Complete Installation : Fixing up and building from start to finish. Had to remove all the old stock radio parts and amplifiers. A little trouble Running 2/0 gauge wire through the firewall and to the rear battery. Drilling was a bitch too. Had some replacement metal bits on hand just in case. Then I had to hook up the second sealed batteries in parallel before removing and upgrading the three wires under the hood for better grounding. After I finished hooking em up, I soldered all the zero gauge ring terminals and found a good stable chassis frame ground for installing the new amps. That was the easy step. Then we had to make and build an amp rack, and rewire the subwoofers in series / parallel. 1 ohm impedance FTW - h/o phase red madness. The subs recones will love it BEST in this new ported box! - Next test, we will start connecting and mounting all the cars speakers and repairing the passive crossovers - Making good placement is key. Wicked loud! Once that repair was done - Ran all the remote cables underneath the carpet. Homemade dikes - Just have to tune the amps, set the gains, plug in some test tones and make sure the subsonic filter setting does it's job :) Anything to increase that quality & Get louder performance! Post Testing !

Not the loudest or most powerful sounds ever, but pretty SWEET for the cheap bracket!

  • Since your bypassing the voltage regulator in the computer is there a chance that you can over charge and damage your batteries and do you disconnect the wires coming from the power control module and just run 0 gauge straight to the alternator or do you leave all the factory cables from the pcm hooked up and run 0 gauge??

  • @MrFARTSANDWICH - You won't over charge your batteries because most alternators can't produce more that 14.4v - And the more amps, the better - That way it won't need to over work.

  • i think ima buy some more led's for my truck lol... i miss my lights!! AND I finally got my subs lol..cant wait for them to get worn in! any tips on breaking in my new subwoofers? any other way of keeping the lights dimming instead of installing another battery and bigger alternators? i dont have a big budget yet :) i think i will sooner or later though.

  • @wiggster1080 - Q1: Play regularly for a couple weeks - Q2: No, you'll need to upgrade your electrical to keep up with demand.

  • @leslieandchad - The lower the impedance, the more power it will draw - But it depends on what you amp can handle!

  • @EXOabigdeal no i sure dont but i can get one...does it make a differnce wiring them to 2ohm?and will my amp put out better?

  • @leslieandchad - No - It's just a matter of what each coil rests at - Do you have a multimeter?

  • hey bro is a dual voice coil sub the only subs you can make 2 ohm.....? or can you do the same with single voice coil..apriciate any help.....oh and awsome videos

  • @rasberrysauce - Yeah, I think so too! It adds a nice vibe to night riding :)

  • The blue interior lights are such a cool idea!
