HEY CAN WE GET A VIDEO ON "HOW TO BREATH AIR" THAT WOULD REALLY HELP :p

[TheForgeShow]

Doesn't it come with instructions? It's pretty much fit the cords in where it fits, if you for some strange reason got no instructions. This video must be a joke.

Wait so thats red to red, white to... yellow?

[DblSwrdUser]

personally.. for most ppl including me i think this is stupid , for those who alrd know that is. but if u look it otherwise, those who have no idea or 0 experience in this kind of things would probably think its useful. so yeah this vid its actually helpful. but some of howcast vids are not that useful or moreover suck!
