Hello all, my name is Brandon, some call me "bmassy". Currently living in Rhode Island and do quite a bit of driving for work, I have a family owned 07 Volvo XC70 that I took ownership at around 115,000 miles. This wagon is my daily driver. Here I begin my journey..
My first task is to change out the oem audio system. I have always been into the car audio scene. My previous vehicles have had a car audio build (speakers, head unit, amps, sub, batteries etc). I'm looking to start doing the big 3 upgrade on my Volvo and wondering if anyone knows best place to feed my alternator 0/1 gauge wire (I will be ordering soon) and engine block 0/1 gauge ground wire to my battery in the trunk? I have 2 xs power batteries that I will be installing (d3400 and d5100R, hope it fits or I'll make it fit).
My audio plan:
My ultimate goal is: extremely clear and detailed sound with a lot of low end extension. Like a sound quality loud build. I do plan on strapping 2 CT AT1400.1 amps together and running 2 Sundown X-15s on about 3000wrms (down the road)

My audio plan:
- I currently have Focal PS165F components in the front doors
- plan to buy Focal PC165 coax for rear doors
- disconnect C pillar speakers (or is it D pillar for where the hatch is?)
- I have a Dayton Audio DSP-408
- I have a CT Sounds 75.4 channel amp (may run front speakers active and see how it sounds first)
- I have a CT Sounds AT1400.1 monoblock
- I have a Sundown X-15v1
- I need to buy some fusing
- I plan on using Audioquest Golden Gate 2' RCA-RCA for all my amps to my DSP
- plan on using Audioquest wire from amp to factory wiring harness behind radio
- I will be doing a grayish laminate hardwood floor in the trunk
- build a new sub enclosure for the X15 and possibly use wood veneer to look fancy
- Build an amp rack out of same material used for flooring
- need to get sound deadener for doors
