Sweet, now you just have to stop talkin and start installing :P. I'm sure you will be very pleased with it. How many volts will that Kenwood be sending it?

 

that's why you trim down the wire till you can shove it in there

 

Hmmmm....Ghetto

 

that defeats the purpose of a heavy gauge wire now doesn't it?

 

What kind of dogs are those? I want one...

 

no fuses pwn me at the moment...

 

they are half germanshepard/rottweiler and we are training them as dogs that guard the house...we had a break in so its about that time we do something about it... ...but they are still nice...they already know attack, stop, jump, beg, sit, food, quiet, (we are teaching them bark as we speak..but that one is tricky) and yeah i know this is WAY

 

he hooked it up and...I'll let him post results.

 

yes yes, it's temporarily connected to the main power line right now, and it's not tuned correctly yet. but damn, this arc and sub combo ownz!

 

snapped a few pics...


a look through the rear arm rest

shot of the sub and box

another angle

still got to get some fuses so can get the distro block and RF amp in (which is soon to be replaced by another amp )

 

So what is the voltage going to the amp again?

 

dam that amp looks hot in the arm rest

 

not enough, 2.0 iirc.

i need to upgrade to a newer HU soon. the kenwood is starting to act goofy at times.

 

Not using the amp defeats the purpose of having one

 

ah but it is being used...

 

Gordon, looks nice man. Nice to see you got the wires all cleaned up.

 

thanks Tim, i try not to pull an Avi install...

 

I bet that 2 volts will be just fine.

 

don't most spade connectors defeat the purpose of heavy gauge wire?

 

i doubt it.

 

spade connectors shouldn't pose a problem. they come in assorted sizes for different wire gauges.

 

Spade connectors usually won't restrict current flow, even if the end (spade part) looks alot smaller than your wire. For example, the fusible element, metal part that burns out in large fuses (i.e., 150a), looks ALOT smaller than the wire going to and from the fuse. It doesn't matter that it's small in diameter because the fusible element is VERY short. The shorter a wire is, the less resistance it has. So you can use small, short wire to supply the same amount of current as large, long wire (depending on awg and length). Basically, if you have two wires of the same awg, one is 1ft long and the other one is 10ft long, the shorter wire will be able to supply more current.

 

Looks good

 

BTW, I forgot to compliment on your new arc amp.

Looks really nice. Bet that's plenty of power for the 15.
