    My old buddy Rob, known him for 30 years, came by and said his fuses kept blowing..and asked if i had a "40 amp" for him. I took one look at his system and knew i had to do something. I fixed him up and got him on the road. I told him, when i have time, i will go through and fix all this stuff for you. It's BAD. REAL Bad. In a funny way. I guess he got it mostly like this. I don't know who is responsible for the bucket o' bass but i HAD to share this with you guys. Make sure to subscribe and hit like if you think i should hook Rob up proper and fix this for him.

Your calling in life is car Audio and your a miracle worker with it I could only dream of your talent. Some years ago I was in Afghanistan and was hit by a IED and we all walked away and from that blast that should of killed us, I have learned life is so much more and I make it a point to help people when they need it. God Bless brother and keep these videos coming alway a pleasure to watch and learn.

I should know I have custom kick panels in my 84 camaro.....and yes there Rockford Fosgate 61/2 components. So,unless you have a system with this set up for front stage,shut the hell up a about it.
