[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8540302, member: 650438"] One change i'd make there is to BI amp the T2 components using all 4 channels to the front. have the rear on head unit power. Makes a huge difference in Sound quality if you do so. Any power towards the rear is damaging to the sound stage and imaging. Let me explain to you how the install goes AGAIN. 17 feet from front battery to rear battery 3 feet from rear battery to ground 3(x2) feet from rear battery to amp positive 3(x2) feet from rear battery to amp negative You dont need two 17 foot runs which is usually how long 0 gauge kits are. They are MILKING you and shoving it up your @ss without any lube with the two 0 gauge kits. NOT EVEN A REACH AROUND! What I recommended is 2/0 or 3/0 which is 00 and 000 aka triple zero gauge which is much thicker whatever 0 gauge kit they offer for much cheaper and better quality. I have no qualms on how they will handle the box build and the rattle treatment as long as they get rid of every rattle. Toyotas are rattle traps. Head unit should be fine since you have t2 components. Too bad its missing time alignment but it will do for now. [/QUOTE]
