[QUOTE="nismboy6986, post: 46328, member: 543960"] would 4gauge wiring from the battery to the distribution (well in my case cap 5) be thick enough to power a bd1000.1, a power 250.2, eq and crossover and a couple of neons? the thickest power wire the cap 5 will accept is 4 which is wierd since its a 5 farad cap. it seems to me if i use terminal connects i should be able to use 0 gauge but i don't have the cap 5 yet so i can't tell. another question do you guys think its overkill to go over a enclosure with silicone caulking, put 3 to 4 layers of spray on truck bed lining then another 3 to 4 layers of bondo to reinforce and make sure its perfectly sealed. i'm also going to put a partition between the two subs to prevent cancellation and use up the extra .2 cubes in my box.
