[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 16976, member: 541383"] just make sure you are protected under the hood within 12-18 inches and within 24 inches of your amps (if they dont already have fuses on them)..run the right size power wire (and if you use a 200 amp breaker you better be using at least 0 guage wire under the hood (prefferably 00 guage if your power wire is more than 8 ft which i am sure it is). lable your wires and make a diagram of your system layout. if you could or did take pictures during your install make a little book about it........as far as venting your box...port that puppy but make a port plug for when you are not wanting to hump to rap music.also if you can locate an iasca disc or a "my cd" cd do it and run the drum tracks and the phase tracks to make sure everything is set tight and right....and go to your local shop and get metered both rta and spl. if they have the rta meter they (the shop) should know how to use it and set your system appropriately. all this would fit well under 350 and should help you gain points in spl and get your "brownie" points with the judges. and if you want to give a speech about your system let me know i have alot of experience with this stuff...not that i was/am that good just had alot of great well known teachers. my installer was kirk perry, he is good friends with many a big wig that seen me as under his wing so i got all the help i needed. its sorta awesome when you are a newbie and fishman comes up to you asking you "what's up" and eric stevens (owner of image dynamics) tunes your car and is concered with how you do because he knows you are capable of winning.
