Yo!

Nothing feels better than waking up and counting my own money. I have two clients coming over to the cribbo today. I looked at my account today and I have booked enough appointments to cover rent for two months. I live in the Bay Area my rent ain't cheap. I'm living as cheap as possible. My hustle is all about slow steady money. I'm not chasing big checks, I'm chasing steady work to build my client base. I plan to raise my prices when I have ten regular clients. I quit my job 3 days ago and I have spent every hour since working for myself. I've been in and out of Ubers, moving through cities I've never been to, and having meeting.

Things are going well. I have my rent paid for six months from clients and savings right now. I don't want to use my savings. I took out 1200 just to have in my pocket. It's not easy but it's way more fun than having a job. I work all day now, but it's fun. All I do is talk to clients and practice my crafts. Everyday is a new adventure or not. It feels so fukking good to count my own money and decide what's worth my time. People pressured me to go into business for myself a few years ago and I waited because I knew I wasn't ready.

Young brehs don't ever let someone pressure you to make a move when you're not ready. Don't move until you're ready. Be a man. Premature failure can break the spirit. Also, sell some real sh and have a real skill. Selling t shirts and wrist bands is some jr high shyt.

What subs and amp u running? Wana share any secrets?
I have in my whip:
Amp: Alpine - 500W Class D Digital Mono Amplifier
Speaker: KICKER - CompR 12" Dual-Voice-Coil 2-Ohm Loaded Subwoofer Enclosure
Radio: JVC KD-R990BTS
Wiring kit:Metra - 4AWG Complete Amp Kit to wire it all together.

I bought em all from best buy.

I don't really have any secrets, but these are few general guidelines that everybody should follow when it comes to upgrading your stereo:




    • :ufdup:Don't go cheap on buying the wiring, amp, and speakers. Always go for great quality. The better the quality, means the better the sound more power can be handled.
    • :ufdup:Always separate your positive wire from the amp to the battery from the auxiliary and turn on lead wire so it won't cause interference on the signal.
    • :ufdup:Your gain knob on your amp is NOT a volume knob. Set your gain properly to avoid clipping, which will damage your speakers and the amp. If you don't have an o-scope to set your amp properly, which can be expensive, I recommend a cheaper solution of using a multimeter and ohm's law to set your amp properly with this video. He shows you how to set your gain. Don't do it with your radio's volume maxed out, I recommend doing it at 3/4. Also, here's a link to the Test Tone files you can put on a CD or USB to use with setting up your amp's gain. .

    • :ufdup:Do your research on what your gonna purchase. Make sure you pay attention to the amp's and your speaker's specifications like the RMS watts on the back or side of the amp and speaker product, not the "XXXX WATTS" on front of the product. That's how they get people to buy when they see big numbers because big WATT numbers DO NOT mean more power/bass and their bass sounds like garbage. Your amp has to match RMS wattage output your speaker can handle. Whenever you see just "XXXX WATTS", that usually mean the RMS is half of that. My amp uses 500 watts for 500 rms at 2 ohms because it was engineered to do that, so always do your research on what you gonna buy, everything matches and works properly. If you have time, I recommend reading this article about being smart on buying amplifiers.

I hope these help you out to having smooth clean bass in the whip:ahh::blessed:.
