[QUOTE="KTMrida4life, post: 7583105, member: 637865"] Got it hooked up tonight about an hour ago. Its kinda rigged. It works, but the main thing Im worried about is there is no fuse on the power wire, so its kinda sketchy. I unplugged the power wire (left the ground hooked up) and wrapped electrical tape around it for the night as I dont want to find out my car is on fire during new years. It is LOUD. I havent even really tuned it yet, I tried to set my gains with a DMM but Im not sure I have them set correctly, Ill check tomorrow. I cant believe how much **** is still rattling after sound deadener. Im either hearing something rattle inside my box (maybe port noise?) or the plywood in my trunk is vibrating... or the ground wire is vibrating. Whats the best way to stop the big 0 gauge wire from rattling on metal? Also.. about the voltage drop. I have NOT done the big 3 upgrade yet. 150A amp (stock is 90) and duralast gold battery.. I can only go to about 35 before I start seeing massive voltage drop. If I go to 40, it may dip below 12V just a hair and I can see my interior lights dim a bit when it hits. I dont even have the gains on the amp all the way up yet. Guess I need to do more electrical upgrades. You were right mast240. So what now? Add an AGM battery to my current acid battery or what?
