Wire me up!!!

[GETGONE]

Yeah..there's a huge hole with a rubber plug on the passenger side firewall just below the PCM. I ran the wire for my fan switch and line lock through there. It must be a 3 or 4" hole. PLENTY for any gauge wire you'll be running.

At this point I do not have any type of amp capasitor installed.

What is the maximum amount of amp wattage can be installed before a higher cappasity alternator must be installed?

I don't think you are not pushing enough power with that setup to need a higher output alternator. Do the big 3 ground wire upgrade and you will be fine for power. Maybe later if your lights are flickering to much you can add a capacitor

What are the dimensions of the two amps? What box and subs are you using?

What length are the power wires for the amp wiring kit? For my brothers setup we went with some wire from a local sound shop that they had on a spool so we had plenty to get to the back of the hatch.

Is there any way you could point out where it is? I feel dumb asking this. hah.

the rubber grommet in the firewall? Remove your PCM on the passenger side fender area in the engine bay and it is right behind it, hard to miss.

What is the big 3 ground wire upgrade that you are taking about?


The Kicker ZX400.1 Mono subwoofer amplifier is 10-1/4"W x 2-5/16"H x 9-5/8"D
The Kicker ZX350.4 4-channel car amplifier is 13-1/2"W x 2-5/16"H x 9-5/8"D
A am using a subthump passenger side enclosure.
Installing a Kicker CompVR 07CVR104 10" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils in the subthump box.


The wire kit included:

• two 5-meter (16.4-foot) Stealth twisted interconnect patch cables
• 17 feet of 4-gauge clear translucent power cable
• platinum-plated fuse holder with 60-amp AGU fuse
• 3 feet of 4-gauge translucent black ground cable
• 6 feet of 8-gauge translucent clear power cable
• 6 feet of 8-gauge translucent black ground cable
• 40 feet of clear 16-gauge speaker wire
• platinum-plated fused distribution block with two 30-amp fuses
• platinum-plated 4-way ground distribution block
• 3 nickel-plated ring terminals
• 17 feet of 18-gauge tinned clear turn-on lead
• assorted connectors and insulators
• wire ties
• protective grommet

The distributer are dividing the wires from 1x 4ga wire to 2x 8ga wires to the amps.

I'm running one 1500 watt amp, and my lights only dim when my sub hit's numerous low notes right in a row. If you do the big 3 upgrade and your lights still dim, look at either getting a battery or a different alternator. I know several audio shops sell mini, 16 volt batteries that are designed just for audio system draw. caps in my opinion are a waste, besides with a battery or an alternator i can gaurantee that your amps run at around 16 volts, instead of the normal 12 or 14, and this in turn means more power from your amps. Well good luck.

Take a look at this page Aaron.

Just get some deep cycle marine batteries and a higher amp alternator. You'll be all set.

[97rs4life]

big 3 is swapping out your ground cables in the engine bay for thicker cables. Like alternator wire, and such

where can I find an RCA adapter? to go from the back of the radio to an RCA jack? That's what i ment earlier.

Your radio doesn't have them?

Do you have a stock or aftermarket radio?

If aftermarket what is the make and model?

[97rs4life]

if aftermarket there should be RCA jacks in the back of it. For my car I went with the stock radio and so I had to get a RCA line output converter and splice into the back speakers to get my feed from, then the converter switched the signal over to the RCAs

And David, you probably could go with just the normal rack for your application. The amps are smaller in size. Here is a pic of one a made for another guy that had two amps:

I've hooked up a sub in my buddys car, he had suboutput jacks, but I've decided to go with the stock raidio so what part would i need for it?
