If it was a harness like I use in most of my vehicles it would be pretty quick. 12v constant, 12v switched, Ground, Remote. Done

Sweet amps yo! It's really difficult to tell by the pics, but the heatsink fins are HUGE! I put my MC500 on the Dyno last year:

this showed up in my feed just a few minutes ago. Thought i would share it. I personally use my own tools to set gains so i don't know anything good or bad about RF's "CLEAN" built in gain settings. It is pretty cool to see the DD-1 Distortion Detector side by side in real time just to see how it compares. I also like how he made a few marks on the amp where the DD-1 says stop and the other one says stop. This is not a vs. as in some sort of a competition between the two. They both clearly have their place in the car audio world. One is good for setting itself, the other can set almost any other amp so it is not a battle but a comparison. See how they do!

Yup, cutting all wires even length, stipping wires even lengthis, cutting even length adhesive lined heat shrink, soldering the wires, wrapping in techflex or tesa tap. Bestbuy installers crimp caps and butt connectors and call it good to go.....

the people who would win a harness challenge would be the guyus who work at best buy and have to fly through stereos to make commission, a custom installer is always going to be slower at certain things. On the flip side the best buy guy cant build a box.

a good friend of mine called me up yesterday and said he had 2 Soundstream MC500's for sale and would hook me up proper. Of course i said yes and to bring them by. Back in 1989, i JUST graduated High School, my parents moved away and i didn't have but a wooden nickel to my name. I couldn't even come close to something of this caliber at that time. Anyway, when he told me he really needed the money i figured it was my duty to make him an offer he couldn't refuse and try to take both of them . I couldn't help it, as soon as i saw them i knew i had to at least try. He took my offer and they are both mine. No, i am not sure what i am going to do with them just yet. I will open them up, show the guts and run them on the dyno at some point i know that! It would be fun to do an oldschool SQ build with all vintage Soundstream amps some day. But just having them in my collection feels so nice More pics and some vids coming soon! Serial #25XX (i forgot to take a pic) and Serial #31XX (also forgot to take a pic). Ill have more updates to this post as i pull them apart and look at the guts

please don't confuse "chicken" with "no time" or "don't give a fuck". LOL. I got better things to do. I don't even know what that "challenge" is since i never gave it 30 seconds of my time to find out.
