Can you do a DIY video on how to be concise while also being able to explain in detail yet in an easy to understand way when talking to an audience in a DIY video?

Great vid as always!

You went with a Shoral battery but you have a amp installed?

Is that an issue? I figure the amp is running off the alternator anyways.

The battery buffers the amp spikes. If you don't have a huge system it'll be ok

Actually just installed the sub this weekend. No issues so far, knock on wood. 300w rms sub + matched amp, though it's probably running at about half of that.

300 doesn't sound huge to me. I'm sure there is some way to test amperage drop. Google will tell you. If it was me I'd just wing it lol

watch battery voltage for a little while, but you ought to be fine.

the main trick is to not tell the battery what's connected to it.
