale" section on here was a DC 1200w, that would be in your price range. He was also including some cable in the deal with it too. Do you know what amp alternator you have in your Jeep?

97 Buick LeSabre with stock 140 amp alternator

XS Power D3400 (under the hood) using pdb distro blocks

Big 3 done with 2/0 ga welding cable

Alpine CDE-HD149BT head unit

CT Sounds Meso 6.5" components

CT Sounds 60.4

CT Sounds 1400.1

Fi Q 12 D2 with cooling in 2.5 net tuned @32 hz (box built by Sound Mekanix Customs)

Bunch of Sky High 1/0 ga & 4 ga cable (plus fuse holders)

Connection BT2 & BT4 550 (Audison) RCA's

Bunch of Mojo Mat

The dc amp it's sold

And it's the s series

http://www.droppinhzcaraudio.com/crescendo-audio-s1500-1/

$300 shipped

But it's over $100 off his budget

And 5/8 bigger than what he wants

Also like everyone else had mentioned, I'd at least look into getting a box build to the specs of your subwoofers. Even if you can cut some corners on the price by getting it unfinished and either carpet or paint it yourself, it would be worth it. You might be able to find someone in your area that could give you a good deal on one or even find someone nice enough to help you construct your own. There's plenty of nice people on this forum that will help you design it and even give you the cut sheets for the wood.

Maybe construct a clean looking box that is carpeted in a color or material that matches your interior, too put the amp inside? Make a way it can be ventilated and you would be able to hide all the cable and wire connections inside. Maybe some sort of center console between your rear seats?

When you hit post if it doesn't go through refresh the damn page before you hit post again.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
