Not sure if anyone has already mentioned it, but I think that putting your Taramp amp in front of your port hole would maybe be more beneficial because as the air comes out it can also cool down your amp.

When im using a jumper wire I cut the ends shorter, and run one end of the wire too the back of the terminal, kind of a pain sometimes, and the other too the front of the terminal lead instead of trying too twist the wire together and cram them into one side of the leads, some subs are easier than others too do this but it’s cleaner and you have better connections and less resistance, love seeing the progress!!!!!👍

I'd say build a amp rack that way the possibilities for fans and more amps in the future if you decide to change up your build 1500 times later down the road like we all do.lol but in the mean time I personally like it under the port that way that 12k has plenty of airspace to breathe, it's out of the way and it's easy to access. I have just a Taramps 3k and it has a built-in fan that works really well but it still gets hot af. Love what your doing man love the budget builds you do for people that don't have 10k to drop on a competition build. For the bass heads on a budget 😂 Awesome man!!!

@christophervtec762 4 жыл бұрын

Very clean setup 👌 but you should just make a amp rack along the left side over the cup holders. I would definitely cut the curve out under the hole by the cup holders, cover it all -along the inner quarter panel with half inch wood. Also leaves you room for batteries the peace would be 2' / 3' length 10" / 12" height with a 90 degree at the top contouring the the angle where the cup holders are all the way to the back 👍

Great video, and an amazing system you have going there. ☺ The issue with mounting an amp to the box is not from the box moving. It is when the subs vibrate the box, it can shake the resistors inside the amp loose. So it adds extra ware to the amp.

@therobb5738 4 жыл бұрын

Your second run of wire, there... If the 2 join at the fuse block before the individual fuses split off, could you run the unhooked one to your alternator instead of running one from the alt straight to the battery? Just curious of your thoughts on that. Its not something I'd go out of my way to do, but if you just so happened to have it already set up like that, would it work ok?

@ParkerTheBasshead 4 жыл бұрын

Yes you certainly could. I don’t think it would really be a benefit tho

@stormyyoung6344 4 жыл бұрын

Build a battery cover and mount it on top of the batteries. Horizontal position puts less stress on internal components when you hit bumps and have vibration and those cap just have little wire legs holding them on but probably only matters in the rilly long term life I had 2 alpine amps one vertical and one horizontal the vertical one lasted 8years horizontal one still going 15 years later.

@bubbawubba2307 4 жыл бұрын

I would build an L shaped bracket out of wood on the side of your wood floor. The bottom of the L is screwed to the wood and the amp mounted to the vertical side. You can mount it to the side or the front. Of course have to secure the wood so it doesn't move around. Could make a 45 degree bracket up front or a 70 degree mounting pad. Just whatever you wanted to make it out of. But I def would not mount it to the box. Vibration is one thing that kills those Taramps but you will have to take the amp on and off when your changing boxes out doing tests. and that will suck.

For real, I would be very interested in buying these 2 subs, or any number of others. Or even a reasonably priced raffle would be cool. I had Soo much stuff I had aquired when I was doing installs and selling different amps speakers and boxes it was rediculous. Now I'm down to just 2 amps, some 4 and 0 gauge wire and an old fosgate sub that feels blown in a medium size sealed box. I Soo need to find a decent used sub and box and some good 6x9's to add to the mids and highs.. God willing I can get there REALLY SOON cause I am having Bass withdrawals since selling my Xterra with the system in it for a buddy of mine.. all setup sweet, 0 gauge running to the 1k CCA marine battery in the back next to the amps with a breaker next to the other 1k CCA battery under the hood, plus big 3+ done with perfect clean ground's and crimped and soldered terminals at every point etc.. damn I miss that system, but least I know I'll have something way better by tax time, or if I can sell some of the high performance outboard motor boat engine stuff I have in stock..

Considering how sturdy that box is plus you have it screwed down I would say that there's barley any vibration definitely not enough to hurt the amp if it was mounted on the side and you said you would put feet on it to reduce vibration with that there should be no vibration. So with that being said I think on the side of the box is fine.
