rich is a jew hes not gonna make a nice amp rack lol

on another note...does anyone know how to fix ribbon cables? I get customers at work that come in and theirs are broken, so if I could figure out how to fix em I could resell em. Right now I have an Eclipse CD5442 (wasnt free, but close enough) and a Sony CDX-M630 (free) both with broken ribbon cables. And im clueless as to this. Do I need to order a new cable itself? or fix the one in there? help?

it would be kind of hard no? those wires are hella tiny in ribbon cables. i've broken some IDE cables for my computer, and it wasn't worth my time to try to fix it.

roflmaof :lmao:

lol you guys are too funny. neways if you do mount your amp on top of each other the heat from the lower amp powers up the upper amp so it uses WORK [the term from fysics] to generate more wattage per rms, meaning a higher volt of amps the ohms on the sub could handle. seriously im not lying, thats how my cvr got louder, i mean distorted but louder
