whats the budget for all the other stuff youre GOING TO NEED ..batteries, WIRE, odds and ends, and maybe an alternator ??

well the positive on the box terminal melted and warped. this is the second time it has melted but the first time it didn't get ruined completely. but this time it did. the wiring from inside side of terminal to sub is 12g and the wire on the outside side to amp is 16g for 2000 watts rms i know it should be 8g. i know. but havent had the money to buy any yet. both times this has happened it has been the same case: the sub wouldnt hit until almost at 2/3 volume. or if i messed around with the terminal peices. (tightened and loosened them) in the first case i came to the conclusion that the two gold prongs that you see in the pictures on the inside side of the terminals were touching making it melt etc etc but in this case i dont think the prongs im talking about were touching. so could it be that the 16g isnt sufficent enough? this might be so pointless and stupid but i have more questions from there... thanks.

no problem

once u get one upload the picture the put the mouse over the picture once its in your album get the image code.. its the last one out of all of them. it looks like - blah blah tcopy and paste that code into your post and wha-la

have a good holiday

do u have a photobucket account?

i likey. the port is clean

well i just ran the wire right out of the hole for now straight to the amp.. i had to move the amp but thats fine for now. i also stuck a towel in the hole for now so the tuning isnt off but i did notice the it sounded a bit louder. but i could be wrong.

oh shit. light bulb! since my amp is mounted on the top of my box. i will drill holes right in front of the speaker terminals and run the wire up through that. it'll be clean=less danglin wire =and save me money=less wire no?

lmao what the...

yea after some serious pounding i came to my senses and turned the sub off so something like that wouldnt happen harhar. but thats a good idea as well thank you and great lol. i have a nice 3 inch circle to cover.... isn't gunna look pretty at all oh well no one sees it besides me

very nice

i was going to make my own terminals with two threaded peices and nuts+washers. no? i know you made your own box. what'd u use?

i just went to order it and then once i hit checkout it goes to a page that says "there is a problem with this wbsite's security certificate" i have the choice to close the websitew or continue but it says not recommended should i just keep going or is something up?
