Haha yah I got for $140 so I'm not complaining, it works perfectly, I just have it powered on my mids, but I would like to see what one audioque sounds like being pushed by the amp, so I'll probably do some testing when I build my other box too.

Nice stuff, but got ****, is that Sundown amp been used and abused! Glad it still works though.

Yah and you should've seen how it was shipped.

Engine Bay's pretty dirty, I'm gonna have it cleaned pretty soon. but here's what it looked like before:

And here's the wiring in the back, I'm going to be changing the position of everything when I build my sub box, building an amp rack and such, but I though I'd clean up the temporary install first. Before:

After:

And then here's the engine bay afterward, I'm gonna clean it up(dirt) soon and get some smaller wire loom, I ordered too big of a size so I'm gonna get some smaller ones soon.

Get some techflex for hte wires... much much nicer than the loom. They have it at parts-express.com.

having that much copper sticking out of my distribution block would make me nervous.

Oh, I just looked, that's some nice stuff, I've seen it before but I forgot all about it, that would look really nice.

It wasn't going anywhere, but yah I didn't like it either, looked extremely tacky, still kinda does now but looks a little better

Thanks, yah I've already been reading up about it I'm gonna get a hot knife end to put on my soldering gun to cut it with and put some heat shrink on the end.

 

[connersdad19 10+ year member]
