Do you have top mount posts? You never really answered that..... if you do Auto Zone, Checker or any autoparts store will carry the clamp the CAMAROWITHBASS used. (See your other topic) If you only have the side mounts, you may be hurtin. Go head and check all your audio install shops in your area. I have found a shop near me that sells them, so they're out there. But i'd just wait.... both knukonceptz and darvex ship pretty damn fast.

as for your gain its really simple. turn you volume up to where you normally listen to it. now turn the bass boost up to a decent setting (50%-75%). now turn your gain on you amp all the way down turn a song with the most bass you can find and go back to your amp. now slowly raise the gain. when you hear the sub start to sound distorted turn the gain down a little ways past the point where it dissapears. i have done several installs this way and never had a sub blow (as long as the rms of the sub and amp are reletively the same this should be fine for you as well)

Did you even read the link? An O-scope is not required. Simply download to test CD and follow the instructions.

i had a side mount battery in my S-10 and i got the part for it at best buy....

It is a Gold GM Battery Terminal Bolt....


Looks like a big bolt, but it actually has another bolt in the back of it. You pop out the factory one, and push this one in place of it.

One question though: Why dont you just hook up the power cable to the little distrubition red box thing near the shock tower that the battery runs to? Thats what mine is hooked up to.
