Recommended Posts

crucial in car audio is ground make sure your grounds are good and tight

also take your time on wiring your headunit dont get wires mixed up

be careful and gentle with door panels ( stupid plastic breaks easy on most doors ) take your time dont lose anything( also dont forget to connect door lever common mistake )

rca's on one side power/ground/remote wire on the other side

disconnect your battery ( just do it completely to be safe )

make sure you crimp your headunit wires real good those wire pull out later your going be frustrated. also your ring terminals for your ground and power should be crimped good.

mount your amp and sub box down you dont want them sliding around unhooking and shorting out.

when you run your power wire make sure it through a rubber gourmet them wires eventually overtime can rub the rubber off and short out on body and if there is enough current/power going on it will start a fire.

take your time double check everything if your making your own box measure 3 times cut 1. Just take your time if you need help the whole forum is here for you at anytime.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, debt is the money of slaves. Just my .02c

that shop needs keep those doors open so they have to charge for it

if people think 10k is a lot then they should get into other hobbies.. like masturbating, cause any hobby cost money to maintain

Lol no, I'm smarter than that bro haha. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..............go fuck yourself lol

make sure your ground is not just a self tapping screw, it is a hole with a bolt and nut and star lock washers on both sides... and the ground should be at least a gauge larger than the power wire
