Excellent, man! If you don't mind me asking, how do you have your box secured? I made a plywood "platform" and secured it using the bolts that were already there for the back seat. I'm looking to do another build and I need a better idea for all that extra weight! :P

Nice setup!

well the box has 90 angled steel with about 15 screws through a platform under it that has 4x4s for legs and it is held down with the seat bolts in the back, i slammed on the brakes today cause of some jackass and it didnt budge. the weight itself keeps it back there too. all the weight is low, amps are about 8in off the floor, magnet is about 10in off the floor, battery is on the platform 4in from the floor, etc.

half a sheet of .75in MDF. 4 4x4 feet on each side and a 2x4 across the middle so it touches the arch that goes down the center line of my console. I have stood on it multiple times, and i weight 275lbs and it doesnt flex.

thats what i will end up doing. probably a scendo 3500 at .5 or i may get it reconed to dual 2 so i can run it a 1. But if i do .5 ill watch the gain. Its awesome though, 2400rms to the sub, and 320rms to my doors and all i have is a stock alt with a kinetik HC800 and the most drop i have seen is down to 12.9v at idle. I dont drop .2v when driving. (gain is still backed down a hair until my DD1 comes.)
