I remember seeing "ground upgrade kits" on ebay, but it's just as easy and a lot less expensive to DIY. Plus, the overall look will be neater since the cables will be cut to the proper length.

one uses the tsunami cable and the other uses the eD "enetic" cable. one is 4500 strand and the other is 5000 strand. both are good wire. Call them up though, i know they have silver just not blue.

Blue/Silver is eNETIC 1/0 AWG.
Price difference comes from the fact that Tsunami wire is insanely expensive but since we don't make a red/black wire, we list that one as the Tsunami wire.
Overall decent info and a good post.

do i understand this correctly
I'm trying to see if i understand the reason for using an amp with a high pass filter with components. The purpose is so that when the signal is sent from the HU to the amp, the high pass on the amp will remove 80Hz and lower from the signal running to the crossover. Then from the crossover it will split the 80Hz and above into two levels, higher Hz for the tweeter and lower Hz(above 80Hz) for the woofer. Then a sub is to cover the range below 80 Hz.
Would this be an ideal setup for the stock 08 system? I only ask because i know the sub doesn't really thump, and therefore i feel you should send all frequencies to the crossover so the front woofers will help with the bass.

i dont think you're going to be able to change the stock system's setup. and even if you could get more low frequencies to the front speakers it wouldn't necessarily help. in fact it might (and probably would) prevent you from reaching the volume you'd like.

Hey whats the best way to run the wires for a dual amp system. I have a 4-ch, a mono, and a capacitor. do i just use the capacitor for one amp or is there a way to use it for both amps. Cause i thought the Cap has to come after the distribution/fuse block to split the power to each amp. Please help i want to do this right.

Too bad Robyn left, she was such a great help to so many people here, but at least there's lots of solid info people can use as a reference.

So can someone tell me where the 3rd point of the "big 3" is on the tC? I can figure out alternator to positive battery and battery to chassis for ground... but where the hell is the engine to chassis ground? Or do I just make one up?
