Those kits dont always provide enough 1/0:fyi:

yesterday i had to go buy more wire for an install in a 94 crown vic- ****ers reached right to the back seat and that was it

well I can always add more 0\1 guage with the in line fuse holder. If its short, I'll put it at the end of the wire, and then the new stuff on the other side, and get it to the trunk. I have some gift cards I gotta use up so I can use it for that. I just gotta figure out how to connect the 0 guage to the amp, the connectors and wire are too big for the opening //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

oh, and the subs goin in are W10GTi MKII, think that box'll be ok?

Sounds like a nice setup! Let us know how it sounds.

it'll be alright for now, Its gonna be run off a line output converter. I dont have the money to get the HU, wiring harnesses and such I want right now, so thats gonna be my next upgrade. I'm expecting the bass to be much better once I get the new headunit, but we'll see how it is when I get the subs in...

This is goin in a 2003 monte carlo SS.

any audio shop ( i think even CC carry's them) should have some 1/0 to 4ga reducers.. look into that..

 

[sickofsoyo 10+ year member]

Ok sounds good, I was gonna try radio shack, but if CC has em, that'd be easier.

If i remember correctly, they should. I think they were like 11 bucks for two of em.

 

[sickofsoyo 10+ year member]

ok, I have a gift card, for them I think. So its all good. There really arent any car audio places where I live, so CC is my best shot.

ugh, I cant wait to put this in.... It would have been done already, as I paid for 2-day shipping on the subs, but they decided to ship them ground, so they wont get here till thurseday... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

nice!! i like the look of those GTI's

 

[sickofsoyo 10+ year member]

mkay, so.... I the box for these prebuilt. The sub came with bolts to use for installation. There are SUPPOSED to be washers that go on the other side of the box, and they have small edges which dig into the wood and lock it, now my only problem, how the hell do I get these in without taking the box apart? I dont know of any way to put those **** assemblies on without taking it apart. Maybe taking out the terminal will give me enough room to get in there and work? The box is divided into 2 cubes with terminals on each side.
