My mistake was when i married my wife instead of buying a dsp!

[mothernurture-soundsofsere]

My mistake was dating somebody for 8 years that hated bass...

When i screw the Subwoofer in and the drill decides to go through the actual Subwoofer

[mattholmes]

When I bought my first sub I watched the employee slip the impact driver off the screw and straight into the cone

Rattles! #1 way to way to kill the sound quality of a system.

Biggest mistake was believing the advertized 1600w amp before knowing what RMS was

I had just came back from deployment and bought two kicker L7 12's the guy at audio sound (Jacksonville, fl) said I'd only be able to use 1 kicker because of the speaker box space needed. Then he up sold me on some new tweeters, door speakers, and rear panel speakers. I had a brand new Infiniti G35 and it had its own amp... but somehow he got me sold on another amp and new speakers for the entire car... but when I asked for my factory speakers back and my factory amp he said they were in such bad shape he discarded them. This was 2008, the car was a 2006. Next my speaker kept going out. The voice coil kept coming apart and he said I had to contact kicker. Kicker being awesome sent a replacement without question. 3 months later same thing happened again. A 4200 system that sounded amazing when it worked was now dead... the dealer who installed it long gone. Kicker finally sent me to a place called shades of tent (RIP Richard Bass) right away he knew the guy messed up the specs on my box and rather than admit to his own mistake he took off with my perfectly good tweeters, 6.5's and 2x 6x9's with my stock amp. Richard also put dynomat in every place he could (roof, floor, side panels, all in the trunk, trunk lid, even behind my license plate) plus he did it at a fraction of the cost the original guy did... took me 3 years and lots of court dates but I finally got my money back but all the crappy sound place did was change their name to "Rolling Sound" so anyone in the Jacksonville, FL area looking for a good car audio place please make sure to stay away from Rolling Sound. They will steal your perfectly good stock equipment, then blame the manufacturer when in reality they just hire terrible installers.

Poor choices when selectring the equipment ive seen it multiple times people blowing all of their money on really good quality speakers and subwoofers eg. JL and Focal and powering them with fleamarket garbage amplifiers

#4 - not having a subwoofer in your car

[mobettaspice]

A mistake is also punching a hole in the surrounding when screwing it or unscrewing. That’s the worst feeling :(

MY MISTAKE WAS GETTING 2 12s INSTEAD OF 4

[tommywalton]

Stabbing the foam when the drill slips off they screw is pretty common lol

[babyTOY-YODA]

4g power cable and 18g ground. I see it all the time. Ridiculous. Haha

[bleach_drink_me]

I have seen a 500w rms sub wired with 18 awg wire.

It was a buddy of mine who was complaining about not having enough bass. He asked me if I could adjust his amp and I saw the thin wire.

After replacing it with 14awg I had on hand and adjusted the amp, he was happy.

Also important is making sure you use sound deadening in places where the vehicle may experience rattling.

[valenteaguilar]

This guys designed a subwoofer box for my Avalanche about a year ago and i could not be happier

[jackjew]

Make sure you have a good Chasis Ground with a short cable from the bass amp to the chasis this will help the amp run with greater efficiency and stay cooler by lowering the resistance, and Run signal “RCA”wire away from communication or power wires as much as possible this prevents EMI from pulsing in the bass signal

[BBQandStreetCars]

The first thing I learned when I got my 1st system was if it's in a trunk use an enclosed box, if it's in an open back like suv or hatchback than ported box is needed

[Yukanhayt-Mhenow]

Wire gauge is important I've seen friends cars catch fire from red hot sub wires because he used normal speaker wire lol

You are by far the best car audio channel here on youtube. Your knowledge, skill and honesty makes you one of the best. I find myself coming back to your channel over and over again for all of my car audio needs. Thanks for all that you do for all of us.
