[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 6868181, member: 617319"] The main thing is that you make sure you are always over-prepared for whatever task is ahead of you. One of the worst things you can do is come to a job under-prepared, because you will end up getting stressed out, you won't want to go to the store/inside your house to get the necessary product, and you will end up doing something super-ghetto. While ghetto installs may work, chances are they will lead to things blowing up, which is much more costly than being prepared with the right equipment. A few more things...You usually get what you pay for. A $13 Pyle 6x9 coaxial speaker pair is going to yield $13 results, and a $700 Atomic APX-18 subwoofer is going to yield $700 results. That's not to say their aren't good deals out there. I suggest you skip the crap and the average stuff, and step right into the higher quality, underground (not mainstream) products. AudioQue has some good starter subs that will get you going in the right direction. I hope this helps you become acquainted with the world of car audio. Understand that everything I have told you is from my experiences, in other words I didn't look any of this up. For that reason, don't believe that everything I said is an absolute fact. Don't get overwhelmed, just take things in as they come. I have only been into car audio for one year, and I already know this much, so don't be afraid that it is too difficult. As one poster said, Mr. Mistake is your best mentor. My hope is that what I have told you will jump start you past most of the stupid mistakes. This forum is an AWESOME tool for your knowledge, as there will always be at least one person here that can correctly answer whatever question is trifling you. It is up to you to read a variety of posts and learn yourself. Good luck! -Dylan *To the rest of you better educated members...feel free to let me know what things may be inaccurate with my post, just please be respectful [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Picture of wire strippers: [URL="http://img243.imageshack.us/i/wirestrippers.jpg/"][IMG]http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/5391/wirestrippers.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
