Still dont think your electrical is up to par.....Wiring as long as a football field, more fuses than a house an some beefy batts to back it. Id say you need double that.

J/P man. Hell of an electrical setup. That soundstreamm will love it. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

suprised the SS 10k don't have dual 1/0g inputs or does it?

God I remember the ride to Chipotle I was just about to ***** out in the **** front seat I had a hard time taking a breath lol but I loved it makes me want to go louder. Oh and the glassing looked good from what I saw of it idk if you've done much on that since I stopped by for a visit but im sure it will look top notch just like everything else you do.

Thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Hopefully it'll be plenty louder though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Mr. Pioneer, I love your build. My experience with the SS amps is that at 12 volt they are o.k., but they really come alive at 16+ volts.They are very power hungry.

I had 4 6500s on 20 8 volt batteries which equals 10 16 volt batteries and that wasn't enough. I could have used 20 more 8 volts. Also, I used 4/0 welding cable for power wire out of the amps with no problem.

Anyhow, best of luck with your build.

Thanks mayn, and yea...the SS XXX's are very power-hungry indeed. I just hope the SoundStream likes the upgrade, or it may beat me up again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

It's that real ish //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif...no, just single inputs that can handle 4/0 gauge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Alright, here's a bit more..
Here's some of the speaker wire im using (yes, that is 4-gauge power wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif)

Fits, no sweat..

And the 1/0 kolossus fits in the power and ground terminals with the insulation on it and still has plenty of wiggle room //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Fitting up the amp on the back of the enclosure..

Mounting plate for it

Not much, but meh..

Dont the BTL's only accept 8 ga?

Outside of the enclosure it'll be 4-gauge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif once inside it'll be 8-gauge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Should have put that in there somewhere //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

J/w. what is the point of using 4ga then?

Exactly that...using 4-gauge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

yeah but its only going to receive the current of the equivalent to 8ga correct.... so ur actually just wasting money.

Nope, im not using that 4-gauge for much else and already have it...plus it's only around 8 inches maybe of each color to the terminals //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif...almost no money used and it'll look better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yeah it will look nice. i'm all for overkill.

an 8 inch run would probably be fine with 14 ga
