I went and made a few videos, just to see what i can do with these subs. Got some decent videos, even though unfortunately they are from camera phones.

First attempt at paper trick, trying to rip it up

At sometime i lost the bolt holding in the water reservoir and the whole top came off.

I was bumpin for a few, then on the way home my car started sputtering, i pulled over and we seen the smoke.

Smoke, right after the video it cought fire

What happened was a cheap ass zip tie broke, and the wire rubbed on the block(or something else really hot) and melted the plastic and the arcing cought it on fire. Luckily we can only drink water in the class im in, so i had a lot of water in my car. Otherwise i could have lost EVERYTHING. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

lol zip ties that close to the engine block.. and blaming it on the "cheap" zip tie lol.. plastic gets brittle after heating to a certain point for so long.. it was only a matter of time.. especially if you had the zip tie any bit tight.. use metal couplings like they use for hose connections

The zip tie was pretty far away from the engine, shouldnt have been getting much heat, true next time it will be a pipe clamp.

Edit, was not fused.. I have the fuse, but it was not installed yet, i bought a second fuse, and when it is fixed it will have proper fuses. I failed.
