You're welcome. I assume that the link still took you to his site. I forgot that the link needed updating when I copied it from my favorites folder. The new link is http://www.bcae1.com/ Later, Have fun with your install.

Yes, you can. Go here - Basic Car Audio Electronics and scroll down the links on the right-hand side to #36, which is "relays". Really good info on hooking up a relay in your circuit. Good luck.

There's some decent info in the Crutchfield Learning Center Another good place to get links to articles and such would be eCoustics - click on the amplifiers link. Good luck.

I've looked around their site and like the prices, too. I haven't ordered from there yet but I might. (That's why I was looking at the thread that I posted earlier.) I saw that they are in my UPS zone so UPS Ground from them equals next afternoon delivery in my case. No sales tax because I'm not...

I'm subscribing to this thread. I can tell that some of these tales are going to be pretty good. (At least, I hope so.)

If you buy it from Crutchfield, I believe that U.S. Acoustics will extend the warranty to three years. (You might want to check that with Crutchfield to be sure.)

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/ups.asp After investigating this UPS uniform story (bought on eBay) and another UPS uniform story (stolen uniforms), snopes.com has deemed the rumor to be false. I remember getting this e-mail warning a few months ago and checked it out back then so I know it's been...
