    That's what I used. It's not going anywhere, but either are my chances of replacing just the solenoid lol.

    And to add to demond info, I do believe thats a "hot" wire. Could be ugly if it rattled loose.

    Remind me again why you have 2 redtops?

    I can't think of it at the moment. I know your big on audio and your alternator is strong.

    I didn't think that the alt I got would be big enough for the amounts of power the system I was building at the time would need. Basically i went with 2 redtops so that on the massive drops that would pull more than the alt could handle the batteries would smooth it out.

    Think of the subs as using the same "electrical pattern" as a starter but when the car is running.

    I'm actually going to drop back down on my system at some point because I never even get close to using what I have...maybe 20% of what it's capable of :/
    I did it to say I have it...now I'm gonna go to a custom fiberglass box(s) that hug the wheel arch(s) that weigh a lot less and give me trunk space again ^.^

    Then get rid of the factory located battery to make room for piping and clean up the bay a little. But all that is after I get another vehicle, maybe summer project isk

    I understand all that. I understand audio quite well. I meant why not the yellow tops?

    Ya that part did suck...I know you cant wait till its gets dark lol...I was so anxious...but hopefully you sealed them back up good and if you didnt solder the connections...be sure to do it soon...or have a shop do it...had mine done for like $30 bucks...had clamps at first...not too reliable

    Yellow tops are deep cycle. If you don't fully cycle a deep cycle then you shorten the life. I won't, and can't, use my audio with the car off. All I use the battery for is starting

    Bought a new soldering iron today, its got a handy dandy little light on it lol I set about fixing the LED turn signal connectors cause as you guys said, they were shit. Only got the passenger side done before I got cold but the driver side area is a little more cramped by the turn signals so I feel like that will be a bit more of a hassle..

    Actually the mail problem is the wires are super tight, not sure why tho, but the turn signal barely goes into the slot because the wires are so tight. Is removing the air box hard or require any special tools?

    Just take the top part off and you should be fine. If not the bottom has 3 bolts that are 1/2 inch I think. Super easy. I just changed that bulb like 10 minutes ago lol.

    Just reinstalled a stereo deck, I forgot how good these Bose stock systems are! Carry more bass than I thought.
