[QUOTE="pearlsjam79, post: 6676243, member: 617756"] So after a month, couple of glitches and a lot work and swearing...it's done. Had everything hooked up last weekend but was having an issue with my 4 channel going into protect mode. I went over every inch of wiring today and discovered a pos and neg speaker wire touching and a loose ground. Checked and rechecked all other connections and everything seems to be solid. It sounds fantastic. I have TONS of headroom. My 4 channel gain is not even a quarter of the way up and the subs are just a little over a quarter of the way up. Those ID 8's pound. Thought my truck was going to fall apart at one point. My wife said she could feel the house shake as well. The CXS comps are mind blowing. Extremely articulate and detailed and smoooooooth. Lots of midbass. Glad I put two layers of Edead 80 on the doors. In the end, I am glad I did it myself even though it was extremely frustrating and time consuming. I've got better gear and I learned a lot of tricks for next time... Im already thinking about what to upgrade to next. Thanks to all that answered my silly questions and helped this noob out. Cheers!!! [/QUOTE]
