UPDATE: So I took my car to the guy and he was pretty nice about it all, I showed him the box and the burnt wires/fuse holder. He fixed the wires and put a much better fuse holder in. Looks alot bigger and more durable and better. I asked about getting 0 gauge wiring but he said that I really shouldn't need it for what I have right now. He said the reason the fuse holder melted was probably cause it was tucked in an area where it just got way too hot. He bolted the new fuse holder down in a different area then it had been tucked before. It was bolted down on the far right side area under my hood so it can breathe much better now. As for the box, I told him I wanted a custom box built which is like a day long process. So for now he tightened up my current box. And he said whenever I was ready I could get the custom box built and return the old box for the full price I paid and then pay the difference from whatever the new box costs. Everything else he fixed for free. I kind of expected I would have to pay the difference for the new custom box. I told him I didn't care how big the new box was, I don't mind if it covers all the floor space in the back of my Jeep.
I still plan to get a new Kinetik Battery in a week or two when I have the money, He looked at my current battery and said it was pretty decent. It is an Interstate battery, pretty good I think, and not too old, maybe a year or two.
Anyways, When I play the system now though it sounds amazing, so ridiculously loud haha. I love it. The wood rattling noise is pretty much completely gone, But I don't know how long that will last before the subs start to destroy the enclosure again. When I go to get the new battery installed I will also get the custom box put in. The subs still cut out but not nearly as much as before, it is kind of rare, and when I turn the music down a little bit they will instantly cut back on. I was wondering what Kinetik battery would do me good, They have so many different models with different wattages. The subs together are pushing 1200 watts rms, 2000 peak, I have stock speakers but a new cd player unit. And there has to be enough power to keep the car going well and to power all the little things like lights and whatever else is going. So I'm guessing maybe Kinetik's 2000 watt battery? Does that sound right?
