Okay, I hear no distortion at high volume and I know that I'm well within my amp's specs so I think I should be good. Thanks for the info.

That is what I did, I used my phone to generate the test tone. I have loudness and all eq off (except for right +1 and treble -1 because these are my preferred settings). Bass boost is also off. I'm kind of weary about cranking the sub volume all the way up (+15) because I'm not sure if this...

Hi, I decided to re-tune my system today because I am going on a long (4 hrs each way) trip soon and I know I can get more volume out of my sub. The components that matter are the following: Infinity Kappa 120.9w 12" sub (350wrms, on 2Ohm setting, is 2.2Ohm actual) Sealed 1cuft box Pioneer...

OK, I removed my spare and took some measurements of my trunk... So after a bit of research I have concluded the best way to get nice sound from a sub is to have it facing the rear of the car, in the rear of the trunk. Without my spare and the fake floor, I have a little over 13" of space at...

No, Mitsubishi. The recommended sealed box size for the RF P3D212 is 14"x18"x10". I would lay the box down so the shortest side is facing up. This would result in the sub firing upwards.

My car is a '94 SL 5spd. It does not have the factory Infinity radio, and has a single, double-DIN sized head unit. I was actually looking at the Type-R's a while ago, I have also heard good things about them. That's a really nice ported box but there's no way I can fit anything like that in...

I plan on installing everything myself. I have tools I can borrow from somebody, and I plan on making a custom box out of 3/4" MDF and carpeting it to match my interior. I was originally going to go ported, but I don't think I'm going to have room for that in my trunk so I'm gonna go sealed, and...

3kGT's OEM alt is 110A, I believe. If I decide not to get rears, what front components would you suggest for around $200? I am open to this idea, and I want to see what all of my options are. I took a quick look at the 1200watt amp you suggested, it looks nice but I don't think I can afford...

Hm, you bring up a good point that never crossed my mind. Not sure if you're familiar with the interior of a 3000GT, but it's relatively small (two door hatchback with rear sits big enough for only a child or two) and the rear speakers are mounted to the sides of the rear seats. They are just...

Hi again, I thought I posted my preferences but that must have been on a different forum/thread. Anyway, I am a sound quality kind of guy. Now with a setup like this I still want to be able to turn up my music pretty loud, but again I value sound quality over volume. I listen to a wide variety...

OK, I think I have my final list of parts. Along with the previous listed parts, I picked out these. All of these parts are from knukoncepts, except for the last two. Positive and negative battery terminals $20 2 way distribution block with two 100A fuses (Are the fuses right? Or should I get...

Ok thanks, but say I have 8 ga power wire and 8 ga speaker wire, are they the same? I've done a bit of googling and half the people say they are the same, but the other half say they're different.

Just took a quick look at both links, definitely some useful info there. I will go more indepth later. That's what I wasn't quite understanding, I thought the fuse near the battery was for the equipment, not for the wire itself. I'll take a look at Kolossus. Just looked, their wire looks...

Wow thanks for all the info guys. A little more research showed that the 3000GT's stock alt is rated for 110A, if my source is correct. I'll probably use the stock alt for now and do the big 3 and see where that puts me. I would really prefer not to get a HO alt, they are rare for my car and are...

Cool thanks. Hopefully somebody can chime in about the alt, I really don't want to have to install a new one.
