Oh and my antenna line for my Sirius radio came loose and I tripped over it getting out of my car yesterday. Snapped it. No damn new music for me for a while. I WILL freak out if I don't get my 'octane' fix.

eDead is just a mass loader. I'd stick to Damplifier if I were you.
My IDQ12D4s will be here tomorrow, and I am about half way through building the box/amp rack. It's tough when your whole install revolves around making sure everything is neatly tucked away as much as possible so you still have cargo space for your job. I like it better when I can just give up the entire trunk for an install. I don't remember the last time I got stuck with a box that was as small as 2.004 Cubic Feet.
I hope it still sounds good. I'll know by Saturday.

154.5 Outlaw? USAC used to run nearly all of their comps by outlaw rules. Still a very impressive number none the less.
This year will be like starting all over for me. All the new mics are pressure-based, so the numbers everyone was holding have dropped off pretty steep. I'm told 150db legal is a very hard number to hit with 2x12s or 1x15 again. But then again, The guy who was telling me about it was doing so while pushing a sealed prefab box into the back of a customer car, so we'll see I guess.
Got any more pics of that car?

Install #3 in the golf. The interior is not done yet, but the equipment is all in.
This is my work car, so saving space was the main priority.
I realize some of these pics are repeats, but I thought it would be better to have them all in the same post.
Next step is going to be to completely remove the back seat. I'm going to build a false floor from the box forward with MDF, then cut a hole right above the amp. I'll cover the hole with grill, then breathable cloth. After that, the entire section of MDF including the box will be carpeted.
Right now I am running into heating issues with the amp. After about 3 hours of play, it kicks into thermal protection. Understandably so.

Question:
Is is possible to run one wire from battery to trunk, where amps will be located, and have a power block back there to run power to each amp? This would save a buncha wire running the entire length of the car for powering each amp (there will likely be 3 amplifiers).
Thanks for your help.
Also, can someone tell me the best use of an Audio Control electronic crossover? Which model works best for a four-six speaker + one sub woofer system (multiple amps)?

I like this thread. I used to be into this stuff so much until I started riding and cars left my thought process.
Still would love to put a small tube underneath my truck seat with some killer mids and tweeters in the doors/dash.

There would be a fuse at the battery to handle all the amplifier current draw. The amplifiers have their own internal fuses as well. The power block is a terminal center that you take the wires off of to go to each amplifier. So in essence one large diameter wire would run from that block to the battery. Physically I know how to do this but I am not a car stereo installer so I need to know from someone with this type of experience whether it can be done. Maybe I need to post this on a web site dedicated to car audio.

PM 6 directly, he'd know and likely respond.
