I learned yesterday it's actually a D4 so I'm wired for 2ohm. last time I trust anyone on anything.
the guy couldn't even tell me what his sub was wired for.
actually payed off tho. he didn't realize what he had and I got a steal (;

no. i only use redtops for starting batts. they are the best to use up front but in the rear you will need someting bigger. have you done the big 3 yet?

This is an opinion. Yes XS is expensive but you get what you pay for. If he isnt doing competitions then it probably wouldnt be worth it to pay the extra. What makes you say Kinetik is better than XS anyway?

i heard caps arent worth a crap :/

i picked up the redtop hoping that batt would support the amp
im kinda at the top of the hill about to just give in and give up.
i finally got my hands on my dream system and now its in my car and hasnt been hooked up for over a month because i cant support it

i never play it without the car on, thats the kiss of death.

0g wiring should be here by wednesday, 25ft for 35 bucks, gotta love connections
i've had my car runnin my DD 3512 with no problem since i put the new car batt up front, but since i already ordered the 0g i figure i might as well put the batt in
