hlafords are always wrong. i went in there the other day. if they had an rca aux in lead for an alpine 9853 h/u to conect up the harmen carden ipod thingy. no we dont stock them. and it wont work any way. so after ten mins of trying to explain what part i wanted they stil said they didnt have it. even after i showed them it in a mag some where. so thought ok. walked off over to the audio glas cabinet. took one glance and lo n behold it was staring me right in the face. went to ask them to open the case and shut them all right up. | |

cant be bothered to read all of that. but to be fair, you obviously know nothing about ICE either if you go to Halfrauds to ask. | |

yeah i work in halfords and didnt have a clue about anything...just kinda learnt as i went alone n kinda knew more than most anyway, but they do actually take random people with no experience of cars and chuck them on audio / parts and they dont have a clue what their on about. Everything usually gets passed to me and my m8 which is really gay | |

gotta admitt half of them dont know their arse from their elbow,they seem to think takin young guys in off the street and training them up is the way to go,the only problem is they aint got the staff at store level with the knowledge to train them in the first place | |

the mono jbl bass amps are a 4 ohm amp but depending on the voltage goin in they can can right down to 1ohm without too much strain being put on it,i would imagine the instriuctions recomend running them parrallel as oppossed to in series,u could run them both parrallel and in series which means u could potentially run 8 subs direct of the amp,but 4 of which will run at 8ohms which is good for the amp but wont give u the bass ud expect | |

i went into my local halfords store asking about different wireing systems on my two subs. im using a mono jbl bass amp. and they tried to tel me my amy isint designed to run two subs its not even powerfull enough to run 1 . so going on the jbl website i find the wireing diagrams to wire up to 4 subs up to it |
