  1. 200 installed or just 200 for the alarm.... viper 5901 is about 200~or autopage rs -730 is about 130~. Viper 5901 has a crappy built-in shock sensor. You literally have to knock the crappy out of the car to get a prewarn with it turned all the way up.

    I have the same experience with the 5901 I have it at its most sensative settings and still have to hit it hard in order for the prewarn to go on. I don't know if my car (BMW) is the reason for that. Will be getting all the extras for the 5901 soon thou

  2. itll work fine. the multimeter i've been using for years costs $1.50 online last time i checked. only thing to watch out for is when measuring the resistance of a speaker, touch the dmm leads to each other and see what number comes up on the meter. if its anything but 0, you will have to subtract that number from the number you get when you measure the woofers. example, multimeter reads .5 ohms when touching together. sub reads 1.5 ohms. subtract .5 because of the multimeters internal resistance. sub actually is 1 ohm.

    haha damn cant beat $1.50! That helps out ALOT thanks! :good: i might go buy it later on but ill see if i can find a even cheaper one now lol

  3. As far as the killing your battery thing goes... That is in regards to you running an AGM in the back and your stock up front. Regular old batteries sit around 12.4-12.6 volts as to where AGMs sit around 12.9+ which means that your AGM will be constantly trying to equal out the other battery, but it can't.

    Glad SOMEONE knew what I was talking about. It's not mandatory but it helps

  4. Ok so this is my first ever build. I put my all into it. Every single thing in this car i made or installed and alot of it was thanks to the help in this forum so i want to thank all of you first of all who helped me :good:

  5. 12awg will be a lot harder to get through the door boots. i would just go with 16awg. i think i use 16 and 14. even have 18awg for my tweeters. i would rather get the correct size and be able to run it than spend more money for overkill (shit you wont use) and have a bitch of a time running the wire through a boot. but its up to you.

    Ok ya ill use 14 or 16 then. I dont want to make it any harder than its already gonna be for me lol
