Default need help/opinions with system

i am in desperate need of feedback on my crappy system. the 10's i have dont bump as hard as i want them to (they hardly bump more than a single 10), i've been blowing fuses left and right lately, and it just overall sucks. please give me hints on fixing this crappy system i am getting my new head unit tomorrow so just tell me if i need to get better wires/box/amp or whatever here's the link, just click the system folder

first... i would wire the subs differently...but dont do this till you post more detailed specs of the components.

that is a 2ch amp. i think youll be better off by wiring that sub in parallel, then bridging the amp.

wire the sub like this:
there are 2 voice coils on that sub. wire the + with the other +, do the same for the -. then take one + and one - from the sub and bridge it to the amp. the writing on the amp tells you how.

but post specs of the amp first.

and your wiring is really messy. clean it up. =)

what type of box is that? bandpass? i dont think the RF belong in there.....they go in sealed or ported boxes.

a new box will cost $30 plus your labor...if you already have the tools, which any man would. are you a man? =P

.75" MDF
bag of drywall screws
caulk

something to cut straight lines in the wood- table or circular saw
something to cut the speaker hole- jigsaw
something to put the wood together-drill

specs for box- www.rockfordfosgate.com
specs for the size of box- your math skills.
