Sry to hear that audiobaun. Pets are family and more. Always there when you come home and happy to see you. Always there when you feel like garbage or there to just cheer you up as they know when you are not at your best or if you are hurting physically.
Yeah you always think "This isn't going to be much work to get them installed & wired up. 30-60 minutes top and won't hurt me a bit!". Then you realize you are not 20 anymore, every joint hurts as it is and now you just aggravated the living hell out of them while installing 35-70lb subwoofers in a small space which causes your arms & shoulders to just kill you for the next couple of hours,lol.
Oh and remember Pop....According to the great car audio establishment Sound World in Green Bay, WI. You can run 20,000 watts through 12 gauge OFC speaker wire so what you did is overkill and a waste of money! (FYI Some idiots told me that when I went to pick up some 10 gauge OFC for the 4500 watts I am running on my subwoofers right now). I just laughed in their faces that they are actually telling customers that and they stand by that & would back it up all day long, that anything more then 12 gauge is a waste of money and no one should need to run 8 or 10 gauge speaker wires,lol.
