[QUOTE="CyCloneTSi, post: 8388387, member: 665968"] ok update, i have done 2 of the 3 power wire upgrades simply because i have ran out lol. I replaced the cap with a good size battery and also fond out that my alternator was weak so replaced that too. luckily it was under warranty. I have my amp wired to .5 ohm now as well but the most important thing i found was on the amp wiring kit i bought had stupid gold plated tin eyelit on the battery end and it was so small and thin, so i cut that off and put a real big battery lug on it. My system now runs much more efficiently with very little power drain (lights dimming). I need to find an oscillator and also measure voltage from the amp as well. With all settings on my head unit at 0 and amp gains about 10% its way better than it was in all aspects. I plan on going back to a ported box as well. Thank everyone for their input. I have a friend that has an SPL mic and he is waiting for me to get my gains set properly. with my volume about 2/3 my rear view wont stay put lol. i cant wait to get it tuned. ill let all ya know how it goes.
