On my L5 (traded it for my half blow up audiobahn) the #2 negative lead broke off and my dad soldered it back on.

and on my JL's i kept braking them off the cone like every week, Xacto knifed the cone off and resolded it.

Nice choic on the 8's, i want to do 2 8's in a custom Center console eventually.

hah no bass boost here. amp doesn have it anyway. never used it. it was completely tuned on the vid, but the gains were set lower becuase i didnt know what this could handle. i had to research the subs first, the gains are accurate now though, i can take another vid if you would like but i think the turnout will be the same.
