Default Houndawg's / Bp's sound thread

So finally after troubleshooting EVERYTHING it was a faulty ground. Here is what is completed so far. I'm taking pictures tomorrow and doing a sound check. It's 11:30 pm and my neighbors are armed Lmao

Here's how I did it.
I ran conduit along my driver side with 2 awg wire coming up thru my spare tire well into a Audiobahn distribution block with 60 amp fuses.

After removing my rear seat and center console (which btw SUCKS) I ran my remote turn on lead and front speaker power wires (14 awg) thru the middle.

My RCA cables are running down the right side, one front, one rear, one subwoofer.

My rear power wires are ran independently (both in flexible conduit to prevent arcing if something happens) to each side using 14 awg wire.

I removed my 5.25 components in my front doors since I have a subwoofer for bass but am reinstalling them for mid bass later on.

Currently the speakers are unamped so I can break them in. HiFonics 5.25 in the tweeters and front doors and Boss kevlar weave 5.25 coaxial in the rear doors.

Subwoofer is a 10" Memphis audio S class in a ported box being pushed by a Kicker 400 rms x 1 amp.

Highs will soon be amped by a 125 rms x 4 Kicker amp.

Jensen touch screen DVD player up front.

Future plans are new subwoofer setup. I'm doing dual 12's but not in the rear shelf. I'm going to put them on each side of the trunk in custom boxes so that way I'll still have access to my spare tire and still have a usable trunk.

I'm leaning towards alpine type R's with a 1200 watt x 2 HiFonics amp.

putting subs in the trunk is a waste of money!
