Disconect the negative on your battery :)

It will save you the shocking moment of something sparking up when you accident short something out.

Learn how to take your door panels apart and memorize where all the screws go. You can always refer to crutchfield.com 's how to take a part your door panel guide for specific vehicles.

unhook the - on your battery when installing amps or other equipment.

make sure your amp ground is on either the strut tower or on the frame itself. metal sanded down enough so that its nice and shiny around where the lug will bolt to the metal.

do the big 3 (guide in the top of the electrical section of the forum)

dont use bass boost

set gains with an oscilloscope or a dd-1

i'm not gonna touch the setting for bass boost on the amp. Is the knob also a bad idea, or is it ok when used minimally?

Triple check all measurements before making any cuts or removing anything anywhere.
