Default 2014 XLT stereo build has begun...

Over the next two weekends i plan on doing the installation of sundown SAZ-1000D, Precision Power P900.4, sundown audio SD-3 10 D4 wired to 1 ohm in a customed box ported tuned to 37. iv'e dotted my I's and crossed my T's and am ready to roll. everything will be hooked up to an Alpine X009-FD2 ....

the amps will go behind my rear benches.

this weekend i plan on running all wires and getting amps in place. depending how that goes the following week will be hooking everything up.

any advice tips or tricks please post em..

Thanks grommet installed. ran the RCA's and speaker wire today everything seemed to go as planned-.

question. as a home theater guy iv'e learned not to spend alot on fancy named cables(monster)but as i was running i started thinking if the same were true for car audio...

these are the RCA's i'm running from the amps into the HU. any problems using these besides not being to pliable.??

Freddyttt, I would take a look at knukoncepts cables. I would rather use something designed for automotive use than trying to use something for home use. Knukoncepts is like the monoprice cables of car audio
