    how do you fit 8 gauge in push button terminals

    It's a 1000w sub woofer for christsake. Use 12awg.

    need an amp for my Icon15

    If you're wanting power at two ohms, don't pay for an amp that does power at 1 ohm. Look into a Kicker product as most of their amps are stable down to 2 ohms.
  4. You're pretty much screwed with that combo. Wire it like that until you can get an amplifier that is stable at 2 ohms.

    speaker wire

    Home Depot sells a synthetic cable "lube". That works quite well in tight places.
  6. No. Even if your subwoofer was DVC4 ohm, the best you can do is a final 2 ohm load. Posting your model numbers of the subwoofer and amplifier would help us help you. More information the better.

    08 bl and 09 bl same box?

    The entire motor is different. Can't say on the soft parts, but I would imagine those changed a bit as well.

    speaker wire

    Use a wire coat hanger. Make a small hook at one end and loop the wire on it and tape it in place with electrical tape. Try to make that point as skinny as possible to aide getting it through the hole. Then just Fish it through.

    Final Design. No More Changes.

    I doubt you'll have the space in a beetle to fit a box large enough for 4 12" BTL's.

    Your amps won't survive long at .25 ohms a piece.

    SAX125.2 speaker hiss/distortion

    WTF? Why not? Resistance will probably be less in a unibody car by simply running a line to the battery instead of grounding to the car body. When grounding a piece of equipment, the best ground is the one with the least amount of resistance. Or as close to 0 ohms as possible.
  13. Possibly just a shit amp.
  14. You didn't give a budget, how was he supposed to know that?

    What should I do with these?

    Build a transmission line for them.

    ssa's ported box calculator

    Sub displacement is usually so minimal, it won't change the sound noticeably.

    Amp choice for 2x 12ssd's

    http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?...products_id=205 Get DVC1 subs.
  19. Do us a favor and take a couple of measurements with a DMM. Measure at the alternator, at front battery, after the fuse, at the HC600, and finally at the amp. Post those results here. Do it with the car idling.

    IA warden vs DDz

    My bad. They weren't 6x9's. http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sony/xs1121.1.wmv Granted, it looks like an AudioControl meter which are known to be 3-6db off of a Termlab. EDIT EFFFFFFFFFFFFF I found it. http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Various/6x9.1.wmv 169.2db

    New Amp Problems

    If the fuse was too small, it would have popped by now. Go get a DMM and check your voltage at the battery, before the fuse, after the fuse and at the amp. Post those numbers here.
