this is what happens when im too lazy to do something, or just done have the money to complete it. [ buy the rest of the wiring ] [ waiting to see what mr. double sausage has to say

]

and then what happens when you send a 1ohm load to a 8ohm sony receiver....it just shuts off and never turns back on. you can hear me trying to turn it back on, and BTW thats my little brother in the backround.

Please elaborate. How woud you "send a 1 ohm load to a Sony deck"? I didn't have sound turned on whjen watching the vid. Maybe I missed something. Were you running the sub straight off the HU?

I just sanded the shit out of a spot right next to the spare tire well, drilled through, and screwed my ground right in. Works great and I have no dimming issues.

No drill?!? uhhh...well then sir, I've got no clue.

Oh! Maybe you could attatch it to one of the strut tower bar bolts? You'd just have to the area down so that theres no paint left.

[edit]

I actually think I might move my ground point there too...it'd really keep anything from knocking the wire loose.

thats where i was thinking of putting it, but do i need to torque the bolts down after i take them off?

All of the times I've taken off the suspension and put it back on (like 5 times) I've never torqued the bolts, just hand tightened and honestly I can't see any ill effects from not doing it...but the manual says to torque it to 25 ftlbs.

I hooked it up to the tailight ground, and just have the wire running over the carpeting. Whenever I get aroudn to installing my huge 2x12 sub box I got from Racer, you wont even see it.

Ghetto? Maybe.
Pretty? No.
Works? Great!
