Yeah, it's funny though... People are always giving me crap about having subs with the type of music I listen to. One minute inside the passenger seat with some Heaven Shall Burn at high volume is more than enough to shut them up, lol. Main reason I have them is to FEEL the double-bass, since...

No E-thugishness here. I'm a metalhead, not so much into the rap/hip-hop stuff. I go for "brutal" not "str8 up bumpin' dawg". I ain't here to cap no mutha fukkas fo talkin' that sheez, just here for some pro advice from people that aren't trying to rip me off and sell me crap. lol Thanks...

lol, I know you don't have to fuse the ground wires, but it will be good for others that may be reading. What is the rating for 2 or 0 gauge wire? 1200 Watts Max. I really do appreciate everybody's help. I'm not a complete n00b to car audio, but when it comes to power and protection (ha ha)...

How many amps am I looking for fuse-wise?

Lol, yes they did. And my friends telling me they were necessary didn't help much either. The fact that they stopped the dimming was another reason I thought I was safe because I couldn't see any potential damage that may have been done.

No chance of fraying as they are tucked safe under the carpet away from any moving parts and feet. I plan on getting a glass fuse holder, but not sure what size fuse to get. Any recommendations?

I probably should have been more specific on my previous setup then... The 800 watt kicker was only at about 5/8 gain and was only run to a pair of roadmaster subs 350 watts a piece max, so it wasn't nearly as high as my new setup. It did stress the car until I got the 1 farad Rockford Fosgate...

Looks like I will be running a new ground then, thanks! Couple questions though: 1. Would I connect the newly run neg from the batt directly to the ground on the amp? 2. Is it okay to use 8 gauge power wire (since it's already there) to my amp or should I swap it for a 4 or 2? 3. Are the...

The only local car audio shop I know of that hasn't gone under gouges the hell out of prices. I can find 2 or 4 gauge wire though... I just wasn't sure that would cut it. Thanks a bunch. Will attempt the big 3 and post my results afterwards.

I'd like to do the wire upgrade, but I still don't know where to get the wire. I'd like to buy somewhere locally, because I can't afford to wait for an online order with my system killing my car the way it is. I can't even run it half the normal volume, lol. Where would I be able to find the...

Thanks for the info... Where can I go locally for 1/0 wire and possibly fuse holders? (Radioshack/Kragen/etc.) I don't believe I've ever seen such large wire sold anywhere. One more thing, I sanded the hell out of the chassis where the right rear seatbelt bolts down and I'm currently using...

Thanks for your guys' input. I've thought about getting the HC1400, as it is the same sized power cell as my current battery. Hopefully after 1-4 I won't need to upgrade the alt. If I do need to get a second battery for the rear, I'm SOL unless I can fit it behind the subs next to the amp...

I figured I'd be ditching the cap, which is okay with me. Like I said, I may be planning on upgrading the amp soon, since my subs can handle it. My system isn't too demanding now, but it may require more juice later down the road. With that being said, would the recommendations you've already...
