What is the best thing to clean my type x 12's with? Does it matter? Soap and water? Water? Armor all wipes? Baby Wipes? Something household preferably. These babies are dusty

Also one more question not relevant in any way to my first. I bougth an amp back from a friend and we de-installed the amp by simply defusing the fuseholder at the battery and leaving just the fuseholder with the live end and the other end of the wire under the hood. We electrical taped all of the wires from the amp including the not live power wire that runs up to the battery. Should this unfused power line cause any trouble even though there is no connection between the live end of the fuseholder and the end running to the trunk?

water is fine...its carbon fiber. Doesn't really matter. A damp microfiber towel will do

power wire should be fine. I would still tape it off anyway. You may want to put a wire tie or something non conductive inside the fuseholder (if it's the glass AGU type) to keep the ends of the fuseholder from touching.

Water and a towel works the best for cleaning subs. DON'T USE AND KIND OF CLEANER ON IT. IT WILL DISCOLOR THE CONE OF THE SUB OVER TIME

Pledge works fine and protects them.

You can clean them any of the ways stated previously, but after that get some vaseline with a towel and run down your subs... keeps the rubber surround soft to prevent damage, and keeps the subs looking new
