    Anybody need a custom box?

    Do you do slot ports ? Can you post some pics of some of your boxes to the gallery ... I see your comp box and I can't see your box in the ranger.

    Help wiring

    Of course, if you use heat-shrink you'll want to use solder and a soldering iron ($15 kit) as well.

    underdash neons

    You should use a relay and a small amp fuse for the relay... also, check out computer mod shops like http://www.svc.com and http://www.xoxide.com for cheap cold cathode kits... the light is separate from the bulb in these pc kits and they are cheap as hell.

    confused on ohms

    Bridged is wired from + to - , multiple coils. Resistance adds like X + Y = total amps (IE 4 ohm coils = 4+4=8). Parallel is wired such that the same wire connects to multiple + terminals or multiple - terminals... Resistance then adds inversely so that 1/X + 1/Y = 1/total amps (IE 1/4 +...

    el cheapo fuse holder

    Sounds like a plan.... but really, how often do you blow a fuse ? I've had car stereo stuff for years and not once have I blown a fuse. What am I doing wrong ?

    US Acoustics USX fiasco ? What's that?

    I have no clue what this person might be referring to. From caraudioforums.com's general discussion on JBL BP1200.1 testing (saying its output faded with time - timeframe of weeks).... I don't want to get into the 1200.1 myself, I have no interest in their setup or longevity of that amp, but...

    Sometimes I just don't have the energy for forums...

    Thanks for that, I didn't realize the person was trying to defend their position now. I think there's a joke about argueing on the internet ... too tired to remember it now. Goodnight.

    Sometimes I just don't have the energy for forums...

    I try to be active, helpful, knowledgeable in anandtech, fatwallet, caraudio, and vwvortex forums. Sometimes you have a piece of info that really helps someone out, people are helpful too. Then you try to help someone out at and others chime in with things like this...

    what do girls want

    Ok, help. Women like the men they love. There's no explaining it. Some women like a bad boy who treats them like dirt. Some like a bad boy who are really good to them. Some women like dorks. Some women like men with no confedence, others like men who are cocky and all confedence. They...

    Do i need the wires best buy provides? Cant I buy my own cheaper?

    My local best buy wouldn't use my wiring kit (a RF kit like the ones they had... such a waste of money) to hook up my amp and sub. They had no problem with my own amp and sub, but wouldn't use my wires. I then found this forum and did lots of research and wired my new system up myself.

    what do girls want

    They want a guy who pulls "it" out in front of her at every opportunity. That's the big secret. Isn't that what you're doing ?

    Help with Remote Wire

    Your remote wire is what makes your amp turn on and power speakers. If your remote wire is actually crapping out, your amp and the amp powered speakers will turn off. If it seems like an intermittant problem, I'd suggest redoing the remote wire connections, then replacing the (possibly...
