[@DIYAudioGuy]

I have done that. Luckily I didn't destroy the sub. Exact same scenario, wire with lettering on it instead of two different color conductors.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

It happens man! Glad you’ve caught it before anything blew

[@willsteele9249]

I love your channel too !

[@Chris-od1ev]

@@DIYAudioGuy the wire with the dashes is almost always Red

[@FUCKDSS]

Aw man we gotta use grammamas lamp cord tho ...

[@Bill_Bacon]

​​​@@Chris-od1evNo it's not. Seriously, in DC applications if both wires are black, the one with the dashed lines or texturing is always negative. The same goes when the vinyl coatings are the same color. If one is red and the other black, well that is explanatory and obvious. I could go through my scrap wire bin and show you several examples. (No, I'm not "that guy" that loves telling others that they are wrong. Peace ✌️)

[@kylelarsen3106]

When your vids pop up that’s the first thing I click on

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Really means a lot man!!

[@bojow8102]

Same here 🤗

[@Gravytrain815]

Same here, just had bypass surgery last week and been watching quite a few videos and I was hoping for an update on the Tahoe. Thanks Parker, yer the best

[@kevinAuman1]

​@@ParkerTheBassheadhey brother checkout MBRP Installer series exhaust they sell the whole header back system for Luke $400 and I put one on my 08 yukon denali it's quiet but still has a slight growl that is enjoyable... Give em a look

[@Dreamgyrl]

​@@ParkerTheBasshead hadn't been my week either my car is broke down 😢

[@HifiRedneck]

This has happened to the best and worst of us. Over the years what I’ve discovered is to have the bass knob turned down all the way when hooking up subs and just lightly “burp” the bass knob. And if nothing happens I start checking my system. But a short burp shouldn’t blow subs right out of the gate if they are wired wrong! (Unless you are overpowering them of course) Ever since I have started doing this I haven’t had any issues with my equipment!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Very smart!!

[@robrichards3146]

We are so blessed to have your videos too parker you're appreciated

[@ThomasFromFlint]

Your close to finding all the common issues. One more thing is the voltage regulator. I kept thinking i had a bad alternator.

[@b-luv339]

Lack of sleep, lack of focus. I ve been there. Costly lessons. Hang in there.

[@michaelg97]

Carefully hit that seat with some steam and it will help the leather fit the foam a lot better. Also if you clean up the passenger seat with a leather cleaner then conditioner them both i bet the color would match a lot better.

[@erichargis3349]

Parker, appreciate you showing the mess ups. Your not the only one, we have all done dumb crap. Just appreciate you showing the real the stuff that happens and owning what had happened to you. Big respect bro!

[@rickgrimes4133]

Buddy 2am comes early! Trust me I completely understand what you’re saying! As I’ve gotten older, I won’t mess with anything anymore unless I’m fresh

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

You’re a smart man! I should know better by now haha

[@brendanbaker91]

Love the honesty It happens to the best of us.

[@customspeakerpods5078]

We appreciate YOU Parker! You weren't alone this week, I blew up an amp when I dropped some wires.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

I’ve done that too man! Happens to the best of us. Just gotta move forward 💪🏼🔊

[@RJSDZNS]

Dude! I fried a Skar amp once not paying attention. Unhooked a live power wire and accidentally let it touch the ground terminal while still grounded. Great puff of smoke, goodbye amp! Crap happens! Loving the build series Parker!

[@jalensturkie2870]

I had a timpano amp where I wasn't paying attention and straight up hooked it up backwards 😂😂

[@RJSDZNS]

@jalensturkie2870 I bet that sucked!!

[@jalensturkie2870]

@@RJSDZNS I sent it back to em and they covered it under warranty so I got pretty lucky

[@RJSDZNS]

@jalensturkie2870 Dude! That's amazing! I hope you left whoever you bought it from a good review! I'm using CT Sounds in my latest build. 4 channel amp went out but it was out of warranty so the company gave me 20 percent off a new one. Good companies deserve recognition! Glad you got a new one for sure!

[@mariovasquez7391]

​@@jalensturkie2870i did that too but wasn't connected at battery so when I connected it at battery my fuse save my amp thank goodness I did it that way and got lucky

[@stevemaniaci4750]

First of all, I'd like to say you're doing great cleaning up the Tahoe. So, I'm glad to see the cluster working again. It's a pretty cool truck. As for the polarity issue ,iv said this to many friends before that the polarity is very important initially and should be double-checked . I alway like to check the ohms reading after wiring subs togather before connecting to the amp. Thanks for update parker

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir i definitely should have checked the ohms first! Completely my mistake

[@soulshaper6137]

Man I respect showing the bad and ugly because the reality is it happens to us all at some point love the vids man and I hope things smooth out for you brother! Remember you all keep bassN on!!

[@brianhardemon561]

We appreciate you too Parker. KEEP BASSIN ON

[@arnoldromero513]

Every Sunday morning I thank god to wake up and watch Parker the basshead, you rock homeboy, thank you 🙏

[@willsteele9249]

Thank you for always keeping it 💯, love your channel!

[@frothyshoes]

You're good bro. We appreciate the honesty, you're still a car audio god.

[@MFFOG]

Your honesty and humble attitude are amazing bro! You're the man!

[@calvinevans8305]

17:04 You got that right Parker. Take care and God bless you.

[@ChrisRichardson-v6c]

You're welcome Parker , always good to see you experience things that we all have done or could do and you don't try to hide when you ooopppsss .. if you know where I can get some stupid cheap 1/0 gauge please lmk , I need about 30' but I'm struggling to make ends meet !

[@boosted74m2]

You just humbled yourself in front of everyone, some of them probably do not work half as hard as you and I am sure a huge blessing will come from this one video alone. By the way, your self accountability should be acknowledged. At least you didn’t try to blame the budget subwoofer for what happened or just not tell anyone at all about it.

[@BassDad-TV]

Hey man, couple of things. First that stuff happens don’t sweat it. Your viewers understand. There will be a couple of people without nothing to do that might try to be silly about it but when you mess with this stuff all the time stuff happens to everyone. When folks act like they have never messed anything up they are just telling me they don’t really do much with this stuff. The other thing is I ended up with an extra cluster too a while back and I took and got some led lights from Amazon and replaced all the ones in the cluster with those LED’s and it was really cool when I got it done. Really cool super cheap upgrade. :) keep on bassing brother! 🤘🏽

[@johnzuro4596]

Wow, I have those same medical shears. Those things will cut a penny in half easily. Love these diy vids. Thanks Parker. Keep em coming.

[@chrisnunya7171]

We all have weeks like that. Just keep on bassing on bud. 👍🏻

[@johnofsometrades405]

Love how you admitted your mistake and shared. You are absolutely correct. We all make mistakes, that's how we learn not to do it again. The strongest oldest Lions have scars. This is from the fights and wars of life, proof they made it through the toughest times and still prevailed. It can hurt, we may suffer, but when we make it through, we have more to show. Stay positive (+ to +😅) and thank you for what you do!

[@Morteexx]

Its 2types of bassheads, the one that have hooked it up wrong. And the one that gonna hook it up wrong 😂

[@gunjunky187]

Appreciate all your hardwork and I love your channel. It's always important to take breaks and time for yourself. Thanks for everything you do.

[@RandomRichZ]

I would keep the cluster. The stpper motors are PRONE to fail. And you would have backups if u kept it. Keep in mind the cluster holds the milage meaning, If you change the entire cluster the milage wont be accurate. It will display the milage lastr on olde vehicle. NOT what your vehicle has.

[@mygoots]

We love your content parker. Keep going brother, you inspire the shit out of me.

[@bojow8102]

Hey bass brother ✌️ It is what it is and you live you learn. Everyone makes mistakes but not everyone learns from them. Can't wait for the Orion review, always been a dream subwoofer for me. Good luck with the rest of the Tahoe build and keep bassin on👍🔊🔊

[@eddysevilla9648]

Thank you for being so humble that's why we love your videos 💪🔥💯

[@Valverde713]

always color match my jumper wires to avoid this kind of issue. Can't wait to see the HCCA video, I've got an HCCA 12.2 that ive been running in my daily driver for over 10yrs. Love that sub.

[@tedpollock3256]

Stay positive Parker! Love your videos!

[@vidalfernandezwtb9003]

Having one of those weeks right now. I used a chrome wrench to tighten up some bolts on my lithium bank and let’s just say my trunk was looking like the 4th of July

[@TheRepos296]

Even though it isn't your usual content. I really appreciate it tremendously, because I never knew that you can purchase car seat foam, although I knew about the covers. now I know exactly what I need to do to fix my car seats myself instead of paying someone to upholster them for more money. Thanks a million man. Great video.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

You are welcome! It was pretty affordable. Way cheaper then going to have someone else do it

[@TheRepos296]

@ParkerTheBasshead 💯 don't quit. You are a legend in the bass world. You are amongst some hall of famers in this game, Wilston old skool, exo. To mention two otters, you guys are the best we have and we really look forward to your videos. Maybe you can go to once a month content if you're tired, if your sponsorship would understand. As someone said, you are the first video we look for on Sunday morning, anyone else can come after.

[@LatvianVideo]

Someone I know had the coils hooked up wrong like that, suprisingly the sub still slightly moved, but the amp just went into protect Hooking up the coils correctly and it worked perfectly.

[@rustybrown9829]

Your doing awesome, keep it up brother 💪

[@FangOfTruth]

Well I have hooked power wires backwards on a MTX 75.4. Good thing it has great protection circuits. It didn’t even blow a fuse, it just went into protect.

[@91CavGT5]

I did that once to a Memphis 1,000 watt monoblock amp. It was my fault. I was using grey and dark blue wires for power and ground. In the dark I couldn’t tell which one was which. The amp blew in spectacular fashion.

[@highgoals4204]

Hate it for the subs bro! Another tip, it's best to take out your fuses or disconnect power wires before undoing any amplifiers. I have two sundown sfb 2000.1 that I've fried the same way.

[@brianhardemon561]

It's all a process my guy. Keep it pushing it will get there. BASS ON

Looking forward to the hcca! They are oversized. I picked up a 15" hcca on fb(needs a recone). Cant find repair parts because its actually a 16" sub. So i can either go online and buy the Orion recone kit, or i have to switch the basket, which is ok cause i may turn it into an 18". Just havent decided yet

[@Kyran-zv6ju]

I always put the words on positive. That being said i try to not use that type of wire unless i have no choice

[@tomaz320]

[@robrichards3146]

That's ok because you will need an extra cluster in my sierra the cluster takes alot of abuse from the bass. I went through 2 already

[@JonesCoWoodworks]

Don’t feel bad about the mistake with your cluster Parker. I actually changed my fuel pump on my Suburban and then realized that it was just the relay. All of that work and money for nothing. 😢😢😢😢😢 That’s the thing though , every time you learn something from your mistakes is a lesson well earned and you’ll never make that same mistake again.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

You couldn’t have said it better! 💪🏼

[@JonesCoWoodworks]

@ I have a question for you. Do you still have any of the WLLDSE HCY 15” subs ? If so I would like to buy them from you if you would let them go. I’m trying to build my system and I need four more of those to get me where I’m trying to get. Please let me know if you can help me out with this when you see this.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

@ unfortunately I do not. I wish they still made them!

[@JonesCoWoodworks]

@ me too. I have 4 but I’m wanting to use 8 of them in my Suburban.

[@74midwestbass74]

Nice work bro

[@MinSnotaSeshBoi-RD]

Hey bud just wanted to say great job I love watching everything you do I also just wanted to throw it in there and that goes for anybody who sees this I love to take old and new blowing speakers and see if I can get them to function again either I rewrap coil or find some way to fix them DIY style and on that note I just wanted to see if anybody has any unwanted or want to get rid of any speakers that are blown or ruined in any sort of way and get them sent to me and see what I can do with them as I would also try to make videos on doing such if this seems like anybody is interested in helping me doing please let me know and I would love to work something out with anybody hopefully there's something that we can do in that matter if so let me and if not I completely understand just wanted to throw it out there and see what happens otherwise keep up the great work and the great videos hope to talk to anybody about any sort of things mentioned take care y'all 😁

[@musicwiz40]

hey don't kick yourself too much. I have 2 really nice subwoofers in my car and watching this gave me anxiety DID I WIRE THEM RIGHT?! I almost went out and tore my setup apart to double check even though I've been bumping with it for like a year lol.

[@patrickthomas5941]

And that’s why I always do it with someone else who is knowledgeable in hooking it all up!! I prefer it to be my son, he pays WAY better attention then I do and he’s my voice of reason 😅
