Woot! Free Equipment!
Just to get this one cleared up, no, I did not steal anything. Lol and it is only a fan but I still got it for free so I am saving about $30. I found it in the trash can at school so I snatched it up and when I got home I cut the plug off and touched the wires to my battery and the bitch still works.
Picture 1 - This is the fan (stupid camera is bright).
Picture 2 - Lol, this is how far I am on my new box. I forgot to grab some liquid nails when I bought the wood so I am gonna do that today. (the small squares still need to be cut into triangles for bracing)
And I have a couple of misc questions...
1. Where is a place to purchase a good battery isolater?
2. When I get my speaker amp can I run the speaker wires up front along with the rca's or would you guys suggest doing those down the middle?
3. Is it better to have a head unit with a higher voltage than one with a lower voltage as long as your amp can match it? (example, a head unit that has 5 volt pre amp outs compared to a head unit with only 2 volt pre amp outs)
4. How do I use a volt meter to measure how many volts the gain is set to on the amp so that I can match it to the head unit which is 2 volts?

when you run your power wires, and your RCA's, keep them seprate. run power down one side of the car, and RCA's down the other.
as for pre amp volts, high is better, you'll get a stronger signal to your amp. You'll notice a big difference.
