New Subwoofer Amp Installed

After the console was built/installed, I decided to swap out the bass amp. My old a/d/s P2110 doesn't run extremely well at 2 ohm bridged, and with the subs in series, it limits power too much on the amp, reducing headroom. So I got a Phoenix Gold T500.2, which is just a little more powerful, but most importantly stable at 2 ohms bridged. In the process, I needed upgraded cabling for the additional current draw (used 4 gauge), and also added a 1 farad monitor cap to even out the power supply. It's up to par now.

Can't see the capacitor unless the seat is pushed all the way forward.  Nice and stealth, the way I like it!

Peril of the mod-life.  Carelessness early morning on little sleep results in getting 5 sutures in the finger due to one slip.
