Laser could be dirty

 

[kobe82410]

is there any disadvantages for using a negative battery terminal instead of a postive one?

 

[mr monday niight]

3 way setups ftw

Electrical Fires, FTW!

You MUST use your positive terminal when hooking up audio/accessories to a car battery.

Terrible

Kenwood makes terrible subs

 

[MaxP_3]

Thanks, I would have been screwed. I need some nice light beat for the Altima. Nothing to crush the block, but enough so you can tell when i'm there.

 

[mr monday niight]

you got a budget?

 

[frijolero]

whats typically the best bang-for-your-buck set of subs 10's or 12's

preferably a somewhat mainstream brand that I could find a pair for sale on craigslist.

then you'll wonder why your stuff got jacked not playing your system loud within 5 minutes of your house FTW and @ Frijolero Alpine type Rs or CVRs, takeat look at Fi SSDs and AQ SDCs as well, hell even the DIYMA driver would do well too
