The "Big 3" incorporates 0/1 gauge wire. I'd recomend you grab a 0/1 kit off ebay.
Those tender little burgers with them little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in ya mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one.. just makes me want to burn this muthafuka down.... Come on, Pookie, let's burn this muthafuka down!!!

What kind of Expanding foam you use? They have The Great Stuff, Dap, Mono and their own brand of expanding foam at my hardware stores.

I think I might get the Dap foam for my trunk lid. It says its minimal expansion. Unlike the other double expansion foams. And its water based I heard and comes off your hands easier then the others.

Its called DAP® KWIK FOAM® Polyurethane Insulating Sealant.

My rcas started that sound again and everytime it does it the one pair of rcas get hot. I touched them and the rcas were pretty warm. Then a little after that the deck turned off. When the deck and car wasn't even on the remote line was still had the amps turned on. Then smoke started coming from the deck area. The other pair of rcas weren't warm or anything though. Now the deck doesn't even turn on. What happened?

Yeah I put it into a shop here though to see if its alright and if they fix it. I didn't touch any of the wires by the deck at all. I only moved rcas around to put the subs forward. And thats it.

It can't smell any worse than the curing fiberglass resin I used on my subbox it took 3 weeks at least to get rid of that smell probably not real good for either luckily its not a daily driver.
