help with running 1/0GA Amp wire and also looking for G5s

[Vicious00013]

Just ordered a new amp kit and plan on running the wires in the next few day. What do you guys think is the best way to hide wire this big and Im betting it wont fit in the firewall hole I keep hearing about so is my only other option to drill???

And Im replacing going to sale my solo barics and the amp they are on and so far I have picked up an Memphis amp 16-St 1300D. Im wanting to run Boston Acoustic G5s but Im having all trouble finding some.

Any one have an Idea where I can find some for a good price.
Havent decided how many yet. Prolly going to start with two and move up from there if im pretty happy with them,.. hence why the big gauge wire so I can add more amps

Ps,.. its a 2004 LT

run the 0 gauge under the truck, hide in loom if you can.

Why getting rid of the Solo's?

i agree. under the truck would be easier. we ran mine thru the interior of the truck. and it was a *****.

have you checked ebay?

Well I thought my solos were horrible sound quality... But it turned out it was the amp I was using. I put in the memphis and it made a world of differnce.

But know I kinda got on a SQ kick and have been researchign for new sound and settled on getting some G5s, thats what I bought the amp for. Now Im kinda up in the air cuz the solos do sound so good now.

And ya.. ebay had them,.. i think...lol
I attempted to buy some off there and paid for them,.. then the guy messaged me saying that are discontinued and he can't get any more.
Haven't tried a second attempt yet.

and now that the solos are sounding so much better.. im a lil scared.. what if I dont like the G5s as much.. I hear they sound amazing though..lol

constructed well.. very solid.
I didn't know if I was going to keep it,.. so I havent had it carpetted or painted yet.

well for posting over here i think... all Ive done today was.. log in over there.. look around.. come over here and make this post.. go to lunch.. come back,.. go try to look there and Im banned by IP.. and my user name is deleted.

And its two 10s...
and ya.. when i designed the box i couldnt decide if i wanted loud or SQ.. so I went in the middle..

 

[blueflamed03]

10's, do sealed, 1.75 per driver...it'll still get loud, and sound better.

 

[Vicious00013]

think I will lose much if I go 1.5 per driver??

And I using a Memphis Belle 16-ST 1300D, so I believe the 10s are getting about 1100 watts to them,... will the seal make enough difference to make t worth the trouble. And how much loudness do you think I would lose... right now I’m hitting at 129.5 db using some handheld SPL1000 meter... don’t think it’s real accurate... it didn’t cost very much..lol
