    confused about enclosure

    +1 to that. After trying to separate two glued pieces of plywood I won't put any screws on my box. It just looks better without any screws and holes... Not the mention the time and money you spend on it. If glued properly it is so strong that the wood will break before the bond itself. But if you don't have big enough clamps or hurry to finish the whole box, you can go with screws too. Definitely at your avatar.

    8" mid-bass drivers to keep up with xcon

    So your gonna have you sub crossed from 50hz on down on a low pass filter. Then your gonna have your midbass speakers play bandpassed from 60hz-100hz and I guess have some components to play from 120hz on up. Maybe Im reading this wrong but that seems like these are your goals, correct me if im wrong.

    How high in the frequency range do you want these to play, where will your tweeters/high be crossed at? Most of those speakers are more for sub-bass duty then mid-bass duty but that depends on how high you want them to be crossed at.

    How loud can I go?

    Its either going to be a single 15" BTL or 2-12" BTL's that will fit, doubt you can get the correct enclosure in that trunk for an 18".

    Stocking up on wire

    I would use welding wire instead of knukonceptz for all your electrical needs, Im in the process of replacing my all my knu wire now with some real copper cable. I get my remote wire from autozone or walmart.

    Temperature Problem.

    Who knows if the Big 3 will help with this problem, but it will help with your system. The only way to tell is to do it and go from there, hope you get this resolved soon.

    Big 3 done wrong?

    its insurance. the fuse is there just in case you get into a front end collision and the power wire gets pinched, which would short your battery and have the potential to turn a minor accident into a major fire and/or total loss Then why don't they come fused from the factory? Mine came fused from the factory.

    Big 3 done wrong?

    It looks good the only thing that looks like they didnt do is sand the paint where they ground to the frame, but if they did my fault. Did they do a ground wire from your engine block to car's frame or negative battery post as well. You can put a fuse between the positive wire going from the postive battery post to the positive alternator post, its up to you but the fuse will help in case anything happens so its a safety hazard or precaution. Some use a fuse and some dont, hope that helps.

    Temperature Problem.

    I dont think you car running hot should affect the subs. Do you know why your car is running hot, has this happen before you put your subs in?

    New magnets in yet?

    Im pretty sure Fi will make a thread on when the magnets arrive as well.
  22. What is your budget as well?
  23. I voted no, I used to use them only on my sub amps back in the day. Now I just use my Epic-160 to control the sub limit or the volume knob.
