lol. i dont know how big the speaker wire is. but i get what your sayin......
and i just like the look of the terminal thing, it looks cleaner (yeah its in the trunk....) but i havent seen any for 1/0 wire...

the 1/0 is your pwr wire. lol not your speaker wire, if you don't have that then by some 12 gauge from knu web stie as well by the foot.

well u dont know anything about what wiring u need. which means you have no idea how to even run the wires to ur h/u and amp. or wire a sub in parallel. or how to tune the box
but i think u are going sealed.

also u didnt know that power handling increases in a sealed box

exactly. lol.

im hoping to get someone i know to install the wiring and shit.

parallel on single 15? yeah i have no idea how to wire it.

but, i am making vented box, tuned at 34hz. (so i think.....) skadude016 gave me a program to find how to tune it, but im not sure if i did the right stuff. either way, ive already cut the wood. the port is 2"x8"

AHHHH!!!! lol im so clueless... power wire is for the amp?

so ill guess. powerwire goes to the battery and h/u from the amp, and speaker wire goes to the subs? unless im totally wrong again...

gimme ur box dimensions im skeptical

and make sure to round all edges of ur port along w/ a 45 degree corner in the back wall corner of the port

power wire- from battery to amp.

ground- from amp to a ground spot.

RCA- from your HU to amp.

remote= from HU to amp.

spekaer wire- from subs to amp.

ok exterior diminsions are 9.5 x 38x 25.5 sub is going on top, kinda funky but my trunk is not good for a tall box... and i just took off 3/4" for all diminsions to find the interior volume... (think i did that right... for 4.05 cuft

so, router the port hole... (what does that do?)

and what do you mean by the 45º in the corner?

power wire- from battery to amp.ground- from amp to a ground spot.

RCA- from your HU to amp.

remote= from HU to amp.

spekaer wire- from subs to amp.

whew... ok thanks lol....

so, the knukonceptz amp kit is just power wire, and groud wire.

still need:

rca, a single cord. aka http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLA-5M

remote.... not sure what it is but its from the hu to amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I suggest you do a little reading here... http://www.bcae1.com

That way you understand each part of your system, how it works, and why its there.

Then, when you **** something up, or something breaks, you'll have a lot easier time troubleshooting.

If it hasn't been mentioned already you can find good quality speaker box terminals at partsexpress.com
