    Stupid Insurance Prices !!

    because they deem the 10-month policy as not being a full year.. and they have practically no way of distinguishing a 12 moth from a 10 month, so most wont really take it...

    wiring sub and amp

    get a battery and connect it to the sub ( an AA does the trick ) this is enough to cause ( white i think ) noise through the sub, you will see it travel out wards or inwards dependant on the phase.. if it works, your sub is fine... if you are gettin the power light on your amp, then the...

    How would I do this..

    hmmm... mixing 2 10" and 15"... dunno how thatll go, could certainly be done with relays... but unless your an audiophile or into SQL comps, 2 10" Subs will suffice with a good amp.. quick enough response for fast dance beats and enough power from a good amp for deep low hip hop beats...
