Whatever is in your picture is not right. You need a Metra GBPA1S (or the same thing from another brand). I use a Monster-brand one but I don't know the P/N.

Okay, just got back from Autozone and they had the correct Bolt Adapter. Now everything is working fine. But dang, the one I ordered from monster was either wrong or they sent me the wrong Adapter. Ended up costing me $83 for a new battery. Everything is working fine now which all that matters. Thank you.

Wow! That is one long adapter! I know monster makes two of them, both for gm's supposedly. That one probably would've worked with a couple washers, but if you have the shorter one now, it's all good. Too bad it cost you a new battery, though. How's everything sound?

Yeah I know, but we well. As for how everything sounds, it sounds great. I had this same set-up in my 300zx only difference now is the Head Unit and Cables and wow, it does sound so much better. Also I ended up getting Monster Cable Speaker Wires. Once again thank you so much for your help Hatch along with the others that replied back to my post. Thank you and god bless.

Glad it turned out well. At least now you can say that you did it yourself

It's probably made to go through the stock battery connection, whereas with what we do, we need to cut the rubber around it and just screw the ring plus the new ring that goes to our amplifier on.

your right dragon I think it is for the stock battery.

Hey Hatch, I'm very happy I ended up doing it myself. Really feels good to put somethng together which I've never done. But dang, still a little upset about tue battery replacement. That's -$83 from my 9" moser rear end savings

It's a video clip of my system playing. Not a great Video though, I couldn't play it loud enough because I share a garage and people live above the garage. Sorry about it being so dark also.

Hey Hatch, you will never guess what happened to me this weekend. Someone broke into my car and stole my Amp. They shattered my back window and replaced that yesterday. Now I'm in the market for an Amp and very very low on cash. I probably shouldn't be posting anything from ebay but oh well, I need help.

What do you think about this Amp?

Also this one here too

You pretty much know my set-up since you helped me out with it. Not sure how much wattage I should be looking at. But I'm going to sell my Subbox with the 2 12's to someone local and will be putting in a stealth box either a 10" or 12". Thanks Hatch.

Sorry to hear about that incident. People are f-ing scum and only think of themselves. If you're going to sell your subs and get a single in a stealth, then you need to know what kind of sub you want first, then choose an amp to power it properly. Honestly, I personally wouldn't buy an amp from Dual or Boss. You should be able to find a good deal on a better amp. Are you looking for SQ or the most bang for the buck out of the single sub?

Thanks Hatch, well I'm looking for the best bang for my buck from a single sub. My bazooka subs are not the greatest but I was satisfied with them. So can you recommend me an Amp for around the same price as the Boss Amp I showed you? Probably would like a 2 channel Amp incase I decide to use 2 subs in the future. Well hmmmm if you know of a single channel for a good price I may be interested. I'm selling my box and subs for $300 so I will have that to spend.
