[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8297001, member: 614752"] Again, I think you underestimate what 5 cube in a really solid box with a big arse port will displace, and to repeat, you will want plenty of wiggle room on all sides to move it around a little to find the sweet spot. Figure on 8 cube gross to get 5 cube net box. "Burp" is 3 second tone. A 200A fuse is not going to protect that amp whatsoever, and I'm not sure what the rules allow, but more smaller fuses will be better for competing... for example, at auto-parts stores they sell a small fuse holder with a wire coming out of each side (for the fuses that go up under the dash of most cars... that style fuse). Get 10 of those and bundle all the wires together with solder, attatch one end to your power wire to the battery and the other end goes right into the amp, put a 5A fuse in each and bump up to 7.5A or 10A if you blow fuses often. There's no ******* way you'll need 200A fusing on that amp with what you're doing and that will do absolutely nothing to protect the amp. If you blow a fuse while playing you have no power to make your 3 second burp so you will have little or no score. Sub up and port to the side is generally good in an SUV. If you plan the box build properly you can make things temporary enough to test different port and sub placements before you make things permanent. [/QUOTE]
