I'm thinking of getting rid of my capacitor after rewiring my amplifiers battery cable to 1/0 gauge so I'll need a power distribution block. I see that some have 2 1/0 gauge inputs. Why is this?

Well that's what I've been wondering. My front speakers are Hertz HSK-165XL 6.5 and and they are very efficient. I have to back off of them with the fader control in my HU to send more volume to the subs to get impact. I'm just curious I guess but I really would like to hear these things in a...

Just got it recently, Installed the JL Audio 10W6v3-D4 subs and they sound fantastic. His work and attention to detail is outstanding. As you see it's not your average prefabricated sub box and that's why I decided to go this route, wanted something different this time. not just another grey...

As I said in my first post, I'm using a Optima Yellowtop AGM battery under the hood. Will that do?

The service dept at the local Toyota dealership said the increased current might damage the vehicle electronics. I confess that I,m not a mechanic so I'm just going on what they told me. What's your opinion? Would it be safe to do a big 3 upgrade on a 2010 Toyota RAV4 V6 Sport and not do any...

Decided to get a sealed box made by Cherry Customs.

I have a Alpine PDX F9 4ch amp. 600watts rms running 2 Hertz HSK 165XL and 2 HCX 165 6.5 Speakers and a PDX M6 mono amp, 600watts rms powering 2 JL Audio 10W6v3-D4 subwoofers for a total of 1200 watts rms. I want to upgrade my mono amp to a JL Audio HD1200/1 mono amp which is 1200 watts rms...

I,m getting ready to mount 2 JL Audio 10W6v3-d4 subs into a sealed box made for me by CherryCustoms. The box is 3/4 inch MDF but I'm not sure exactly what type and length mounting screws I need for the 10 holes. Can anybody out give me the best choice for mounting hardware for these subs Thanks

Hello, I have a Alpine PDX-F9 4ch amp and a PDX-M6 Mono amp installed in my car. I'm using 17ft of Stinger 4AWG OFC power cable to connect to both amps via a 1.5 farad capacitor. I was thinking of doing a Big 3 wire upgrade and replacing the 4AWG with 1/0AWG OFC power cable however I'm also...

Has anybody ever done a Big 3 on the alt/battery of a 06/12 Toyota RAV4. I'm going to swap the 4AWG battery cable in my 2010 RAV4 and install 1/0AWG OFC and I want to do a Big 3 but I'm not sure how to do it on this vehicle. I can't see the alternator, it's on the lower left/hand side of the...

Hello all. I currently have 2 Apine PDX amps installed into my 2010 Toyota RAV4. One F6 4 ch and a M6 mono amp. I used a Stinger 4000 4 gauge OFC amp kit for the install from the Optima yellow top battery to a 1.5 farad capacitor, the 2 amps are connected to the capacitor. I was thinking of...

My RAV4 has the tow prep package that includes a upgraded alternator and I have a 1 pico-farad capacitor installed, hopefully that will be enough for a 1200 watt mono amp, I'm told that the JL 1200/1 doesn't draw that much current though I might be wrong. Any thoughts?

I got the subs for $280 each and yes I'm going with a custom sealed enclosure. The subs are rated for amps between 200 to 600 watts each and my current amp does 600 watts into 4 ohms which would be 300 watts per sub. I guess that's not optimum but it,s a start, the I'll have to work on getting a...

Hello all. I've just picked up my 2nd JL 10w6v3 subwoofer. I'm more into tight accurate bass, I'm looking at a custom sub box right now for these subs. I don't want to go with a prefab box since these subs are rated pretty high and I want to get the most out of them in my vehicle with is a 2010...
