its not really a dilemma, but I'm ripping out my old 4 Ga. power wire(distributed to 2 8 Ga. powers) because kevin sent me an RD1000.1 amp (merry christmas to me!). obviously running 1000 watts continuously on an 8 Ga power wire won't do.

so i was wondering, can I take a 0/1 Ga. power, distribute it to one 4Ga. (going to the RD1000) and one 8Ga.(going to my highs amp), and then have a 4Ga. ground coming from the RD1000.1 and an 8Ga. ground from my highs amp?

i guess what im asking is would my car's electrical be ok if i did this? I already upgraded the Big 3, so im almost + that i'll be fine, just wanted the ok on here first.

still need that box for the cvr 15's?

if so what dimensions do you have to work with and what tuning would you like?

well i would like the tuning to be somewhere around 37?

oh and I'm not putting it in my current car, but in a blazer soon.

so space limitations aren't really a problem because it won't need the entire back end.

but i was thinking of specs... i only went into looking at the kicker specs for the box, and not really building my own....
