2 questions - 1 about Strut Bar install 1 about sub

First quesiton is do I really need a torque wrench to install my FSTB or can I just use any old wrench and tighten it good?

Second question is more an audio one then a mechanical one. I have 2 kicker 10" subs and a 600 watt JVC amp. I just blew one of them last night and need to replace them. I was thinking about going with these Audiobahns http://www.cardiscountstereos.com/Ca...ct+%23=AW1000X which I got from a list of subs from this site. If not the audiobahn's, which subs should I go with?

thanks for any help.

That all depends on why one of them blew. I would figure that out before I went out and bought another sub.

If you don't buy a torque wrench, you "tighten it to the point that it seems hard to turn anymore." The thing is those bolts are a PAIN to replace if you over tighten and break it (very likely) so I think the $15 for a torque wrench is worth it.

you dont technically need a torque wrench to tighten them up. If you have a 1/2" drive ratchet set youll be all set.

BTW a new bolt for the strut tower will run around $2-3 from Nissan each! I know cause i replaced all of mine for shiny and non rounded ones, lol.
