for my subs im gonna be running something like 2400 watts, and i am doing a self install.

I was going to drop on 1/0 gauge wires, does this require any special wiring, or will it fit in the same spaces as a 4 gauge wire?

also, should i get a completely seperate second battery with isolator, or just replace my stock battery with an optima?

final thing: can store bought boxes handle the audiobahn awq series version 8 flame subs, or are they too powerful. If i were to make my own box, how can i pull off the astroboy look?

Thanks

That is a lot of power, be prepared for rattle. I have 1000 watts and i don't even turn it up all the way. One ime i did and i could feel the car struggling to stay in one piece. Good luck with that.

Arent you kinda overdoing it if thats your daily driver. I have 600 watts goin to my woofer and 350 to my highs and mids and its painful for me.

You probably need a distributor block to convert the power wire from 1/0 gauge to 4 gauge so you can fit the power wire in the amp. Other than that get a farad or 2. Your lights are going to be diming like crazy with 2400 watts, unless you get the optima.
3/4 inch MDF if you are going to build a box.

I have 1/0 guage wiring going in my car. I have one optima up front under the hood, with another optima in the trunk with an isolator. I'm running just shy of 3000watts, so we're in the same ballpark. I have the 1/o going to a distribution block in the rear that breaks off into 4 guage for the amps. I have yet to get everything up and running, but from what I'm told, my setup should work out okay. My only concern is I may have to upgrade my alternator. Good Luck.

PS, if you want an install like astroboy's, you better start saving...$20,000 will get you started.

20g's for astrosboys stuff insnt that bad, THe damn alpine stuff he has cost at least 10g's then his woofers and amps andither shitz. Its easy to spend wellover 30k on a badazz audio setup.
