[QUOTE="JLJunkieMX107, post: 8647250, member: 577425"] Just ordered the black carpet to finish the box. I hate using screws on enclosures but I didn't have big enough clamps for this one. Seeing those screw holes and shiny screwheads is putting my OCD into overdrive so I can't wait to get this thing covered. Also, going to use my 3D printer to make some kick@$$ badges for the front of the box. My one gripe about the amp (APMI-2000) is that the external fuse they sent is a piece of $h!t. The manual recommends running 0 to 2 gauge wire for this amp, makes sense for the amount of current it pulls. However, the fuse they send with the amp is only big enough to accept 4 gauge wire. Shame on me for not double checking this before getting balls deep into the install. I reached out to Install Gear yesterday afternoon and ordered a 150A 0 gauge fuse/holder. Didn't expect it until Tuesday but it showed up at my door this morning around 10AM woohoo! I can get this finished up. Anyways, here are some pics just because it's a rainy Saturday morning and I am bored Specs from the manual [IMG]http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj530/splconcepts/Mobile%20Uploads/20180609_121225_zps6t3bxcwg.jpg[/IMG] "New" fuse I got today on the top, audiopipe on the bottom (came with the amp) [IMG]http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj530/splconcepts/Mobile%20Uploads/20180609_121440_zpscgnshej9.jpg[/IMG] Why would you send a 4 gauge fuse with this amp?
