Stereo is FINALLY in.... DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA, But happened... thanks to this website Options

Ok............ so I spent TEN FRIGGIN HOURS putting the stereo in the car today. Yea.. go ahead.. call me a dumbass..... I feel like one.

So I drill the holes in the custom 6 inch kick panels.... all goes well

Drill small holes in the doors (barely visable) for the 1 inch tweeters. Pain in the ass.. but it happened.

Attached the crossovers to the bottom side on the glovebox with some double sided automotive tape.... no problems.

I wire everything together... including the bass tube. All goes well.. so I think.

Hook up the wiring harness to the back of the stereo...... you know, the AIWA that I bought off e-bay about 4 months ago...... THE CD PLAYER DOES NOT WORK!!!! The radio works, but not the CD... so now I'm friggin pissed cause it's 9:30 pm, and I wasted $90 on a friggin stereo..... already left positive feedback months ago... and best buy closes in 30 minutes.

So I'm doing 90 in my moms toyota Celica (I did all this in her garage today) to get to best buy to buy another AIWA so the harnesses will match up. All of their Aiwas all suck ass....... so I fork out $200 for a descent JVC.

SO I TURN DOWN A LATE-NIGHT BOOTYCALL CAUSE I'M SO EXCITED to finally have tunes in my car.... yea.. believe it.

Get back..... rewire the new harness...... and it sounds great..... except for the fact I GET NOTHING BUT STATIC OVER 1/3 VOLUME!!! AAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHRRRRRR!!!!

So now I'm throwing a fit like a 2 year old with diaper rash in my moms garage cause my shit doesn't work right. So I give up... call it a night..... and I've convinced myself that I have to bring it to a stereo place tomorrow to have them troubleshoot it.

So as I'm speaking on the phone with my friend.. trying to convince her that a VERY late night bootycall is in order....... I have a revelation........ "I spliced the front and back wires together to run into the crossovers....... but then I spliced the left and right wires together to run into the basstube... maybe I can't do that???"

So I disconnect the wiring harness..... AGAIN..... and completely nix the bass tube.

Low and behold....... My stereo KICKS ASS!!!! Hell yes..... sounds awesome.. plenty bass response with the infinity components (I sent the MB Quarts back cause they were used, not new as advertised).. crisp highs, ultra-clear.

And.. on top of all that...... I picked up a copy of the new Limp Bizkit CD at Best Buy.... I highly recommend it to everyone.
