[QUOTE="geowick07, post: 2564567, member: 568423"] Ground wires should be under 3 FT. long, not 1 Ft. (Keep them as short as possible, and try to avoid having them longer than 3 ft.) As for the map mounted on the box, I have mine that way now, and have had it that way for quite a while. No ill effects just yet. You will hear different theories on mounting the amp to the box. Some say go ahead. Some say don't do it. Some say do what works best for your install. My install didn't allow me much choice in the matter. But, if you have options, and space and materials, build yourself an amp rack and mount the amp separate from the enclosure. Good luck with the install! [/QUOTE]
