Posted June 7, 200916 yr Ok so everything is ordered and should be here within a week.Car: 2000 explorerMaterials:-Alpine cde-102 H/U-18" Fi BL with Cooling, Flatwind. D2, wired to 1 ohm.-Sundown 1500D-8cu ft. box tuned to 32hz.-KNU 1/0 amp wiring kit.-RCA's, etc all form knu-12 gauge speaker wire from KNUToo start of this is just a quick run through to make sure everything is right. First I will be doing Big 3 soon enough but for the first little bit I will be without it. Now I am keeping my stock battery and alt as the battery is very good and the alt is 130amps which should be fine for the one amp. I have installed my h/u with the remote and the rca's running down the right side of the SUV. The 1/0 gauge will be running down the left. So i will connect my amp and screw in my sub but before connecting the two I will set my gain with a multi-meter and a cd with the test one of 50hz. I am going to be running the sub at 1500w max since it is fully loaded and I have been told it can handle that. So that means I shall be looking for 38.7volts on the multi-meter when the h/u is playing at 3/4 volume, sub max, and everything else at what it will be played at when everything is ready. I know that to never play my volume at full so I will not go pas 3/4 volume which is 27 on mine. So once all the gain is set and the rest of the knobs are set I connect my sub. I will break it in for at least a good 4 hours before giving it a challenge.I am looking for any advice or if there is anything I have missed please let me know as I will not take any offense.
