The one that gives you the mpg's.

oh lol, of course it's the one that I literally was not expecting at all

It's called "Fuelly" on iPhone, and "aCar" on android

very easy to use, just enter stuff each time you fill up and it does the rest

so my builder finished the box a lot quicker than I expected! I ran over to detroit to get it, and then had to recone a subwoofer that I blew previously

my 3 15 box was:

48" wide x 23.25" tall x 35" deep

my new box is:

49" wide x 23.25" tall x 36" deep

surprisingly, the 1" wider made a helluva time getting the battery box in

it pushed the box over enough that I could not load the battery in without rubbing my window. big no no - especially because I know tint rubs off easily

ended up having to cut off a portion of the box as seen, and then tilt the battery in and go for it

of course, in typical fashion - it was already dark by the time I finished the job

have the subwoofers wired @ 2 ohms currently, but plan to eventualy drop to 0.5 ohms once I break in the reconed sub a little bit

first impressions are that this system is great. plays quite a bit lower, and seems to be comparably loud even on "low" power

Gotta love the tight fitment of keeping everything in the cargo area and no wall I feel your pain lol.

whelp went and tested them today and my scores were a lot lower than expected, even though power was decent for wiring @ 2 ohms

after I did all my metering, I was playing around on music and was like "dang, something doesn't look right".

the passenger side front sub didn't look to be moving at all

after some consulting on facebook, I went and pulled the sub and learned that one of my coils was improperly marked

so hopefully I'll see some decent gains tomorrow

That should make a significant difference..!

 

[Galandorian]

after swapping the sub wiring around, and still being wired @ 2 ohms, I gained about 1.5dB

then I decided screw it, and wired the amp to 0.5, and the setup finally really came alive

Impressive.
