Nice wire!! Im going to pick up some Knu 1/0 and a fuse block first of next week. Knu is local to m eso no shipping. Did you order a 1/0 kit, or just piece it together yourself?

That is a 4awg fleks kit + 12ft of 8awg, 2 distros and 40ft of speaker wire.

Thanks again for the amps man. If any of the other readers didn't see the feedback thread, cmobley is a great seller.

*Hand smacks forehead* Yeah I know but I was so back and forth about my amp set up at the time (didnt think I could get a total AQ setup for amps, and was going to get another 750.1 and run both to the sub). So I also didnt think I would need an aluminum coil, because I wouldnt have enough power (which I do now). Oh well live and learn. I hope your build comes out great and watch shortly for mine!!

Can't wait to see it. Had I gotten a hatch, I woulda gone for an all AQ setup. Trying to get a sedan loud is a quagmire.

Well you are used to your caravan, which get loud fairly easy.

I have had luck with mine being loud...............enough.

I am telling you, the acoustics in these cars ****!

nice so far.

how do you like those pbx's? I use to have a pair of the xs12's in my car and loved them. I didnt feed them enough power though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I hooked em up in my friend's civic on his ZX1500.1 and they will get decently loud. Not the best sounding sub I've ever heard, but it's doable. Not bad for the $$

Looking good so far.

Oh, and to run the power wire, I just drilled through the plastic where the clutch should be.

I'll seal it up with some putty here soon to prevent leakage

I'm generally gonna clean it up here soon. I literally finished putting it together by cell phone light. Thats why the amps look a little crooked too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
