the carpet trick is this: My old man used to deal in trade in cars and he could take an old hagard out carpet and make it look new like this......

bucket of hot water ,add RIT fabric dye and about a 1/4 cup of BABY SHAMPOO!

vac off the carpet (WITH SEATS REMOVED) SOAK THE CARPET and with a med. bristle brush scrubb the rug with the dye/shampoo mix(wear gloves) and then vac it out with a wet/dry vac, start the car(out of the garage of course) and turn the heat on HIGH with all the windows up and a slight crack at the top of one let the car run for 15-20 minutes the moisture will escape out of the cracked window and the carpet is dry !
PLUS the whole air heat system is fresh smelling and the carpet will look like new!

I did this to a 300zx that had crappy light blue grease stained carpet and went with a darker blue dye and it looked AWSOME for about 5 yrs!!

Black carpet really looks new this way!

Im still confused, should I ground it or wire it to the baterey?
How would the ground pop off if it is bolted down?
And how would it blow out an amp?

we didn't have our amp box srewed into anything so the ground fell out when we stopped hard. it then sounded like the car reving... the sub was making some crazy noises... it was a shitty amp, i think it just blew cuz it was so old.

Grounding it to the battery definately can't hurt but personally i don't think its worth the hassle. I just used a self tapping screw and went into the frame. Other people hook it up to where the seat bolts to the floor or where the seatbelt connects. For any car audio questions you can hit up elitecaraudio.com. The have an awesome forum with lots of cool helpful people (much like this board).
