My build about to get started!

Ive seen someone on here that fit a 2400 up front. It required minor cuttin of the battery rack but he made it fit. iirc i think it was skip01.

Just installed the amp and did a couple test tones only bass since I dont have my 4 channel and its LOUD!

Couple questions though. As I was wiring everything up I was not paying close enough attention and accidently put the ground wire into the 12v input on the amp and it made a huge spark and a little smoke came out. After that the amp still worked fine though. But good that have cause any damage internally? Like at all? What could it have done.

Also do I need to fuse the positive wire coming off the battery into the amp. I was pretty sure I didnt have to since its only like a 1 foot distance. Anyways here the pics

Very nice clean install. Im really looking foward to the difference with the additional power to the Icons. The old setup was pretty loud, I can only imagine how it will be now, lol!!

do you think you should fuse the power wire?

Thats what i wanna figure out i heard if it was less then 18 inches you didnt have to fuse but i am trying to double check

 

[alibies 10+ year member]

say your amp was to fry and start to heat up ... would you still want the battery connected?

In reguards to you putting your ground into your 12v, you should be fine. I did that once as well, but mine blew the fuses, thank god, lol! Still worked like a charm.

Noobmistake, but been there done that.

Nice install so far.

hey what's the reason you went with a sub up port up box??

 

[mazzasec 5,000+ posts]

It wasnt originally like that it was sub back port back. But i have lots of stuff in my trunk and didnt want to ruin the subs. So since the subs are up i have no worries about stuff hitting them example skateboards andshit

Ok after running into a couple problems throughout the install I finally got everything up and running! It is LOUD! lol Being my first real audio setup I am very pleased with the products I have purchased. Just waiting on my PG RSD'S to come in install them and everything will just about be done! heres pics and a couple of videos.
