How to go about checking the wires and testing the amp? What type of equipment would I need?

Tell you what man. Slide me $100 and I'll let you have the amp.

To explain a little more. I watched the installation of that 4 channel amp. The guy removed the door panels and seats to run the wires. He took a little over 2 hours to finish. I thought in order to remove it they would've had to remove everything the same way they installed it. Obviously that...

And what if it wasn't the amp, what if it was the wiring?

Yeah, but I couldn't ride around for another week with it like that. Cracking was laud with it without music. Sound did go away. 6 weeks ago, I had a similar problem. I stopped at several places who said they were too busy, then finally one checked it and said I had a bad RCA. He wiggled the...

He told me he left the wires there so that if I ever change my mind they're ready for another amp. At worst, they're not hurting anything. But I don't know, I would've like to have them out and everything clean. I'm taking a step back for now. It'll be a while if i decide to do anything other...

Yesterday I started getting some crackling sound and my passenger front speaker stopped working. I changed the front speakers just a couple of weeks ago, so i knew it wasn't that. I tried turning off the radio and the sound was still there. I go to the place I usually go to and they tell me it...

I went by a shop who build custom boxes. They did some measurements and best they can do without covering my spare tire is 2 cubic feet total. That's no much more than what I have. One of the guys who worked there, let me hear his JL 10's in his civic. They insisted that it sound better than...

Exactly what it did. He just keeps the bass turned down, he only cranked it up to show me. The car is an 06 Chevy Malibu. Not sure that matters. Off topic, 10's vs 12's first I heard 12's hit harder better for hip hop, but 10's are faster more for EDM. I've read several old threads, with...

I found out my friend's box is ported. I don't know if it's because of the car or the quality, but it doesn't sound too good. Everything vibrates, it doesn't even hit hard and I still hear more vibration and stuff rattling than I hear bass.

There are a few shops who build them right on my side of town, but they're gonna want a lot more than 200. I don't have a garage or anywhere to work on something like that. If you can find that guy, let me know.

My place didn't flood. A lot of the area around me did. Even today, the west side all along the i10 corridor is still blocked off. I ended up taking in some kittens just out of pity. I got 4 kittens up for adoption if anybody is interested, just let me know.

You got a link for that woofer? Let me ask, what does a box like that cost and who should I get to build it?

I need that wire buried under the carpet. With my kids and all the freaking people getting in and out of my car, that wire won't last a week before it pulled or kicked or something. The installer said he tuned it where it doesn't go up past a certain volume or something. IDK

Tuning the box? See I didn't know the box had to be tuned. How the hell do you tune a box? I didn't install it, I don't have the equipment to tune the amp or fish the wire for the bass knob. I haven't played with the gain yet, but the installer told me it was about halfway. Does adjusting the...
