    The pics of the solara are truly epic, especially the butt connected cap. I seriously busted out laughing in the middle of the computer lab.

    When I bought my car it was an utter mess that I just completely removed the sub system and all the wires to it and sold it. But the funniest thing about the install, which was a backyard job.... was it had 2 subs and 2 amps in the trunk, the wire running to the battery was the nice fat red wire up until about 4 inches before it connected to the battery it dropped all the ways down to a 14 ga wire. Anytime you would turn up the volume it would become distorted. The worst part about it was that the battery was in the trunk.

    Butt connectors aren't as bad as you make them. Just make sure you use the correct size, non-insulated from Radio Shack and use real heat shrink, not that plastic stuff already attached to the butts. This way it makes for a much nicer, cleaner install.
