"Dont's" of car audio

[mrrairai]

DO NOT LET OTHERS TELL YOU IT CANT BE DONE... :01nocomment8so:

Most definitely!!

[Torres]

Dont use a sealed box and expect high out put

you havent seen assmans van then

[sayhuh?]

do not hook up just one coil of a DVC sub

do not expect stock electrical to keep up with amps above 1k wrms

learn the lingo

Explain to me why you cannot do this? As long as you aren't putting 500 watts rms to a 500 watts rms sub that is DVC then whats the problem? 200-250 RMS to one coil? You saying you can't do this?

You will get more voltage drop if u add a cap, so don't waste money on a cap.

Not necassarily. A cap will smooth out the voltage ripples and such.

Use a cap if you got a powerful enough electrical charging system.

[Watch the bass]

Don't let the Magic Smoke out! LOL

That means smoke pot only in closed cars

[Leon]

Because it gives us bassheads a bad name, however if there is some kid with his 2 Sony Xplods, with the volume maxed out playing some distorted ass Lil Wayne song, I will have no problem putting him in his place.

lmao I'm mad I run into kids like that all the time

[Gotloud555]

Don't put connect the negative and positive together

Don't mix different sub into one box

Don't mix different mono amp to power one sub

etc..........

[loburbon]

Dont go midget tossing with your subs full blast, it messed up your concentration

[Sniper]

Dont automatically assume you know everything

Dont try using power wire from one install in a different car (Its always best to start out with fresh stuff so you have the right length!)

Dont use a box built for woofer A for Woofer B (its always best to start out with a fresh box built for that woofer, that way it will sound better, because woofer A could sound extremely loud in the box, whereas Woofer B could seem like a bigger woofer but barely bump in the box.) <didnt mean like bigger in diameter>

Dont use LEGACY/PYRAMID/PYLE!

Dont think you can get a very high end sub/amp for a very low cost, You pay for quality when it comes to audio!

Dont think just because one guys doing it that it automatically makes it ok, get more than one point in before you do something (much like how I ask about equipment before I buy it!!)

Dont bump in YOUR neighborhood! (I know everyone on here can agree with me on that!)

Dont bump in a parking lot if you plan on going in a store! (Like the above post but more likely to happen)

Dont show your shit off at school, thats how stuff disapeers (my friend dan got a radio without a faceplate stolen out of his car, now he takes the whole HU out when he goes in and just leaves it in his locker, lol)

Dont make the same mistakes I did! (like, everything above, but hey this proves one very crucial thing, you learn as you go, and I know EVERYBODY on here including Meade will agree with that!)

Don't purchase Pups unless experienced

thats rule number one

Because it gives us bassheads a bad name, however if there is some kid with his 2 Sony Xplods, with the volume maxed out playing some distorted ass Lil Wayne song, I will have no problem putting him in his place.

YEUPP!

Also what you put in is what you get out, so don't expect to put in a little and get alot out(I've learned this with my first system)
