Dub7Banger Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 If it was your sub smoking, you were pushing it to hard. What makes you say that? Last time I checked, Smoke coming out of stuff looks cool. Smoke coming out of a sub woofer = Extra cool. maybe your sub has a bad habit... give it a patch and eventually itll stop smoking Lol, that's good stuff. Quote Warning, you are taking advice from a noob with 0 install experience at this point, any advice I give is strictly based on information gathered via the intrawebz and lots of forum surfing over a period of 2 months If you are considering buying a DC Level 5, do it. Don't think about it, just do it. It'll work. go to lowes get bricks wait in yard. throw said brick at vehicle. If thats me and that just happened to me Im going looking for him after that. 1. Goto lowes 2. Get some bricks 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!! Profit from everything. LOVE ideas like this. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
