I bought my All metal one from Oriellys for $215 after tax I think. It's a lifetime warranty. Hasn't had issues yet. It is only a 2 row core though. But still no issues and works great.

I was trying to wire a sub and amp to a stock radio today, I'm not sure we're to connect the rem wire, if someone could help me out that'd be great. Gotta finish up tomorrow,

All it needs is a 12 volt source so basically run a wire from the positive to it

One other option is the flex hose is starting to go. Sometimes they fail by collapsing and keeping the piston extended.

If you have not given the whole system a good flush, start there.

That exactly what not to do your amp will stay on all the time constantly draining your battery.

First thing... hick get out of this thread. You give the worst advice.

Second matt the stock radio will not have a remote wire source. You don't have a power antenna. You will need to run the wire to the fuse block to a ignition source.
