[QUOTE="ThisWasWrought, post: 7900365, member: 645086"] I would love to post pics but I don't have the authorization yet. I fully intended to but it wouldn't let me. how many posts do I have to have to be able to post links and pics? I fixed some of the wiring today and ordered the component speakers. I spent and hour sitting in my trunk cutting out all the double splices I could find and soldering them instead. The good news is all of my speakers work now! Unfortunately that's more of a bandaide because I found out that it was wired with bi-metal zipcord yuck! (BTW what is the specific name for that kind of speaker wire? It has copper on one side and a silver metal on the other I assume is aluminum) I have all copper wire I plan on running when I install a new HU and speakers. Another question, the amp I have is a 4.1 amp with subwoofer out, but no supwoofer input just an LP crossover. When I get a a new HU with a specific sub out should I get a separate amp and a new subwoofer? In other words how much better would it be to run a dedicated sub amp than the LPF? [/QUOTE]
