[QUOTE="Foote, post: 3320039, member: 561415"] Hi, I dont have much experince in installing, or electrical in general. In fact, I think I have so little experince that I cant even find help on what Im looking for lol. So I will ask directly. Ok, first some synopsis: Recently I installed my first system (dont worry, I went out and bought some walmart subs, amps, wiring, etc for my first try [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] ) Well, I got em working, but not so efficently. I guess you could call it "ghetto-rigged." Well, Ive definetly seen a lot worse. The problem was mostly with wire endings.
