Hopefully we will have them up and working tomorrow. We finally got the amplifiers installed and working correctly, but had a few issues running them linked. Apparently the terminals on the sub are marked backwards and + is really -. When we hooked up the amps linked they didn't seem to output sound. As soon as we unhooked the RCA from the linked amp, the primary played fine. We rewired the amps to strap them instead and we were fine. Everything worked ok. We threw the DD1+ on them and I set the gains to a +10db overlap. The deck seemed to clip at 22 out of 40!

We played a few songs with the stock mids just to see how it sounded and we were pretty happy. We think we are in the 146-147 range but didn't have a termlab available to test.

We have to clean up some of the wiring and do some finishing work still on the back, but you can see it all coming together.
