I'm going to have to take a new video of my current set-up. I have 2 runs of 0 gauge running from my battery to the back of my truck. I did the Big 3, replaced all grounds and wires from the alt to the battery with 0 guage. i have 300 amp fuses on each run, i had a set of Alpine SPX-17ref but i forgot to set the HPF and they were playing all the sub-sonic freq and they died a horrible death. So I replaced the 6.5 mids witht he phoenix gold RSD65CS but kept the Alpine tweeters and the Alpine crossovers. I am currently giving each door 150rms through an alpine PDX2.150 The best part is my sub, mmmm Fi Q powa! Fi Q 12" with BP in a 2.5cuft @ 32hz after displacement runnin off of a Clarion DPX 11551 @ 1600RMS @ 2ohms. **** ***** real hard, I need to fix my back window since it leaks from the pain this sub gives it. I was metered at 142dB im proud Back seat boxes suck, wish there was an easier way of getting a box set up without using 3/4 of my back seat. Ill post some pics and a video later today. Oh ya my HU is an Alpine CDA-9885 and I use my iPhone for my musics, full speed cable FTW

Run the power wires and the RCA/speaker cables down opposite sides of the truck.
