Well I found out what was going on with the eeeeerrrrrr sound I checked the power steering and it was very very low......didn't someone else on here loss their ac after hooking up subs and HIDs ???????????.please give me some suggestions on where to start.....I do remember my buddy tried to fill it up last year and it was fine....he actually forgot to plug it back in after doing tranny shift selinode .so that was the problem last year and it was comming on with defrost about right before the subs and the upper and lower intake gaskets I did but I check to see if I even unplugged it but I didn't go down that far

Re-trace your steps and see if you accidentally cut the wrong wire. My 2000 has sub's and HID Low/Hi and fog and my a/c works fine still, I didnt cut any wiring though. Also It couldn't hurt running the car down to the shop and have them hook up the pressure gauges on the A/C lines to see if you haven't leaked out your Freon. I'd probably do that first, than I would know if I did something wrong vs. a leak in my system.
