April 7, 201015 yr Soo i did my grounds today to the engine and chassis. The car idles smoother but still has alot of voltage drop. still gotta get the alternator power wire made. I hope it helps.To help with my voltage drops, I added another ground from my battery's negative terminal to the car's chassis so I ended up with two negtiave runs (just a heads up since it may help in your case as well).
April 7, 201015 yr so since u didnt exactly answer my question is the seamless look on the box from sanding and paint? its awesome looking like it fiberglass or sumthing really nice man
April 7, 201015 yr Author so since u didnt exactly answer my question is the seamless look on the box from sanding and paint? its awesome looking like it fiberglass or sumthing really nice man where the pieces are glued i belt sanded them so there flush and did a lil more painting on the seams to cover it up nicely. ohh and some wood putty/ filler too. thanks for the compliment hope i got ur question right this time.and jay-cee i have two new grounds that i did with 2/0 welding cable that goes to the strut tower and one to the tranny right off the batt.

April 7, 201015 yr Ok that is whats up, dont know any other helpful tips off the top of my head as of now.
April 7, 201015 yr Author Yea if the power from the alternator to the batt dosent help i will probably end up getting a kinetik hc1400 as my starting and audio batt. Unless someone tells me otherwise????
April 7, 201015 yr What battery do you currently have in there and what amps will you be installing? How many amps is your factory alternator?
April 8, 201015 yr Author What battery do you currently have in there and what amps will you be installing? How many amps is your factory alternator?Stock subaru battery, Just one mrp-m1000 might add a 4ch like mrp-f300 later on. And my stock alternator is 75amps
April 8, 201015 yr If you dont plan on getting a better alternator I do suggest on getting a better starting battery, I would check out XS Power battery on this forum and see what battery fits your location (can be used as a starting battery and have some juice to power your system):I Have a XXXXXXX watt sytem. What battery do I need? - SSA Car Audio ForumIt just seems like your stock electrical is just not enough to run that system and the cars normal duties too.
April 10, 201015 yr Author hows this sound for a battery.... 400cca/500ca, 140min reserve cap at 20a, 80ah for 69.95 its an exide NG24 deep cycle. And im thinking of selling my SSD12 to my cuz and getting a BL12 now that i have a bigger amp. I wasent planing on getting a bigger amp, but now that i have it i might get one.
April 10, 201015 yr So are we going to see some pics of the install? That is a killer job you did on that enclosure! The paint is pretty fly too.
April 10, 201015 yr Author I'll take a pic or two of it in the car in a Min. Remember I Dident make an amp rack yet so its chillin in there. And thanks

And im thinking of selling my SSD12 to my cuz and getting a BL12 now that i have a bigger amp. I wasent planing on getting a bigger amp, but now that i have it i might get one.kind of wierd, it can hold 20 amps for 140 minutes(=2.33 hours.)2.33hours x 20amps=46.6ah, and not 80, but yea for such a price it's a steal.I like the car and the whole build.It's a well build enclosure and looks really nice.
April 10, 201015 yr Author ^^ oh thanks for that good info. And I took a video but photo bucket is taking forever and its only one min long but i'll give ya guys a link once its up. hope ya like it. Im impressed with the sub... but if my cuz wants this setup im going with a single BL12.
April 10, 201015 yr Author Heres a lil vid of my sub playing, Put On. Lmk what ya think! SSD12I have a weak mirror. LOL Edited April 10, 201015 yr by WRX Kid
May 2, 201015 yr Author The SSD is doing well. sounds great. I think that im going to upgrade to a Q 12 and throw it in the same box. Im hoping for harder hits from the bass drum, and it will handle the amp better than the SSD is. What do you guys think?

May 3, 201015 yr Author Get one man i love it. ESP in the winter but u dont get that down there. Up here my car pwns, i fly by everyone on the highway So what do you guys think about the Q idea?

Im hoping for harder hits from the bass drum, and it will handle the amp better than the SSD is. What do you guys think?I haven't heard either sub, but I do think the Q would be a little step up. If you do upgrade be sure to do a comparision on the two subs please.
