New system plans for Christmas

[xX Mavr1ck Xx]

Same brand/size/age? No way! I'm not sure where you read that but im pretty positive that's false. I have a optima yellowtop under the hood and a xs power 2400w powercell batt in the back. Different size, brand, and probably different age. Been running my system for 2-3 weeks and no problems.

Hmmm really? That's some good news! Well I need to pickup another battery for the yukon. I already had the extra battery setup under the hood, so I'll probably put there. What battery would you or anyone suggest for me to get?


On another note, I got all my wires ran and hid. Man I had so much trouble snaking all that 0 gague, but its done and "almost" unoticeable lol. Hooked the amp up to it and it turns on and everything and is ready for the BTL. Even more good news, I sold my old setup for more than I thought I would (300). Just glad to get it out and move on. I'll post pics up of how the wires look and stuff. Hopefully the bank will be open I can deposit my money and order the sub tomorrow =)! Man I can't wait!

For batteries id go with Kinetik, Optima Yellows, or you could get something like I have. All good choices for car audio.

BTL is officially ordered! I went with the cooling package, dual 2 ohm, and HiXmcoil. I'm super excited! I think I figured out what battery I'm going to get, http://www.batterymart.com/p-odyssey-pc1500dt-battery.html

I'm just going to run everything off that and take out my Duralast.

Ha I hear ya on the pics. Here's some of how the wiring turned out.
The amps going on the back of the box

power comes out just after the seatbelt bolt

Rca and remote

Here's where I mounted the bass knob.

This is going to be sick! I've been looking at the Brutus for my 15. what do you plan on covering the box in? I wanted to go wild with mine, and covered it with a layer of batting then cow print fabric! did my doors as well and it turned out sick, plus it's custom as hell! Just a thought.

Hey did you pay $98 for just the 0 gauge power wire? If so, that's kind of a rip off. Also, how much did you spend on that Odyssey battery? That site says $250 which again is a rip off lol.

Well rockford is one of the best in wires, but it wasn't just power and ground wire. It came with the fuse and fuse holder, remote wire, ring terminals, crimps, and some other bolts and stuff. It was a little expensive, but I think it's worth it. And the battery, I have no idea what a good price on a car battery would be, so it may very well be a rip off. Where could I get one like that for less?

Dude the cow print is legit lol. That looks pretty cool, and is definitely unique. Well I didn't want to get into too much trouble covering the box, so I just painted it. First I laid down some truck bed liner on the whole thing, and got some stuff called "spatter paint" and put that on top of the truck bed liner. I think it looks good and it was pretty easy to do.

Oh well if it includes all that stuff then it's not a bad deal at all.

On that battery, check and see if any stores carry it because sometimes you can find them cheaper in stores. Like Optima Yellowtop Batteries. You can sometimes find those for $150 in Pep Boys, Autohole, O'Reileys, etc. (Got mine for $130 off CL). I definitely wouldn't pay over $200 for a battery. The biggest factor you have to look at are the cold cranking amps (CCA). Check out this battery though if you wanna drop $250 on a good battery: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ULT-9050-160/
