alsoooo I recommend we do headers at the same time to counteract the added weight.

Thats a fantastic idea haha
Heres a wiring question though
The amp Im going to buy runs 4ohm at 200RMS and 2ohm at 500RMS, obviously id like to run at the higher power, they make the particular sub im going to buy in either 4ohm DVC or 2ohm DVC. From what i understand you can make the 4ohm DVC present a load of either 2 or 8 ohms and the 2ohm DVC present either 4 or 1 ohm loads... So im wondering how do i wire the 4ohm DVC sub to present a 2 ohm load???

To reach a 2ohm load with a single 12" DVC woofer with (2) 4ohm coils, you would run them in parallel. This is to connect the positive terminals on the woofer together, and the negative terminals on the woofer together, and then also connect the positive and negative to the amp (usually via a terminal cup on the box).

So finally got around to hooking up everything, had Nate (19iroc88) and another friend come over. Everything went quite smooth, hid all the wires (looks profeshh)... went to turn it on and..... nothing. Checked and rechecked wires. I got pwr to the amp, but the sub did nothing. Noted that the LED in the amp had a slight flicker instead of a constant stream. Called some audio techs, explained in full detail and audio jargon, and they seemed like i was talking another language, very disappointed with the "experts".
So long story short, we didn't have a sufficient enough ground (not clean enough metal) so I relocated the wire to a new spot and wallah! BASS! Ill stick a pic up later
