BluX Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 What are some mistakes you have made in the past, and learned from? One of mine is I was screwing my brand new speaker that I got when I was 16, I slipped and poked a hole into the surround. Another one is that I didn't brace my box for my RE SX 18 and it blew the box apart and blew the speaker. BluX 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Mach 5 MJ-18 (4 Ohm) Alpine MRP-M1000 Alpine 9813

EricM9104 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Back whne I had my old car, had an amp that did 1500w rms @ 1ohm, 600w rms @ 4ohms, sub was a D2. Wired at 4ohms to save the 55a alt. Wired down to 1ohm for shits n giggles and missed some wires, sounded like shit, realized what I had done. Gotta love seeing a car breath.

Skullz Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 I think the biggest mistake people make are hacking up wiring harnesses to install a new h/u and speakers, it just means open wires waiting to short out on something isn't ever a good idea and if you were wanting to reinstall the factory h/u well good luck now. Another mistake we all seem to make is starting too small and having to upgrade in like a month to something larger and more powerful. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2

tackett834 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 No fuse in the power, poor grounds, poor box designs, clipping, hell pretty much all the stuff you are not supposed to do...I have done it. But I have learned from my many mistakes, and take in all the information I can on here.
