    sweet...we need pics.

    Also I'd just wire them in parallel...with the current you'll be running I wouldn't use a relay...also if you drive it everyday it doesn't really matter

    I still need to sand, but you get the idea. I was only going to do the 2 port corners, but i mixed too much resin and hardener and I didn't want to waste it... so I used it in the other corner, now I don't know how many more corners I'm willing to spend money on lol.

    Well I'm about 1/2 done with my battery/amp/crossover rack. The 2 batteries take up a lot of room so I think I'm going to have to build a shelf for my second amp to sit on top of the other... so I'll probably need some sort of fan system.

    That's what I'm thinking.

    Gray = 1.5"x3.5" brace

    I don't know man. My wire won't be here until Jan 3rd, and my alternator supposedly shipped out today, but I don't have a tracking number yet so who knows.

    Thanks. I'm not really going for looks, more functionality this time. I'm not cutting holes in the floor of the rack and running the wires under it... that just lengthens my wires and it makes it impossible to rewire anything without a 2 hour ordeal.

    Hmm... has anyone put their amps somewhere in front of their port to cool them off?

    yup. works too...passive cooling

    i even turned my box over so it fires into the amps heat sinks.

    I need at least 2 ANL fuse holders. My local shop charges $25 each. The best deal I've found so far online is this stinger fuse holder, but it's an open end fuse holder. I don't think that really matters since both fuse holders are going in my trunk, but what do you guys think?

    those are for 0 gauge wiring...We used a couple of those on my friends install when we upgraded to 0 gauge wiring...normal fuse holders can't fit the big wire
