Make sure you sanded off any paint, and make sure that the ground to your battery is in good shape as well. Jonathan '96 Contour Zetec MTX 208,XXX miles

BlackSativa~ i believe the ground from the amp and battery are done right, it looks like a clean job. thanks for the suggestions guys! 2000 Silver SVT Contour - Daily Driver 1996 BBB Impala SS - Garage Queen http://www.cardomain.com/id/ghosstryda
