[QUOTE="Towel, post: 6551797, member: 617697"] Haha no it was the sales dude who works on the floor, not the install tech. But it makes me wonder how often customers end up having to return parts after the techs tell them it won't work together... based on the little bit of reading I did it seems like the ohm rating is pretty significant since the subs / speakers can damage the amp if they have too little resistance and attempt to draw more power than it can put out. Very true about all the dash kits and wires, they really only cost a few bucks but they're marked up to 20x what they're worth... one of the wires they charge people for (AFTER the install is done usually) was $1.50 for employees and $22 for customers. And do you mean buy stuff from forum members or are there reputable websites that sell audio stuff at near wholesale prices? Thanks, simple and to the point -- I'll look into that stuff, esp. since several people have recommended Type R or S as decent budget stuff. Is there a reason the Type S ones are more easily powered by just the head unit? [/QUOTE]
