^^^^There you go...

I take back my preivous post, the plug is this coolest idea ever! just add an extention cord and you can put it anywhere to you want take the cord out and you can have wires as short as you need to keep is all clean and not have a bundle of extra wires

The only concern I would have with this is a typical wall outlet is designed for 120, but your car's running on a 12v system.

12v is fine. I would be more worried about the outlet dropping voltage due to the higher current of a car amp or possibly pulling more current than the outlet is rated for. (I think they're usually 25 amps, but I'm not sure.)

Its a 3 prong plug so it was perfect for power ground and remote

what i think i believe is goin on is this...

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE COME OUT OF THE AMP'S TERMALS TO THE BACK OF THE POWER OUTLETS POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE THUS GIVING THE OUTLET ONLY THE 12V. THEN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE COME OUT OF THE BACK OF THE SPEAKER BOX AND ON THE END OF THE WIRES IS A NORMAL PLUG FOR HOUSE APPLIANCES. THUS, EASY IN AND OUT. NO CONFUSION OF WHATS WHAT AND NOW U CAN HAVE A ''PLUG N PLAY'' SYSTEM


does that make sense?

just do what i did and use a breakaway, look em up on partsexpress.com, with this link

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=263-120

fyi, pain in the *** to crimp. Had to smash them with a hammer and then punched both sides 3 times each...
and if you get them, buy 2. They are only sold individually, not as a pair!

Yeah -- but it'll only blend while the bass is hitting hard. So if you're listening to something like house or techno it'll be like.. blend, off, blend, off, blend, off, blend, off, etc....

And when you get to the middle part of the song where it breaks down and gets all soft and there's no drums or anything.... you either just have to wait until the build up or fast forward.. sucks.
