Take what bar off?

Electrical upgrades may be needed.

Typically poly fill is used in sealed enclosures. There are many calculators to help you figure out how to tune your enclosure properly. I highly doubt you will get 4 gauge wire into any sub terminal.

depending on the way it is mounted you could just shim it(add some washers on the bolt behind the alternator to make the uneven side stickout further) Oddly enough I tried that, and I think it just made it worse. There was just too much pull on an already weak bracket.

Lol, I think they are blowing smoke up your ass. Most flip out screens fail due to the motors giving out from normal use. I have never seen one fail from bass, but that's just in my experience.

Do you play music with your engine off?

When you starve your amp for power by having too small of wire it will effect your entire electrical system. Larger wire, some good SOLID grounds and good connections will improve your issue. The more resistance you have in your power wire the harder it is for voltage to push the current along the outside of the strands putting strain on your amp, and hindering the ability for the current to be delivered upon demand. For a garden hose reference, it would be like kinking the line and slowing the water down.

It would still be a double baffle if you counter sink the subs.

I won't run Kicker because I've had problems with their amps, but I know people who swear by it just like any other brand.

Check your connections. Especially grounds and signaling. What are you running?

Sounds like it would be more trouble than it's worth unless you want to go above 12v electrical.

I do not doubt the insides are different, I know they are. I never have doubted the quality of RF either, but there are pros and cons with any product. If it were my money, I would get the Crescendo for the power and the fact that they aren't bad amplifiers, and for the price compared to power I think it's the better buy between the two.

Who knew the letters RF are worth half of the value of the amp? Might be a bold statement but for more than twice the power for the same price, the Crescendo would be a no brainer.

Hello!

I would get a Crescendo. The SSA store has plenty to choose from.

Look at my signature..

Hell yeah man! Can't wait to see them play.

Piece of cake. well I got the amp in and cleaned up a lot of old crap. Ran out of energy and daylight to get the speakers in. Either I don't know how to solder or I bought a shitty iron. Either way, I'm probably gonna be using butt connectors to extend the tinline crossover wires to the tweeters. I need to get some sort of metal strap to mount the tweeter in the factory location on the dash http://www.lowes.com/pd_364404-37672-884480_0__?productId=3478229&Ntt=metal+strap&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dmetal%2Bstrap&facetInfo=

I used These But you can also trim the end of the 1/0 gauge wire to fit into your amplifiers slot Those come in handy sometimes. That is a good option if you did want to go ahead with 0 gauge.

You can go as big as you like. Better a bit extra than not enough. Look for some good OFC wire.
