The box is that size because it is tuned to a certain frequency with the port size and it needs to be that big to sound right.



Keegan if you could post those pictures in here that would be great, I've been thinking of how I'm going to mount it so any outside ideas would be great!

Why the 0 gauge?! Obvious overkill is obvious!

Very clean install. That 0 gauge is crazy haha. I'm running a pair of kicker 12s rated for 1000watt each at 2ohm and I'm only using a 300watt multichannel amp powering it lol. I can't seem to find a good deal on a good amp. Still pounds pretty well. I used rubber faucet pieces for my license plates. No rattle at all.

0 gauge isnt overkill if you ask me. i ran 2 gauge when i had my 1501D mtx amp going to my mtx 9500 15" and i wish i had 0 gauge.

1000 watt amp is roughly 160 amps... a 4g wire is rated at 150amp or even a 2g wire at 225amps. A 0g is rated around 350amps which is more than 2x the Amplifier can pull... Hence why I said overkill. But as long as it sounds good

0 awg is overkill for this amp but I plan on upgrading my amp sometime in the near future so the 0 awg will be useful.

4 awg with a good capacitor is good enough for almost any set up

I cant resize my pictures, so I just put them up here. I used 3 feet of fencing material, and got a screw through the fencing, through the rear tie down, and into my box. Did this on each side and one in the middle just for security. an added bonus is you can still raise the box and get the spare tire. also showed the screw size and my crappy amp. If you need, I can take more
