Looks alright but you should work on getting out the wrinkles and imperfections on the sub box covering. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to **** like that but hey just letting you know. How does it sound?

**** yeah. A hair dryer and a j-roller would probably fix the wrinkles on that box.

looks good, How do you like the t-top slots on that box? I've always wondered if it actually holds them secure and everything...

He's using a Kicker amp, 06zx750.1, 750 W amp rating. the amp's birth sheet is probably stating somewhere around 920 - 940 at 2 ohms with 14.4V power supply.

I would like to know if those two fat power and negative wires go directly to the battery or to a capacitor?

My capacitor (voltage regulator) went bad. Took the 12v and made it into 8v which made the amp not power up.. I am thinking of just directly hooking the power and neg. leads directly to the battery..

You don't get power drain at idle when the volume is blasting? In other words your electric current is always steady going to your 1000w amps when the car is running?

Impressive... Strong alternator indeed if that' case...

NOT AT ALL
I can dim (and by dim i mean cut off completely) my headlights and dash on hard hits while driving at 2000rpm. I will be upgrading the big 3 when I tear into my engine as well at a 210A alternator that I already have as well at a BIG capacitor

That's good to know..I will do a direct feed from my 800w amp to my battery and test the stock Lexus alternator.. It powers a 4.0 V8 motor so it's gotta have some juice to it also..

Thanks for the reply..

I like your box, and you can't go wrong with Kicker subs.

And if you want to take the tops off, do you just leave em at the pad? I really like the lettering under the fabric, looks siiiiiick
