  1. BATCAPs and Yellow Tops aren't the same thing. I know this, someone said I didn't need a batcap so I asked if I should just use the spare or if I should get another yellowtop. I'm still not sure if I need a batt/ batcap
  2. So I need to look for a 3 way thats not fused?
  3. The 1200D will take 1/0 gauge right? It looks like it will, or will I have to ring it down a little bit?
  4. Ok I guess I'm gonna order one of these, unless someone can tell me if it is or isn't a T-Block, or whatever that is haha. I guess I am going to order to CB's, unless someone thinks there is a 3way distrubtion block that can do 1/0 gauge. thx Josh Oh btw all the parts I ordered for the install came up to around 100 bucks, the audio shop estimate for what they were gonna charge me was 775~~~ WTF, unbelievable.
  5. LoL Yea I was thinkin that too
  6. It's gonna be hooked up to a sealed box while I build the ported one. How would I find out the tuning of a sealed box?
  7. This is a few ideas I had. Not sure which ones I would do If I could.
  8. Hey guys, Over the next few months I will be doing alot to my mazda, System going in it first, I think I am gonna install it myself instead of fudgeing with the install shop, there trying to fudge me over. I'll get some picks and specs up tomorrow, to bad I didn't get the V6 ;( ... its ok I can still get so hp in her.
  9. Is this a Ground T-Block? http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KND-23
  10. yea it was a 800 that he suggested, if there just batteries, why not get a yellowtop instead? Yellowtop is cheaper. The 1200D will take 1/0 gauge, it will take 4 gauge easily.
  11. Whatever is cheaper, and I figured laminating the existing panels would b cheaper. How do i upload some pics?
  12. you think I should just use the spare batt instead of the batcap
  13. I guess it's not all panels, I'll take some pics of what I wanna CF. Brb
  14. does anyone know how to and if you can, carbon fiber panels?
  15. I looked at knu, but all there distr. blocks only had 1/0 gauge going in and 4 gauge going out, I think that is why he went with the CB's
  16. so you think I should get the CB's or the 3 way Distibution block? Where do I get the 300amp fuse holder?
  17. so I should just be safe and get like 10? Or do you think I would need more.
  18. I should be installing mine, this weekend-next week Jacob, How do I set the sonic filter on these? I keep seeing people say never turn it off, my question is what Hz shouldI set it too. Josh
  19. also I am getting a buddie that is a mechanic to do the Big 3 and he said all he needs is the wire and right connection and he will do it, so I firgured I would use the 1/0 gauge wire I have coming. What connectors would I need? Or do I have to look under the hood? I use to run amps when I was younger, but I've never done a system that needed this chit b4, and I broke my back last year so I can't do that chit anymore.
  20. The ring terminals were for the batcap i think. That's where the extra 4 came from i believe. yea that does make since, I'm using 0/1 or 1/0 gauge wire, At first he said I needed a 3 way distribution block, then he said seperate CB's Oh and I went and got a yellowtop optima 2 put under the hood, couldn't i just use the factory battery as the spare batt?
  21. I just got a list from the installers at the shop and they gave me a list of crap that i really dont need, but I have narrowed it to what I am going to get. If anyone has an idea of where i can order these somewhere cheaper that would b great. Anyway here is the list 150 amp Circuit Breaker 100amp CB 2 Ground T-Blocks--? Fuse Holder with 300amp fuse-- Batcap Rca's Speaker Wire 5 0/1 gauge o rings Can someone help me on where to get this.
  22. What is bigger than 1/0? Where would I go to get the wire from? And it is going in a 08 Mazda6
  23. Hey everyone, I am taking the car in tomorrow to get my amps installed and I need to go get a wiring kit. I am looking for some quick advice on what I need and what gauge wire, I really would rather purchase this before hand then get overcharge at the shop. I want to go ahead and get all the wiring I will need for 2 sundown 1200's and a Sundown 100.4 I also am having a friend do the Big Three, What wire type/gauge will I need for that. I am only going to be running 1 or the 1200's and a older 2 channel amp, but I want them them to go ahead and install all of them so when I get the electrics upgraded I can go ahead and have it ready. Thx Josh P.S. I am having this done (install not Big 3) done tomorrow at 10am, so if anyone can help me before hand I would really appreciate it.
  24. still waiting on my sub, so right now I am fabricating a box to stick 2 10's in to test the amp out. :} Will let you know how it goes.
