imfrom210texas Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 i used a bolt that holds down the backseat in my girlfriends car.. worked great, no interference whatsoever from the amp If Morgan Freeman narrated a story on how great AIDS is, I would be captivated and tempted to contract it myself. His voice just fills my soul with warm fuzzies and puppy tears. He has NO idea and may have a touch of autism to be honest. Is this guy real or is he joking? i actually mistook him for a lesbian in that demo video Wanted to mess around with a box for the garage. Was thinking 4 6x9 in 4 cube at like 30 hz... These are the things that make me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

certifiednut Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 somewhere i remember seeing a sweet ground lug with 3 smaller holes for using 3 self tapping screws. these orphans aren't going to feast on themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundstream15 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 use self tapping screws with star lock washers, they do not come loose at all, i made my ground under my rear seat by the seat belt bolt. if you just use a washer they will come loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
