Re: New to car audio.
Welcome to one of the worlds most expensive and addictive hobbies.
this should get you a basic idea of whats needed to get a complete front/rear and sub stage http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=382679 this will teach you all the basics of the electrical terms and how some things work and such http://www.bcae1.com/ this should help some http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/caraudio.asp this should help some also http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm Like everything else in this world you get what you pay for in most instances you can notice a severe difference between a subs that cost $50 and one that cost 3-4 times that much, look at the brand rating list it helps give an idea of what to look for.

Re: New to car audio.
Wheres and what is the amp grounded to, also your power wire could be sitting on something cause it to short blowing the fuse which is most likely the cause. Next step are the fuses on the amp blowing it could be the speaker wires grounded. Double check all your wiring to make sure nothing is touching.

Re: New to car audio.
how about we keep this in the thread you started and don't hijack other's threads with the exact same question you asked before.
