I just used the power antenna turn-on lead for my setup...one less wire to run from the head unit!

Can anyone please walk me through wiring a dual channel amplifier to the trunk? Im trying to figure out how to get the wires up front. Also i have a 96 bonney with a stock HU and pioneer 6 x 9'* in the back that need more power. I'm going to install a line out converter. Reply or send me an email at tysox33@alltel.net

More Amps

[size=18]If you get a high power and wattage system like I have it would be a good idea to upgrade your altenator. Factory alternator is like 105 amps, find a junk alternator working or not, and find somebody to rebuild and upgrade it. I've got one rebiult and upgrade and it runs 200 amps at about 2 rpms. A must have for any high power system.

I purchased some damplifier from Second Skin before and had some problems with it... the owner sent me replacement mats of the better model.

One thing in car audio you have to think about as well is how the price will correlate with customer service... not just performance.

For sound deadning material go to your local Lowe'* and buy peel and seal. Its in the roofing section but it works just the same as dynamat and other items.
