hate to nit pick but I'm not liking the smaller of the two wires going into the positive terminal, maybe camera tricks again, but it is finals!

next year I promise I'll have a car for you to pick on as well !!!

EDIT: okay okay, I lied, I love to nit pick!
What do you mean by the two smaller wires one comes from the Alternator and the other goes into the cabin but is caped behind the radio. It was my B+ for the Radio when the Eclipse was in.

AL can you elaborate what you see is potentially a points breaker?

The 8's are in...the size difference was 1-3/4" in diameter they fit beautifully

Like I said, maybe just the viewing angle, but the heatshrink looks a little short on the smaller wire.

it looks like there's a little bit of exposed wire peeking out just beyond the terminal cover. if I wasn't at work I'd draw cute little arrows showing what I mean, it's a two minute fix either way

since Fozz'z car will be 6 years in the building, I'm looking forward to playing with the 8's.

I heard them in Gumby's truck and they sounded good, but it was with a competition tuning job, so I never got to hear their real capabilities.

heres a pic of what I mean
