But I am getting there. The main concerns I have now are the amps.

Some of the hardcore people here have like $3000 amps. Who can compete agaisnt that when their car isnt even worth that much? Lol

I would be very interested in getting the loudest with the less power then anything. My current amp is only 500 wats rms. Which is awfully small so I will be upgrading but I really dont think I can afford something that can do like 10,000 watt burps.

I been looking used and new and havent found anything decent. Also I like my subs for daily driving too. And trying to listen to 10,000 watts of power isnt exactly what im looking for.

But I have no problem with owning 2 or 3 amps that I can switch in for comptetions. The 500 watt I have now is fine for daily driving but wanna upgrade to something bigger.

Right now tho I am looking for more power. Aka wiring, batterie, and big 3 setup. I bought a termlab and will be able to test.

My car is a 1996 VW Jetta and was wondering if I would need to upgrade the alternator for the big 3? Or will doing the big 3 still be beneficial even with the stock alternator?

My lights dont dim right now but might once I get bigger amp. I have 2 runs of 0 Gauage one for positive and negative for the battery (which I dont own yet). I read I will need at least 8?

Now my car is used year round how can I run these wires without taking out my whole fire wall? lol.

There is so much to learn and some people like me dont have high speed. So skype wouldnt work too well? Unless I am wrong but doesnt skype have like video conference and stuff?

Also if you guys decide to skype maybe someone could write down everything that was talked about and post it somewhere? Not having to post the whole thing but have like little folders u can download on the subject your looking for to read?

I am not sure but I am highly interested in this topic.


Talk to Les about your Jetta ... he did quite well in his. 152-153 if I remember
yes in the trunk

There's a service all the celebrities use ... celeb "broadcasts" themselves while users watch and can chat in real-time, but the entire chats are saved / video is recorded.
I can't remember the name of the site right now, but couldn't you more less skype into that? Isn't skype just a webcam telephone call? Never used.

Edit: It's UStream ... If you have 10 minutes, look up that site ... Or I will try to this week.

You need to figure out if you want to chat in real-time and answer questions on the fly, or if you want to control it, come up with some videos and answer questions after the fact.

To be honest, I would want to hear what you have to say, rather than tweaking someone's Jetta for a show ... That's a very specific question and only helps one person.
Up to you

It's not just a jetta, it's every car. If everyone knew how to tweak and tune properly there wouldn't be such a hugh discrepancy between scores.
