Nothing yet as I just got it in yesterday, but I will be upgrading the battery, as for alternator I was told to stay away from that due to overloading car, and probably the most important upgrade Im going to do here in a few weeks is installing a grounding kit on all the main points using gold terminals. Oh and Im putting in a gold negative terminal on the battery. I'll be posting pics in a few days of the sub setup as its not completed.

The gauge wire size is 4gauge as its alot of juice coming from the system. What, are you quizzing me now? As for Regular Joes, he helped me out quiet abit on the setup but I believe his amps are placed upright & are alone. Plus my setup is the artistic work of my "high" local audio installer. But it's a good job he did.

No not questiong, just looking for information as I am about to do my own install soon. My original plan was to upgrade my alt wire to 4awg and run a 4awg to my trunk, but now I am reconsidering and thinking about leaving the alt wire stock but still having a 4awg run to the trunk.

I take this kind of thing fairly seriously, so I need to try and have all the information I can get my hands on before a decision is made.

That being said, what are the fuse sizes in your 2 amps? Mine is fused at 100 amps but I have serious doubts that it will ever see that much of a strain on it.

Yeah the right amp as you can see is larger, therefore the crossovers and cap had to be adjusted accordingly. Keep in mind the pic I took was also off as its not centered. Of course the whole point of the setup is to have it slanted........not your ordinary,usual setup. But yeah when I got in to see for the first time, I noticed the crossovers and cap were just abit off due to the size of the right amp. But thanks for everyones opinion.
