Alright I finally settled on my system components, now I'm workingon choosing the install materials and planning the install itself. Any help would be appreciated.

Equipment:

Rainbow Germaniums CS265.25
Rainbow Sound Line SL 5x7
Image Dynamics IDQ d4 v.2 10"
DLS Reference RA50 60x4/220x2 + 365x1 mono ch.
Q-Logic enclosure

So far I've chosen the following. Please let me know If I'm forgetting something.

KnuKonceptz KOL-AK44 amp kit (20' 4ga. power, 3' 4ga. ground, miniANL 120A fuse, 5m RCA cable, 2-4ga. ring terminals, 2-4ga. spade terminals)

Knu Karma 12ga. speaker wire (not sure how much yet) or Knu 12 ga. Bi-Wire speaker wire for bi-amping.

Knu 16 ga. wire for remote turn on.

Knu battery terminals

RCA cables? not sure what I need to hookup to the factory HU?

Elemental Designs eDead. Not sure if I should do 1 layer of UE, 2 layers of v1SE or just 1 layer of the v1SE.

Need some 1/4" MDF to make speaker baffles and amp mounting point

Any suggestions on a spray sealant I can use on the inside of the q-logic to be sure it is sealed?

What kinds of terminals will I need?

I'm planning on mounting the Germ xovers on the back of the cab wall with the amp any negatives with this setup?

Sorry for long post but I tried to make it organized

 

if you are using the stock HU, you will need a LOC (line out converter). you can find them for like 5-10 bucks on the internet just search around. you will wire this thing to your speaker wires and it provides RCA inputs so you can send signal to your amplifier.

that system will be super sweet when your done!

 

Not sure how much the KnuKonceptz stuff is running you but you could always just go to a local car audio shop and buy wire by the foot would probably be cheaper in the long run anyways.

I have always prefered to put a circuit breaker under the hood by the battery rather than a fuse holder. Looks cooler and will never have you out hunting for a fuse. It works better for me as I am always switching amps in and out ect so I can just hit the button to trip the breaker, do what I need to do, then reset it when I am done.

If you go back and read through your kit it comes with speaker wire and RCA's no real sense in buying it in kit form if you are going to buy replacements for what is already in there.

If you mount the Xovers in the back then I would suggest their bi-wire as you will have two leads going from each xover to the doors.

To hook an amp up to your factory stereo you will need one of these:

You can find them at almost any box store including Wal Mart. Run your factory wires to it and the RCA's from it to the amp.

Not sure about the sound deadening but with 1 10 and only 60x4 to the highs I would think 1 layer would do, I usually put a patch inside the door directly behind the speaker and on the skin of the door extending about 8" away from the speaker and call it a day.

To mount the amp and x-overs to the back wall I would use 1/4" mdf. Pull the factory carpeted panel off, liquid nail the MDF panel to the back cab wall(keeps from screwing holes into it) the put the factory carpet piece back on and screw the amps through the factory carpet into the MDF.

As for the Q-Logic it should be pretty well sealed. There really is nothing you can buy that will get you into all of the nooks and crannys in the box so I would just hook it up turn it up and listen for any air to hiss out, if it does address that spot or call Q-Logic for a replacement.

 

Me=to lazy to read the other post, Ill probably be repeating what they said but Ill throw in my 2 cents.....
