what mistakes did you guys make when you installed your first system???

[Rgjr702]

Face subs forward instead of back. Bridged every set of subs no matter wat ohm (didn't know what it was) lol used a cheap ken wood 4 chan amp on 2 alpine type s in a prefab box haha

Walmart wires, that was my mistake.

I should had researched more before buying the wires.

I was just too excited to hook it up.

[revoracing247]

I wired my subs out of phase with each other.

Buying a pre-fab box cheap no name amp and using cheap 4 gauge amp kit, and thinking the gain was a volume level.

[HowLowCanYouGo]

Ghetto wiring, prefabs, 4 12s in 2 prefabs (one sealed one ported) on an eclipse amp...in the trunk... mixing different brand subs in the same build, stock head-decks, not upgrading stock component and door speakers, to small of wiring, not securing the box in the trunk. Not doing proper research

Wiring out of phase

Cheaper is better

Buying a scion tC and trying to be 150 daily on 2 12's. fugger peaks at 52hz

[slamingsuburban]

thinking hey the remote on the amp only needs 12 volts lets run a jumper from the power wire to it, come out in the morning and wonder why my batt is dead

Haha, my one buddy from work kept wondering why his deck was resetting every time he shut his truck off, whoever wired his deck flipped the battery wire and the remote wire

On some cars the wire diagrams are wrong about which wire is which when it comes to those 2. I know for sure the first gen ford focus had that issue through out the years.
