got a new set up.

[folglalb 10+ year member]

I got a new sub and amp the other day, its Almani 12" S3-12F 1000w peak, 400-500 rms, that's what its rated, but I have no clue and a MD-2632 1000w amp. Wired everything up with 4 gauge wire. I am gonna go get it tuned this weekend, but I have everything kinda set up how I want it. This was my very first install by myself and I think it went ALRIGHT. I'll put up some pictures and see what you guys think. It hits harder than anything I've had before.

I don't wanna hear anything about being a NUB, like i said, this is my first install by myself. If you have pointers, i'll GLADLY take them. tell me whacha think

that sub isnt gonna last long being smashed against that seat. Atleast flip it around. Why didnt you run the wire through the firewall? going on the outside is pretty ghetto

i know, i gotta re-run that, it was starting to rain when I ran that. just figured I'd take a couple snap shots of it anyways.

okay I can accept you being a noob and all but seriously you should read a book first. your power wire won't last, it'll do more harm than good. I'm sure your amp kit came with a grommet. start here before you attempt anything else.

had that deck blows D*CK 1v pre out get a better one lol

EDIT: why you take a pic of the wire just placed sloppy under the seat haha? just cut a hole in the carpet and run it under then through will look alot better, when you re run the power wire id screw down the fuse holder etc..

wire ran like that will pinch, then short out and can blow ur amp dude. as well dont push more than 500 rms to that sub, I sell Almani and that sub is not too good above rated at all. in fact i sell that sub in an almani built hammered paint box for 100$ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

its a work truck, it gets washed 1 week and 1 week later looks the same.

EDIT: why you take a pic of the wire just placed sloppy under the seat haha? just cut a hole in the carpet and run it under then through will look alot better, when you re run the power wire id screw down the fuse holder etc..

took pictures of everything so I can fix what i did wrong. i am a noob and wanna do this the right way.

well..if i were you i would use the search button and look up "installs" you will get some ideas. i strongly recommend returning that head unit though..

[folglalb 10+ year member]

umm, took me like an hour or so to run the wires, that was pretty easy.
