Friend needs a box for 2 18's, single layer with a double baffle and some bracing will be enough. PM me with a quote on pricing

If he needs a wiring kit he'll need the other stuff anyways so no real reason to go for welding wire. The amount you'll save is so minimal too.

Since it's not super clear on the website, this is the OFC kit: Complete 8 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit - Merchandise Their KCA line isn't pure copper. For an extra $10 you save yourself any potential trouble later on down the road.

You would probably be OK with the 8 gauge kit. If you're hooking up to 2 amps you will need a distribution block to split up the power wire, this will work: Bassik 4 - 8 Gauge Power/Ground Distribution Block - Merchandise

Knukonceptz Amp Installation Kits Stick to the OFC (100% copper) wire

I can attest to Troy's work over at Amp Lab as well. He knows his **** and is an honest guy. I've been banging on the saz-3k everyday that he sold me with absolutely no problems.

You're still a noob, don't worry

As someone who used CCA for years, just use OFC. As others have mentioned weldingsupply.com sells 2/0 dirt cheap. It has lower resistance and doesn't heat up anywhere near as much, you won't need to buy more wire if you decide to scale up your system, and if you ever want to sell it a lot more...

It will be a bit peaky but the comps aren't really ideal 4th order subs so I wouldn't worry about it. Either make it so you can take that whole front face off, or just pull out the ports to adjust them. Playing around with port lengths and sizes helps a lot. Your best bet is to do some trial and...

Larger vehicles usually work best if you mount the subs on the top with the port on the front off to one side. Whether you position the subs so they're pushed up next to each other in a line or stagger them so they're at an angle is up to you, it won't change the sound.

What vehicle?

Have you deadened and done the works on your doors?

What vehicle do you have? You'll likely just be ok with getting a large second battery for the back if you're only planning on doing music.

Deadening the van is the hardest part. The sides are pretty sturdy and even the doors are quiet but the roof and rear hatch are a *****. I think I mentioned it somewhere but the roof is split up into sections by those supporting cross bars. To brace the roof, you want to cut some strips of ply...
