    Man what a day, started at 9am and finished a little after 11pm. I took my time on the electrical stuff, I didnt want to ruin any of my amps or stuff. But I think it came out quite well. Kevin stopped by for a little to help with the initial stuff and then had to leave on account his father was admitted to the hosiptal.

    Anyways I think it came out quite well. Unfortuately on one of my ground 4ga cables I had to use a red power one cause I didnt have sufficent length of silver cable to complete the job, so it worked in a pinch. I just wanted everything color coordinated.

    The SoundStream PowerPlant is a neat unit, I ran my 1/0ga wire from the batter to the unit. And it has 4 80amp fuses on it, my Power Distribution Block is a Kanutz Concepts 3 fused relay, it holds 3 40amp fuses as the main breaking point in the power chain. The design is suppose to allow for better and more equal current to pass through the line. And then PowerPlant just distributes the power evenly across all amps. Plus its 80amp fuses act as a backup incase something bad happens.

    I have now two Kenwood Amps, KAC-X4C and the X1R. The X1R, the bass amp, is running at 2ohms for 1,200 watts between my two Power Acountics, which splits even around 600rms each sub, and then X4C is pushing 75watts x4 at 4ohms.

    Enough jabbering...........Here are some of the pictures I took during the installation.

    Tore out the chair and the carpet to lay the new Monster Performance RCA cables, I love those things!!
