Thumbs up to KnuKonceptz for only charging $8 to ship stuff to me. I really should go through and order two of those 1M-2F Y-adapters and two of those 1M Karma cable RCA's.

Install did not go too well today. I didn't wanna b1tch and whine about it but I guess I will.

1) I went to the tint shop to fix one window because the corner had a bubble I tried to fix and I ripped the tint. So they fix it, I come home and am tightening a bolt and the rachet hits that same window and makes a rip in it.

2) It took me almost 2 hours of modding to get my rear panels back on because the extra deadening I put on kept the panel from snapping back on.

3) Some tap screws that hold the amprack up are stripping.

4) Wiring is too short in some areas and it's gonna be a B to get more slack.

5) I made the bottom of the rack where the wiring comes in ugly because I thought it wouldn't be visible through the plexi...turns out it is visible.

ETA 2 more days tops hopefully. All the problems are fixable, it'll just take some time. The engraved plexi is sweet though, I'll try to snap some pix tomorrow.

And I must say, 5% tint on the back = near zero visibility at night. I do love my tint though. :)

That sucks man.

Did you look at the amp rack close up and see that the wires are visible or from a further distance ?

Do the seats fit in the up position ?

You can see the wires if you're looking at a downward angle. If I keep the cathodes at the top, there probably won't be enough light shining to the bottom to even see the wires so problem solved. They'll probably be visible in daylight though. I could make the wires hidden, but that'll be a last priority.

Seats don't go up, but I don't care b/c the crap under the seats looks cheap so I'd rather keep it covered.

Another sign that I am destined not to have car audio:

I got the amps plugged in and went to turn on the car...and the battery is dead lol.

cant you recharge it ?

Sounds familiar, when I did my glass work I killed my battery three times. I finally gave up and disconnected it. Sort of hard on those things going to 0 volts, but :blink: sometimes sacrifices are made for the good.
