Well, don't connect this to a black wire in a harness somewhere. It is black and comes with a spade connector crimped on to it, connect this to a bolt or screw behind the radio opening that screws into a solid piece of metal.

Re: start of newbie info thread
[ I really think Panasonic (Matsushita) and Jvc headunits should be added to the good or highly recomended section, people have no Idea how great they are compared to most mainstream brands like pioneer, kenwood, sony, alpine, ect... Just my piece of mind.

Re: start of newbie info thread
I highly reccomend that unless you are an experenced painter you do NOT paint your boxes. Spray paint, unless done properly and with lots of care usually looks tackey and out of place. If you must paint your boxes a good wood primer is a must with MDF or else count on doing about 30 coats to get a decent solid color.
I also advise agianst carpeting. If you want carpet learn on a crappy test box that you built. Practice makes perfect. Use the good carpet, though it may not seem like its worth it a carpet with no backing and lots of strech will make carpeting easier, and often will make it look better. Parts Express sells some decent carpet for like $3-$4 a linear yard. Also, use a good adheasive, ive heard no complaints about 3M spray adheasive.So if im not sapposed to carpet or paint what am i ever to do? well my reccomendation is truck bed liner. Duplicolor sells a semi-gloss black for like $8 a can and works GREAT. i reccomend that your prime the box, do one light coat, one normal coat, and then, another normal coat if there are a few thin spots, then a mist to add texture. The stuf will cover any mistakes you made (well most) and 2-3 cans will do almost any enclosure you can throw at them. Also it protects the box from abuse and stiffens the wood even more.

Car Stereo
I think of the sound in my car like the sound in the studio, actually, an amplified version. I can't get over how important it is to take out the higher ends on car subwoofers and how it's important to take some lows out of higher pitches noises. I have a Pioneer system, and never really choose to turn back from it, mainly cause that $150.00 price tag was cut down to $75.00. But I really enjoy the equalization for this system. I'll link the system in this post. But I also want to get ideas on a good system, because Christmas is coming up and I'm looking to treat myself, haha.

The one you posted is of some very inexpensive equipment. You can get good results with lesser equipment with some good speaker placement and tuning skills though.
