I actually switched the tweeter mounting brackets. The left went to the right and right went to the left. This allowed the tweeters to be aimed just a tad of axis.

I would check to make sure your powerwire has not grounded out anywhere. You can use a volt meter to check for any continuity between your power wire and ground. Also you should have at least a 100 amp fuse, also are you running 4 gauge wire or larger? And the amp has the same size ground wire?

WHY should he " have at least 100 amp fuse ". Simple and quick math puts his 750w amp @ 12.5V drawing 60amp. IF there is a problem with the amp itself throwing in a 100amp fuse would surely make the problem further than the amp.

Very true, standard fuses that come with 4 gauge are 100 "or lower" however I would not be surprised if he is blowing 25 and 30 amp fuses because they simply are not made for that dray and are failing. He could also take a look at his fuses on the amp add those up and run a fuse that is equal to that as well.

which amp is it exactly? it's not wise to just put fuses in. also what size fuse was in the holder originally?

Hey I have a question for you. I am about to install a 9887 into my S-10 Blazer and I was wondering how the speakers sounded after you did that install on the S-10. I can't decide if I should aim the tweeters towards the dash or towards the listeners, this is why I am asking you for your experience. Thanks for offering the help!

Need Help with MyG37 coupe project right now I'm in the planning stages and have more questions than answers.
My Current setup is stock Head, Stock speaker amp, Sundown Audio SA-10 (Just recently purchased after my Polk SR-10 shit the bed). Powered by a Polk Audio PA1200.1
My next step is to improve front stage. My Question is can I just start with replacing the stock Bose amp with a 4 channel amp. If so what would you recommend, please keep in mind I plan on buying a set of JBL 660GTi for the Front door replacements. Not sure on replacing rears at the moment but prob a coax setup down the line.
I have SQ with good hard hitting base in mind for my ideal setup and would like to shoot some thoughts and ideas to you for my ultimate goal, Let me know if you can help
"Well after my major score at BestBuy, I contacted Bigaudio and he just happens to be in my area this weekend so I decided to take him up on his offer and have him over to install my new head unit and sub amp. Super excited to have him do it, nice to have someone familiar with the car and cares. Pictures will be up on Sunday night.
So where do I start. Let’s start with Matt the person, what a gentleman! Showed up at my house and right away I felt like we had known each other for years. So we sat down for some breakfast and the conversation flowed right away. Sitting with a fellow audiophile that is 28 years my junior and yet likes the same music, well that was a welcome surprise.
Now on to the install, the guy knows this car like the back of his hand. The car was dismantled with CARE in just minutes. All of the wiring was soldered and heat shrink covered and all the runs neatly replaced. Of course as faith would have it, just as he’s getting ready for the final touches, one channel's not working. So out comes everything and the hunt begins. Well like I said, he knows his stuff and after a little trouble shooting, he traced the problem back to the previous installer’s work, short in the "lamp cord" they used to feed the crossovers from the amp. He was kind enough to replace the wires for me with something a little more suitable. Once that was done everything went back in without a hitch.
I really can't say enough about this guy, we laughed all day long, even though it was 80 and the sun was on us all day, we still had a blast! I'm having him back in a few weeks to trouble shoot the system in my FX35.
So if you’re in the market for an installer, don't hesitate to give him a call, the price is right, the work is GREAT and the conversation is fun, you won't be sorry. Oh one other thing, he's done like 40 370's, I don't know many installers that can say that.
Thanks again Matt!"

Not trying to be a hater, but if your going to try and become a professional installer and have your own website. You need to run spell check on that shit.
There's vs Mine (sorry but messing up theirs vs there's is killing my OCD.)
I mean I could go through your about page and find at least 20 grammar and spelling mistakes. That doesn't scream professionalism to me. If your website is trying to say you take the time to solder and save screws, but you can't take the time to proofread your own website I would be looking up the next guy in town with a decent website to work on my ride..
