    If you're using too small of a wire, your mid-bass will suffer. You can use 16g, but if you're running new wire, you might as well do it right. 14g being a waste is not an accurate assumption.

    The Santa Ynez reservoir is a negative impact to the to fires when it's empty. Again, Name 3 reasons why the reservoir was built. Come on old man! Tell us! You can't! If you did, then you would have to admit one reason, it was built, was to fight fires. You're an old senile man living in...

    If you're running 150 watts to each speaker, you will need to run wires from your amp directly to your speakers. I would use 14 gauge wire. Your factory 18 gauge is way too small.

    Featured Hard Wiring camera to Alpine ilX-705D

    I wish I could help. I'm guessing that plug goes into an Alpine camers? try getting an Alpine camera, that plugs into that, and see where the wires go.

    What Did You Buy Today?

    Speaking of buying a motorcycle. I just picked this one up for $700. It needs a new crankshaft seal, which is a 2 hour job and $80 in parts. I got it from some rich guy who didn't want to deal with it. He had two other KTM 450s and a CR500.

    Dude! My obsession is exposing that you're such an F'ing narcissistic liberal puppet. You just can't ever admit when you're wrong. You even go so far so to ask why the person is so obsessed with getting the question. "What are three reasons why Santa Ynez Reservoir what made?" Your answer...

    Sub recommendations

    Stick with a name brand and you can't go wrong. Memphis, Kicker, JBL, Infinity, JL Audio, Fosgate, MTX, and Pioneer. Pick one with the wattage you want. For a single 12", I would probably go with a JBL or JL.

    I'm sorry. I overestimated just how dumb you are. Let me explain this another way. Biden took office in 2021, then prices started going up. in 2022, it spiked because of the war. 2023 was still higher than before the war started. Prices didn't drop way lower until after Trump came into...

    Budget build advice - Haven't built a system in 20 years

    To answer your question no, you don't need a DSP. Will you want one? Yes, you will want one if you're keeping the factory radio. An SQ build is a personal taste. It all depends on what you believe sounds good. Some people will be happy with a deck install, where others will need a $5000...

    After 2022, prices continued to raise higher than 2021. Can you not see that? I thought you knew how to read a graph. You still haven't answered why prices shot up so high in 2022. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't because of Trump. instead of me asking a 5th grader how a chart works, maybe I...

    What Did You Buy Today?

    I just bought 650 sqft of SOD and all the plumbing for a new sprinkler system. My kid graduated, and they wanted to have the party in the back yard. After all the SOD, sprinklers, and catering service, and decorations, this had to be the most expensive graduation party ever. It cost me close...

    It all depends on the look you're after. The MT09 is the most modern looking bike, while the Z900RS is the most vintage looking. The MT09 and Trident are a lot alike, but the MT09 sits up more. Personally, I like the MT09. Another thing you might want to do is sit on them and see which one...
