Car Audio Facts.

1.Install is more important than equipment.

2.Your power delivery is only as good as your ground path.

3.You can fuse your power wire according to the needs of the amp or the size of the wire.

4.Speakers do not need an amp capable of delivering the RMS rating of the speaker to sound good. That goes for subs, too.

5.Ported is not always louder or less accurate than sealed.

6, Garbage in garbage out

7, You can never blow a sub with to little power.(but clipping t signal may damage it)

8 You can never have to big of wire.9

9, Adding subs or adding power will NOT guarantee a rise in SPL

10, SQ is better than spl always.

11. Avoid multiple ground paths when grounding audio equipment to prevent a ground loop.

bang for the buck isnt always the best/easy route. better off saving, and waiting. because youll spend more money on cheap shit than u would if u would have saved and bought something worth the money.

Do not rate an amp based solely on its fuses

Along those lines, DO NOT fuse your power wire based on your amplifiers, or its fuses. Fuse according to how much current the wire is able to handle

Exception: Amplifiers that do not have internal fusing need to have a SECOND fuse close the the amplifier rated at whatever the manual says.

Having Eclipse 'stuff' doesn't mean you have an SQ system.
