    I was wondering how good the iPod interface is with the '05 models, and if it was worth the upgrade to a newer headunit. Thanks, Ed

    I'm looking to put wire connectors to power, ground, and speaker wires to my amps. (RF T6000-4, RF T10001) Just wondering what sizes and types do you recommend? T600-4 power and ground are 4ga., speaker wire is 14ga. T10001 power and ground wire is 1/0ga, speaker wire is 14ga. Or is this a good idea? Maybe just the speaker wire, just looking for opinions.

    Where is the best place to buy Knukonceptz 1/0 gauge wire for the cheapest price? And I also need suggestions on the best place to run my wire in my 2011 mazda 3. Right now I have Knukonceptz 1/0 gauge and the only place I could wire it was under my center console then I came out the side (driver side) and under my seat, and I don't know how to get it into the trunk of my car with it being un noticed, how can I hide it going through the back seat area into the trunk?

  22. A friend of mine who is new to car audio unplugged his hifonics amp and didnt know to remove the connection to the battery when plugging it back up.

I got over there and removed the fuse, hooked the wires up then when i put the fuse in, the fuse blew immediately. So i assumed he blew the power supply since the stereo wasn't on. He uses one of those devices to convert speaker outputs from stock headunit into rcas. So i put my amp in there and everything was fine. When i took my amp out, we decided to hook the amp up again.. if the fuse blew again... then we knew is w…
