  1. What do you guys use to cover a sharp metal edge?! I need to run my wire through it!

    1. TheNewbie

      TheNewbie

      No, I have groments for those, like through a thin peice of metal. I'm thinking of a small weatherstripping like strip but not sure what its called.. Hope is only about 4-10 gauge depending on the wire

  2. Anybody ever buy a car only to later find out the last owner completely effed up the wiring?..

    1. TheNewbie

      TheNewbie

      Yeah.. Keep an eye out for my build update.. You'll see the meeeeess of wires. Now I only have what's needed in there

  3. Thinking if a decent under the hood battery, XS is just to much for my price range at the moment. Shurkin?

    1. TheNewbie

      TheNewbie

      Yeah but is that going to support 1.6k rms on a 90a alt? I also can't find there 31 battery.. I can ONLY have one battery, no room anywhere else.

  5. Touchy subject, but why is the VVME (mystery subs) so cheap?.. garbage spider? Cooling blows? Small coil? Something more than it's not well made. Cousins gunna get one for laughs.

      Ah, okay so basicly it's not a bad sub, it's just not going to last..

      Because there was alot of people stating how there better than and such, like there the ultimate woofer. I'm not saying that at all i'm just trying to find out what on them makes it so cheap for a 700rms sub.

  8. Honestly.. A trillion dollar coin.. That will solve it all!!

      Yeah, make sure there isn't any holes in your pockets!

  9. Quick question.. do people say it sounds better to run speakers, or subs at higher ohms (2 ohm, 4 om) because it's more efficent?... Basicly meaning it would sound the EXACT same at 1 ohm if they had the voltage to withstand whatever equipt they were using?.. I know it's a tad bit confusing because I myself am being confused haha.

    1. TheNewbie

      TheNewbie

      So then with lower independence, the THD would rise therefore that's why the distortion is higher at lower ohms? Also, the THD is higher at lower ohms because the amps less efficent? Or does the efficency have nothing to do with SQ?

      Completely forgot about THD... Which would explain why at higher ohms its cleaner

      For sure, thanks brotha ;)

  13. Got some free woofers, but I can't find the displacement of a Kicker 10'' Comp.. Anyone know?

  15. 1600 rms.. I dont think my little 90a alt will be able to last long :( H/O in my near future I'm thinking.. Opinions?

    1. TheNewbie

      TheNewbie

      Ill prob just pick up a H/O alt then.. Fudge that's pricey

  16. Gold or Platinum terminal rings?... recommendations?!

    1. TheNewbie

      TheNewbie

      Lol, I already bought the gold anyways.. You guys are slow! Now I need a nice looking volt meter! I'd perfer not to spend a billion dollars either haha :)

  17. What is the cover that goes over the wire inside the engine bay.. I don't think it's heat shrink.. it's to keep the wire from burning up. Gah I feel like a noob.. BRAINFART

    1. TheNewbie

      TheNewbie

      Should I use the 1/2th in order to pull it over the 0 gauge? Imma need one for my 4 gauge as well.
