Yes, the tutorial said to keep your speakers hooked up. Some people say to unhook them. I wasn't sure, so I just follow the tutorial. Now my battery is a POS from wal mart CCA is 425 and Crank amping is 510. It is over 2 yrs old. Should I replace the battery for a better one? Odyssey? I was...

Alright, I got my DMM and did everything from the tutorial. Got the 50hz test tone CD and turn the volume to 75% of max. Is the DM AC reading suppose to go up and down? Do I just take the highest reading? I am a little confused about this.

What would be the perfect sub. for: 1.25 cubic ft. sealed box power by alpine pdx 600.1?? Looking for SQL. Price range below 200.

Grr, Im going to pull it out tomorrow and see then.

Not sure, but near the positive terminal it says PC 51. is that it?

Got a question about the DMM. How do I know how many volts to set the amp at?

I wouldnt say its "raping" my car but I do feel a slight decreased in performance. I shouldn't have even brought it up because I did get 40+ mpg on the highway a few weeks ago. Im guessing since its been over a 100 degrees (+texas humidity) the past couple of days could explain the sluggishness...

On the amp there is a "normal" mark printed where you turn the knob(gain). It is the midpoint from lowest to highest gain and that is where my "gain" is set at. Would you mind explaining more about the DMM? If you can give me a good tutorial link that would be even better . Thanks!!

I dont know if this helps but my car is running on a 20 dollar wal-mart battery that I bought 2 years a go.

Well, my gain is on normal but i will set it lower and see what happens. My car has gotten more sluggish since installing my system as well and I have notice a decrease in my gas mileage. If the 3 big upgrade does not help. What else what ya recommend?
