  1. Today i was try to hook up components speakers on my doors.. I didn't realize that my chevy sonic hatchback is pain the ass..lol.. I was doing a 16 gauge speaker wire thru between rubber tube.. And saw a push connection.. Wth! It's not like old car easy way..lol.. What you guys do install it? Any help would suggest be great.


  2. Hello all basshead! Lol.. I decided to change system..i wanna go more louder.. So no more soundqubed HDS3.. Hello to new wolframaudio..i order AU- spl single 12.. It should be released middle of September.. The box that I'm going to build is 2.8 cube feet and tune to 33.5 hz.. Along with bigass-port is 6' and 22' long... Anyways can't wait to build.. What do you recommend paint brand to cherry red on port? 


  3. I currently have two HDS3.1 10s.. My baby steps are going to build 4th order wall.. I have chevy sonic 2015 hatchback.. The 6 subs will be inverted inside port wall.. I will be working on the  back seat out for measuring spaces.. Depends on my taste build.. It probably will be done by a yr or two.. Anybody can dream it even low on budget.. First is get a mids and high front stage.. Of course it's going all soundqubed products.. The amp will be 4500 rms.. And three batteries in back.. I will upload into photobucks.


  4. Thx guys for try help..lol.. Anyways.. I'm happy with my two soundqubed 10s and second battery in back( shrinken) that stops from dimming.. Now i can play bass for one hour straight.. No problem.. But my power acoustik 3000 gets little hot. I'm try to shop around the cooling fan to cool down my amp.. I see some others have like tube fan? Where can i get that? Do i have to make one from pvc cut into two pieces attached fan? Keep bass on!

    The battery MUST be a sealed type like an AGM. Otherwise will gas into the car. 

    I did the same thing because I couldn't reach the alternator. I bought the biggest battery they had at the parts store and mounted it next to my box. Other route is weld in a battery box next to the spare tire.

     I am running 2000 Watts to my subs, and two more 600 watt amps to the mids and highs. The second battery completely stopped my headlights from dimming and holds 14.1 volts, even at full tilt for long periods.

     If you are going to buy namebrand battery I would do the XS Power. Definitely DO NOT buy an Optima. Otherwise I promise the parts store brand will work just fine. 

     Here's pics of my last two biulds for ideas!

    Installing a second battery in the back of the vehicle is another option, that will stop or reduce your headlights from dimming. Even without installing the Big-3.

    What kind battery should i get? My amp is 2 ohms of 1,800 watts and plan on another 10 inch sub. Also plan on get amp for mids and highs soon. Oh yea i have small space in back. Hopefully get small battery right by spear tire.


  7. I'm try to figure out how to stop dimming head lights.. I know there is big 3 upgrade but it's pain in the butt is take passenger side wheel off and wheel well cover off to work on.. I just wish were simple like old cars.. Lol.. And or upgrade agm battery. Only singer sells alternator.. Other brands don't because of pulling is small on factory.. I'm try stay away from volt cap.. Some said is bad for alternator

    Are the connections in the fuse black really tight

    I did actually swap out new mmats pure cooper power wire..that thing is heavy feeling.. I paid alot for this one than cheap.. Man it pull more power juice and hits harder now.. I'm glad to fix it.. Oh and my amp just warm while play longer..:D.. 


  9. Ok i have questions.. Today got my fuse bock plastic bottom cover that melts.. I did check grounds are good and had bare metal connection are good.. My amp is power acoustik 3000.. I only use 1,800 watts for one 10 inch sub.. And 4 gauge power cable.. I'm try to think.. Maybe i need 0 gauge? 


  10. Just got big 3 upgrade 4 g from gp audio 4 ft power and ground cable.. I just realized my alternator passenger side is lower of engine..it looks going to be pain in the ass from going under to work on.. I thought is top side engine.. But I'm wrong..lol.. My only problem is the cable is little short to reach battery post.. But i didn't add fuse with it.. So maybe it can reach to battery post.. Will see.. :rolleyes: and definitely will take pictures..


  11. Thanks guys! I ordered big 3 is on the way... I'm itching get a another 10 inch and get a high output enclosure sub box.. Will see if my budget can afford..lol. 


  12. I'm waiting on anl fuse block for power to amp.. I read some what that 4 gauge power wire is 125 or 150 amp fuse up to 1,800 watts amp.. Because power acoustik don't have fuse in it.. I have anl fuse to the battery.. So order online feels like takes forever to get here.. Lol.. So afte that.. My next project is buy ssa evil component sets mids and highs.. They have tweeters but 6.5 mids sold out.. I'll wait until they get back in stock.. Hopefully soon..

    Welcome to SSA dude! I have the same car but 1 year older. Damn dash kit for the aftermarket stereo was like $200 for that car or I would build a system in that one too lol. Good luck with the build. Those Soundqubed woofers look nice. 

    Yes that's crazy dash kit cost expensive.. I've seen some touch screen factory radio they do 150 spl..lol. So i stick with it..
