Bronze Member Username: ShwayPost Number: 25 Registered: Aug-05 | Ok, I got it workin right now, thanks guys. There were two wires that are blue with white stripes, so I got a little confused. Thanks again! Now my car rattles like freakin crazy, lol. |
Bronze Member Username: ShwayPost Number: 26 Registered: Aug-05 | Hah, and now I fixed most of the rattle. The cool thing about mustangs is the back seats pop open very easy, so all I did was position the sub right behind the back seat, and pop it open when I wanna turn it up. I love being able to feel the air rush past me as the sub pounds, nothin like it. Thanks for all your guys' help! |

Bronze Member Username: ShwayPost Number: 27 Registered: Aug-05 | I have it facin the front in the trunk, right behind my back seat. Because most of the rattle comes from the trunk area, I open the back seat and the bass comes into the cab instead of the trunk so it dosn't rattle the trunk. |
