I just want people to start questioning what these "professionals" are telling you. Because they typically aren't all that professional. Go ask those installers what they think of infinite baffle installations. They won't know what you're talking about. Ask them about isobaric enclosures and their purpose. They don't know. Bring up Aperiodic enclosures...comb filtering...time alingement/phase change...blah blah blah

Most of these people are just copying something else they saw.

I'm not mad at anybody, just tired of misinformation. I think big 3, h.o. alts, wiring, extra batteries(typically used for spl burps n' such since engine is off) and caps are just plane stupid in majority of all cases.

Good grounds are HIGHLY under rated. Especially the choice for grounding locations.
Alright, my audioshop has deffinetly used isobaric loading in a few subwoofer boxes i have had the chance to listen to. They didnt have a very wide tuning band though. As for the rest of that the phase change is the only other thing they have mentioned to me. So your probably right. The owner of the shop who will be the one who finishes the design on my sub box has been building audio systems over 25 years and has quite a few medals in db drag. Plus he owns a grand prix some im assuming he will know best for what its best frequency responses are

As for the big three im doing it mostly for the ground wiring but i figured since im redoing the ground why not redo the power.

For the battery i just dont want it to die on me if i dont run it off the engine.

One question i really want to know though since you know the more than most do. What are the best ground placements in the trunk and under the hood? Ill need to run the ground for the second battery in the trunk and from there i dont know whether to run grounds from each amp to the battery or grounds from the amps to the trunk. And when i reground up front should i use the stock ground placements? or are there better ones
