Default Custom Stereo Build

As some of you know I haven't posted here in a while but I did Pro Audio back in my day and was able to help several others while here. To the Point I am going to be doing a custom stereo install in the Dodge. It will be designed for SPL contest. I could not think of a better place to post the project than here.

The products I am mainly using are Soundstream for the core build. I am going to replacing the whole entire audio system. It will consist of 3 15's behind the seat, the center seat removed and a center console/amp rack installed in its place. Replacing the doors speakers with 6.5 components.

Now here comes the complete list and pictures of everything I have.

Have you upgraded you power wiring, not just tto the amp. Use a 4awg or a 1/0 cable from the Alt to the Bat. +, from the Bat - to the body (not a fender), from the Bat - to the Alt motor mount. These 3 upgrades will almost eliminate any need for a cap on smaller systems. I will be doing this to mine as well as running a 10 Farad cap. I know I will be pulling quite a bit of juice.......
