I know, i was really impressed by them, for only being 200 RMS, it slammed pretty hard...Just as good as 1 600 RMS HX2...

Plus my box was way off, i bought a box for 2 12' Earthquake HP's and cut out more for those 15's...

That is.......a hella lot of wires, lol. Like the setup though, its tight. what are the specs on the 2 amps and what is each one running? Did you have to change altenators or you got strike caps hidden somewhere?

Ok, ill start by explaining my wires in the picture...

2 sets of RCA's, a spliced remote wire, 2 8 gauge power and 2 4 gauge ground wires for amps, 2 more 8 gauge power and 2 4 gauge ground for 2 1.0 farad caps under the interior paneling, and the other 4 gauge in you see, is a 2nd battery in the other interior panel...

fronts where fosgate 4x6's off deck
6x9's kenwood excelon 4 way 6x9's being pushed by the pioneer gmx1022, which was 400x1 @ 4ohm, or 100x2 @ 4ohm, the 6x9's where 100 RMS...

Amp for 2 15' XLC's(200 RMS a peice), was being pushed by the RF 800.2 (800x1 @ 4ohm, or 400x2 @ 4ohm, needless to say, i had the gain down a little), the box was designed for 2 12' Earthquake HP's, i think 1.25 Cube a side(it was a split box, one with the board in the middle) i just cut it out to drop the 15's in, basically stuffed it to the speakers, and it pounded....

deck, pioneer premeir DEHP412 ?

know nothing of box's measurements...

question, I am going to be hooking up 2 amps, did u run the remote wire to one amp, then from that amp to the other, or where did you splice it at?

You can do it one of two ways...

You can either...

A. Run your single remote wire to the terminal on the amp, then with a seperate wire, just run it from that terminal to the other terminal on second amp...
B. Or splice it before you run to your amps(like i did, i believe you cant see it in the picture, but i just ran it to a butt splicer thing and plugged each wire into the splice...

Either way it dont matter, the remote wire carries such a small current to tell the amp to kick on, it doesnt matter, so amp to amp, or splice....
