    We need more of this for beginners and low funds type of sound builds, car audio is expensive and sometimes confusing for beginners, thanks I appreciate your video.

    Thank you for the info! Just installed a skar Amp and sub kit and this answers my set up questions. Any suggestions on breaking in the new sub? Hours of run time on a lower power level etc?

    New to car audio and subs. Just curious. What the settings to tune a rp2000.1 for a skar vs series 12inch wired to 1 ohm... or should I leave it at 2? Just wondering cause I don't wanna blow my sub.

    Never go past half way on the gain . Going over half way results in clipping and stuff and very hard on your speakers

    Never ground any amps under the seat, never! Always ground to the frame, period!

      @tonycervantes4816 I've learned from past experiences that it is not a solid place to ground. It gets loose, comes off, etc. You really want a good solid ground with a grade 8 nut and bolt. The ground is KEY AND KING to any sound system. You can have a 10, 15, 20k system, but if it's not grounded properly, it's worthless. Also, if you don't have a good ground, it can cause a fire along with shorts in the system. Every system I've done, I've grounded it to the frame or some part of the outer structure of the vehicle. But, this from learning from my mistakes, ground is KING!
