Wow, that sounds like what I said

You were correct! Never hurts to have someone reaffirm things.

To sorta answer my own question from earlier, ran the power wire through the big grommet to the left of the battery a little bit ago, 0 gauge will fit through there with some effort.

Brian, have you run the 0 gauge to the trunk yet? I've gotta do that in the next couple days; debating whether I should try to shove it through that grommet behind the battery or just run it in a conduit under the car.
havent put it in yet kyle. sorry

I like your efforts for your audio install. In saying that, I know I'm definitely not going to do the same, it's time consuming.Sakataj, continue to do your thang, hoping for the best for the end result.

Right now, I'm purchasing audio supplies from Woofersetc.com and the rest from Ebay.
I was curious about the higher output alternator, can you guys steer me inot the right direction.
current supplies:
Monster 401 XLN 4C 4-Channel RCA Audio Cables
STINGER 200 AMP Power System CIRCUIT BREAKER SGP90200
STINGER LED battery terminal
NEW STINGER SGP32 200AMP CURRENT RELAY BATTERY ISOLATOR
MMATS 2100.1 amp 1500rms bass
MMATS equalizer
MMATS 2-3.0 subwoofers 700rms bass
Focal Utopia 2-6.5" conponents

Still up in the air, dunno which to choose:
JVC NX7000BT or Kenwood DDX-812 (I got a hookup for $600)
Kinetix or XSPower battery
Monster MPC I402 SW-9 ft Xtreme Subwoofer Cable or SHI2320 Stinger - 20 foot - 2 Channel HPM3 RCA Cables

Sakataj, your thread is helping me here deciding what to do but on a low level obviously.

This is my last thread jack, I'm gonna wait for Sakataj to finish his install then start my own thread on my progress.
I will post some pics when the install begins.
For now I'm usually inspired by members pics....
Let me post some of the things I mentioned or didn't mentioned.











oh yeah...I received the ebay trunk bar,JP replica spoiler and roof spoiler today.
The subs and 4 channel amp are in the basement.

visual aid does help ya know!!! Don't worry the thread is all yours.

that's great...I only paid 400(original price $700) when it first came on the scene. I always searching for a good deal, why break your wallet unless you don't mind and the Galahad cup holder is a nice little piece for the interior, no need for the sarcastic look,lol.

yeah i started to get the kinetik hc3600 but thats just way overkill...

true, they do.....just wasnt sure why u posted the wing,cup holder etc. the audio was fine. its no matter, not trying to run you outta here.

oh, i wasnt trying to break the bank. i coudlnt find a amp that would power this sub completely without bridging it so i bought one of the biggest i knew of what does the galahad cup holder hold onto btw? so u doing just components or a sub also?


BTW ALL....filed a dispute on paypal this morning already have a credit for the battery box. only problem is i NEEDED that today or tomorrow so i will reorder one but it wont be here in time...thats ok. till the alternator gets here it wont matter. (hoping for it to come in on before next wed)


EDIT: ordered new battery tray.....so just waiting on that, half din dvd player will be here fri, alternator next week

The Galahad cup holder came with 3 types of plastic hooks to hold to the vents or doors. Waiting for another member to sell his/her cup holder so I can place it in the rear vent center console.

Hope you get your money back from the battery box.

Pardon, what rca cables are you using? I just purchased Monster interconnect 401 XLN 4C 4-Channel RCA Audio Cable 13ft and Monster Cable 402 XLN XTREME Subwoofer RCA Interconnect on ebay.
