Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.

Ease up, they're just poking fun at you...just like they'll probably do the same to me for even saying anything, you can't say you've never called someone out on something they didn't say right the first time .

So thats the reason.


Kicker god it doesnt matter how much equipment you have owned or bought or sold. How much install time do you have, how many installs, enclosure builds?, how long have you been around car audio, any comps? thats like saying someone is a mechanic cause of all the oil changes that person has done in there life. theres more to car audio then equipment.

Bet you dont have more than NGSM let alone couldnt tell what half the stuff in the pics are without reading the thread.

NM they work on this comp.

Re: Help Please

btw, if you hook the amp up in lower ohms it will put out MORE power, not less.
