Recommended Posts

make sure to separate the rca's from speaker wires and have short clean grounds cuz engine noise is like cancer!

I love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

homemade tweeter savers

a standard car dome light in line with your tweeters positive terminal. It acts like a resistor that changes impedance as it gets hot and starts to glow. When the impedance rises, it causes the amp to put out less power, keeping the tweeter in check. If you push it too hard still, the bulb will pop and NOT the tweeter. Get a new bulb, set your gains better, and you are back in business. click here for an example. http://instagram.com/p/bzLpBJEt1w/

they have these lights in rainbow crossovers.

if you need to run a thin wire through firewall or dash then straighten a metal hanger, then tape the wire to the hanger and run it through that way.

Or buy a grommet tool? hehe
Do you have a link to a good one Ed?

If you have no signal going to remote turn on for the amp, taking a jumper wire from the B+ to the remote in on the amp.

wouldnt the amp always stay on?

Absolutely. I guess he didn't figure that out

If you're putting subs in a buddies sedan and they're too cheap to buy sound damp/padding, stick a balled up sock in there to kill major rear deck rattles!

Also keep a small AAA battery in your bag in case you need to test polarity.

Hey! that sock cut out about 80% of the rattling so don't judge.

Gotta say, I love this thread. Someone should make a top 25 of all the cool little tips, and make it a sticky.

Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?
