Mean green alt.
And then the monsters. 2 re audio xxx 15s in a sealed box
Entire jeep hurculined then 1inch thick dynamatt through out the entire thing.

It's ok for now ill be redoing it soon with 4 10s added along with the 15s
Nice build i would like to hear it like in a video and why not just go with 2 more 15s i think it would look cleaner than 4 10s and 2 15s

Yeah, I know, I just wanted to know how long of RCAs I might need. I got a cheap wiring kit that's true 4 gague and just wanted to get a better pair of RCAs so I got some kickers. I don't like hearing all of the noise in the sub.

Yea, alt to block, block to frame and battery to chassis. But you should really upgrade all + and - wires.

your right.. i bought it a about 2 years ago kinda forgot... the amps are 4 ohm.. the subs are 2 ohm... i got them off ebay new with the box for 600 bucks - i ordered the 4 ohm ones but got the 2... they are 750 2ohm RMS so im kind of underpowering them but it is still a little loud for my taste... and yes now that i think about it, it does run a little hot because of the difference in impedence.. but for 2 years nothing has lit on fire or even blow a fuse yet...

theres the deck



sorry for crappy pics, my cell phone sucks...
