    Rear Deck Removal

    how do you remove the rear deck panel in a protege sedan? so far i've gotten the brake light out, and i popped out two of those pop cap clip things that were on the plastic behind the seats. If there is anything to do besides grab on to the edge and pull it up, let me know.

    Sub Mount Seal?

    When you're mounting a sub in a box, does the back of it need to be sealed against the wood with caulk or something, or can you just bolt the speaker down against carpetting with no problems. My subs don't have a rubber gasket on the back of them, so it would just be metal on wood, or metal on...

    Amp Wiring Connectors?

    Hey, i got this knukonceptz amp wiring kit, and it's pretty self explanatory what you do with it, so they didn't include instructions, but i'm wondering about these 4guage ring and spade terminals for the battery and ground connections.

    I need to remove the plastic sill panels on my door frames so i can run the power cable(left side) and rca cables(right side). I dunno if i'm using the proper term for what these panels are, but it's basically the plastic cover over the bottom of the doorsills that you have to step over to get...

    The Big 3 of Wiring

    This is mainly for servo, but anyone else who knows should drop a line as well. My question is, where do i find these things in a protege? Obviously i know where the battery is, but i don't know where the alternator is (or what it looks like for that matter.) I don't know where the engine...

    Sub Box Carpeting

    At what point in enclosure production do you put the carpeting on? The prebuilt ones i've seen look like the carpet was put on the individual boards before they were attached to eachother. If this isn't how you do it though, let me know how to put carpet over a box that is already completely...

    Stiffening Capacitors

    I have a 600 watt system in the works for my 99' and i wondered if i am going to need a capacitor for it. From my study of car audio over the past 2 months, i've determined that if i was to get one, i'd need a 1 farad cap for a 600 watt system. I've heard of people complaining about dimming...

    I'm about to put a 2 sub, 600 watt system in the trunk of my '99, and i need to know if it would be good to get some of this dynamat/brownbread type sound dampening stuff.
