[QUOTE="jcp42877, post: 7271259, member: 631759"] So yesterday I bought an enclosure with 3 12" Kicker Comps, a 1000w TMA amp, and the wiring kit from a buddy of a buddy for $300. It sounded EPIC in my buddy's car (he already has a system and swapped his to try mine) and I can't wait to hear it..but there have been problems: We spent almost 5 hrs yesterday intsalling everything and going to different stores, but the main thing we found is my old Kenwood after market head unit didn't have a remote plug in, until we realized the P CONT wire was the one...well we tried to splice them but the amp never powered. So today, i take it to a car installation place to get them to look at it and they tell me to splice the exact wires me and my buddy did..so i do it. Well this time the amp powers on! I am so rejoiced.
