and plus, buying a boombox it no fun!

I really like the speakers at all four corners of the ramp, and at 90 feet from end to end, it is hard to hear a boombox, but I am glad i went this way, i am carrying it around everywhere i go using it for a radio, I also put quick disconnects in it and in my truck so i can play it off my truck...

Surprisingly it is lasting about 4 hours on a charge, and the little charger in the ammo case doesn't do a bad job of charging the battery. Still need to add some switches, volt meter, and fuses, but it is essentially done. Any suggestions on what i could do to make it better?

yes i did mean parallel lol thanks

thanks for the fast response, i was just making sure i wasn't going to harm anything

I recently got two sets of kicker speakers to put around my ramp, (KB6000 Full Range | KICKER), my question is since they are 8 ohm speakers and i have a 4ohm rockford fosgate pbr300.4 already, if running them at 8 ohms is ok or if i could wire them in a series like a sub to reduce the ohm load?

I had this same thing happen to me, it was a faulty unit in my case, try hooking up your new one as a test, it will recognize it even if it is not activated

I ran that same amp with a 140 amp alt. and one yellow top and it dimmed like crazy. I added a second battery and it was stilling dimming, i ended up getting a new alt

I have never done it but i have seen people drill a bunch of little holes for the bondo to go into so it holds on better

got a little bit of work done with my electrical today, new battery, ran new power wires under the hood, also got my new speaker wire, it is 10 gauge (compared with 8 gauge and 12 gauge) hopefully i will get more done this weekend, it has been hard to find time as of late

Some new goodies, got my second amp and another alternator, just ordered a secondary battery, im to broke to get the other battery i also need

would it be a waste of time to add two smaller batteries closer to the amps?

I went ahead and ordered this kit: https://www.dcpowerinc.com/fit/2006~GMC~Sierra~5.3L-V8/gm-and-chevy-vortec-dual-alternator-kit-with-300-amp-spx-series-alternator.html Currently my box and subs are removed while i redesign the amp rack for 2 of the 2500.1 amps, and run another power wire, to...

Well, I went ahead and ordered a dc power engineering alternator. (GM and Chevy Vortec Dual Alternator Kit with 300 Amp SPX Series Alternator for 2006 GMC Sierra 5.3L V8) which will provide me with 345 amps at idle which should be plenty. But now my question remains about the batteries

Im am looking to power 5500 watts rms, I found a auxiliary battery tray for my truck for the engine compartment i will install. I would like to have to battery close to the amp but space is a very big issue for me. The only batteries i could possibly get in the back are the small 600 amp kinetik...
