Oh... Hope I make the cut.. Is that 18" super strict?

I remember seeing a guide for what gauge wire you need somewhere... Anyone know of it? I just don't have a ton of 4g cable left, and I'm think that it might be fine to run 8g? I mean everything is within a 3x2' area... So hardly any distance.. Just high current.

As far as i know the 18" is the most it should be, the closer the better. If its only like 10 inches and shorter you should be fine with 8g for temporary.

I'm for sure running 4g from, bat. to fuse, fuse to distro block, 8g from distro 2 amps.

I may have enough 4g... I am not sure though.. If worst comes to worst, I'll run 8g to the lower power amp..

The whole box is caulked and together... I'm getting some paint for it today or tomorrow..

What color? I wanted to do a really glossy black, but there are to many imperfections for that... So I'm going to do a textured color..

Would tan look good with charcoal/ black carpet?

Might be done by then.. Not sure.. Depends on how long it takes to get my amp back..

Millionbuy sent me an email asking how I would like to pay for return shipping (****ing gay right? 40$ dollars for shipping because they sent me a ****ed up amp. ****ing pisses the ****ing shit out of me.. Nothing I can do though) I told them I would like to use paypal, and asked how I should make the payment (who to address it to, subject etc..) right? Nothing back, and it has been 2 days.. So I'm not expecting anything anytime soon.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Distro block wouldn't fit... Had to drill out a space for it

The box

Well back from the dead. I'm really excited.. My subs just came in two minutes ago.. My amp should be here tomorrow or Friday.. Then I will get this stuff installed. The painting and stuff can wait... I just want to hear it.

No... lol. Seeing as I got my license after I quit my job... While I am paying off a TV.. I gave my self 200$ for subs, 200$ for an amp, and ~100$ for other crap... It was 25$, which really was a steal (Even if it is an old Sony).

Haven't really got a chance to do much until now... Got my carpet! My amp will be here tomorrow, and then hopefully my trunk area is all done!

(No I am not carpeting the box... The paint looks "decent" and it in the trunk, and only the front is showing... If it looks that "hideous" I'll carpet it...

 

[miker 5,000+ posts]

Yay! new pics! All the carpeting is done... Looks pretty decent I must say...

The top is glued down, and the back is stapled, it's much easier and faster than gluing... Anyways I just need to figure out the wiring, and I'm set... Hope my amp gets in tomorrow.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

F**K! Nothing is ****ing going right!................. The rear bolts on my seats have no ****ing clearance so it's impossible to stick a ratchet under there, and their is not enough room on either side of the bolt to use a wrench or channel locks.

Then My floor didn't ****ing fit.... Well actually it fit perfectly, but The back of it was touching the sub, and I though that no good could come of that... So I had to cut sections out.... God this is just getting shittier by the minute... Not it's ****ing 9:15, and I'm no where.... Wait no.. I have a box in the car, and grounds made!

I still need to run all my speaker wire, get replacment screws for my amp, and find some way to get the dumb ****ing seat out... arghhhhhhhh. I have been out there for 2 hours, and didn't get shit done...

Sorry for the vent... I just needed to say it... I know half the stuff is my fault, but it still makes me angry...
