Crump Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Says resistant up to 1,200 degrees, constant, so if your engine gets that hot at all, then im guessing its time for a new car (or maybe you didnt see the other link) http://techflex.com/prod_FGN.asp Quote Team gg Team doa Installs I have doneMy 2010 Rebuild 144 db so far....2 DC xl 10s Firing into cabin on a RF 25002 12" AQ HD's powered by a Saz 2k + Lots o Mids+Highs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
