Hey who actually work at work huh? I hope it sounds as expected too.

So far cost me about $800, I still have to get the subs, the new rear and center speaker and material (MDF board, plexi and stuffs for the bandpass box and false floor). I would say about $1000 for the whole thing

Looks good. I would recheck your fusing. Each amp should have it's own fuse in addition to the fuse at the battery. Maybe lower the 30A down to give more protection to the lights, fans, etc or put in a cheap ATC fuse/holder in front of each accessories too. 1000 dollars? Have you order cabling yet?

Thanks Brewboy ..... I was thinking the same about the fuses in front of the 2 amps, but I read the capacitor manual many times to make sure and this is exactly what they say "No fuses should be installed in the wire between the power capacitor and the amplifier system, but make sure that there is an appropriate fuse at the battery in the main supply cable"

So do you think i should still put 2 infront of the amp? Would it blow the fuse everytime the cap discharge?

RON ... CAN YOU HELP ON THIS ????????

30A is too much huh? how about 15A Fuse block and a 2-5Amp fuse infront of each light and fan?

Yea ... I already got the 4Gauge cabling kit :-D Thanks for reminding me

I don't know about the cap wiring, Ron should know.
Also, should reverse terminal 30 and 87 in case you need the N.C. contact later, but not required. Might want to think about installing another bosch relay to trigger your neons from the trunk light instead of ignition. No sense in wasting buld life when you trunk closed unless your armrest is down and you want the glow.


CDT's to be installed this weekend. Just got my Lunar amp last night.

I got really good deal most of those stuffs,

I haven't buy the speakers yet, but I'm thinking JL Subs and Alpine rear/center speaker , What's ya all recommendation? I can' pop out a few extra bucks if needed.

The amps for the sub is the MA Audio HC1002 and the amp power other speaker is the 6 channel Sherwood with the DTS/surround sound decoder.

Right now, the 2 neon light and fan trigger when the radio is on and the remote wire trigger the relay. I already have the 4 neon installed by Ron so that theyonly turn on when the trunk open, probably i will tap into those wire instead .....

See, what can i do without this forum .....
