bestbuy ….. are you kidding me? (and yes most places like this overprice their crap)
Go to a car audio specialist shop… not an electronic store.

BOSS amps are the lowest of the low.

I would buy a Blaupunkt, Alpine, Sony or JBL. They know what they’re doing.
The more watts of the amp, the more it’s gonna waste, if it’s a cheap one. Make sure to wait a little while, if the budget is low, and buy a proper one from a brand with a good reputation, like the ones I mentioned.

You don’t know shit about hifi then… Blaupunkt is one of the finest brands you can buy. You know why I use a Blaupunkt sub and side-speakers? Because I’ve tried more, and Blaupunkt was the winner in my test.

ok ok ok , buy your blaupunt, then when you come up on some real money go buy yourself some rockford line and or,pioneers cheap shit is worthy of it price new.
once again BUY U.S.A. MADE CAR AUDIO,if you want QUALITY,PERIOD.

Why not just use the battery terminal as ground?

Diablo ftw.

want your ground wire as short as possible. inless your mounting your amp less than 12 inches from your battery you’re just making it a bad ground. lol
December 21st, 2009 at 9:53 am
Sure, you could do that as long as your battery is within 12 inches of your amp.
You don’t want to have a ground wire over 12 inches.

because youre a retard

@TimpBizkit If you have enough cable to run the neg on your amp to your neg on your battery then go for it. Cuz thats basically all grounding the amp does, is return the power to the battery via the chassis of the car. But if you use a cable instead of the chassis, it should be better.
