[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8744321, member: 654802"] Nah, wisdom means knowing the difference between right and wrong and doing the right. Our past decisions are what molded us to the persons we are today, and now you can impart wisdom to your kids from a firsthand perspective. I've played hard too, so no judgement here. As for tweeter mounting location, I would mount them on the face. I assume you have an suv/van, and sub box will go in the back with the subs pointed back. If you mount tweeters on top, anyone sitting back there will get a direct earful of high frequency music. This is painful to most people and bullet tweeters get especially loud. As for sub/amp matching, you just add the RMS rating of both subs, and use an amp that falls withing that rating. Ignore Max power claims, those are useless. Also important is Ohms rating. If your subs are single 4 Ohms voice coil, you will look for an amp that can play at 2 Ohms. This is because you divide the 4 Ohms by 2 voice coils, which results in 2 Ohms. As for amp power wire, I would use 4 awg. Make sure it say 4 AWG and not 4 Gauge. 4 Gauge is International Standard which counts the sheilding as part of the measurement. Nice box BTW. Is that the manufacturer recomnended specs? [/QUOTE]
