Best thing about vid is theres no backround music

I've learned a lot. Primarily, that I want to pay for an amp installation lol

This is hands down one of the best sub-woofer install/instructions videos on the internet. Thank you.

"oh this looks pretty easy" *Takes apart entire dash* "Nevermind"

this guy actually taught me well

No beating around the bush! Straight to the point no background life stories no bs! Thanks!!!

All the other videos on youtube are in 360p and feature some 19 year old from birmingham talking quietly over shitty early 200s EDM. Thanks for this

Honestly Crutchfield has been a damn lifesaver. This is my first time doing any of this stuff and they have made the entire process so much easier. From figuring out what to buy to putting it all together, it’s been a damn pleasure. First time in a long time that I don’t feel like human livestock and more like an actual customer of a company that cares

I'm not going to lie Crutchfield is awesome in there ways of finding what you need, want or even give schematics on how to implement anything electrical into any car. Absolutely astonishing service, Thank you!

Yes finally a good tutorial.

I have installed many amps with subs. And many to factory stereos too. I showed a few younger guys/girls how my aftermarket radio sounded, and some actually had me install a new radio too. But installing to factory radios is very easy as you saw here. Just an extra step. Very good video, no music like others said, and clear instructions. A+ video here!

Damn .. I wanted to hear how it sounds 😑😑

I wonder how many times he stopped recording to look for a 10mm

Subs in a mini van 😂😂 blaring rap while you drop off the kids to soccer practice

“And now this car is actually gonna sound decent”. I WAS DEAD

Well I ordered some subs and was going to make it a little project for myself seeing as I’ve never installed any before and I now see that I will 100% be paying someone to do so lol

Great video! I was installing my amp last night and I had so much fun installing it. I finished installing it at 4am on my convertible mustang. I have to say it was not easy, but not too difficult. Its all about taking the dive and few 🍻

I’ve been a customer of crutchfield for years, back before the type r 12’s went from 500rms up to 600, they’re generally more expensive than my local shops and other online stores but their customer service more than makes up for it. Add to that the fact that they also send instructions specific to your project via car make/model, year and various trim options and it’s easy to see why I’ve recommended them dozens upon dozens of times. Oh, and they also provide the adapters for, say, the door speakers in an extended cab 2000 s10. That kind of stuff really makes a huge difference. This is literally the only company I’ve ever consistently recommended to my friends, coworkers and family *and* never once have I regretted it. Every time they listened to me I’ve always received an almost surprised call/text from the respective person saying that they haven’t ever been so surprised by the supreme coverage provided for the product by a company. I bought the sound ordnance ported bandpass dual 12’s, matching alpine amp and focal 165v1 component one time and they sent the replacement focal speakers before I even returned the original ones to them. One of the mid range woofers has an incredibly minuscule pin prick of a hole right by the seal but other than that I honestly cannot explain the amazing, full body sound that they create. The soundstage is unparalleled and songs like bohemian rhapsody literally sounded like I was a couple rows back dead center at a concert just for myself/occupants. This comment got out of hand but it’s honestly because I can’t recommend crutchfield enough, back in the mid 2000’s I was hesitant to spend my limited cash(I was around 17/18 at the time lol) on a system I had priced around town/online that I knew was around 80-100 dollars more expensive but the warranty included already made up for it as that alone would have cost more from daddy-o’s(one of my infamous local shops) but then when I got the items, which arrived insanely quick relative to what I’d been used to with places like eBay etc at the time, I found a print out with detailed instructions. This peace of mind was invaluable as this was my first install I’d done by myself and was beginning to second guess myself. The instructions were great, but the added speaker wire adapters were greater. That was one of those things you sometimes just completely don’t even consider until you’re midway through the project and it’s now too late to go to the store lol that was such a life saver and that experience made me a customer for life, if that was somehow in question at this point. I love crutchfield, I’ve never loved a company, hell ive only ever really loved two women so I’m not exactly throwin around love lol but crutchfield is something else. They do things the right way in a time where they really don’t have to. I’ve got about seven stories where they have saved or at least expedited a project of mine but this comment is excessive enough. *TL;DR Crutchfield is unparalleled and their customer service is in a league of its own.* Edit - man the whole reason I even started this comment was to point out the guy calling the mini van a hatchback lol I found that funny even tho I guess it’s technically correct, just found it humorous. Great video btw. My passion for crutchfield really took over there...smh.

Id have to watch this a dozen times to get it right honestly you can see hes been doing this for along time

Thank you for making a how to for someone who's never worked in their car before, this is the best tutorial I've been able to find so far

Don’t have a car yet, still watched the whole vid.

Why wasn’t this the first recommended video???

The sound of stripping the wire was so satisfying

This was hands down the most simplistic way to install an amp / sub. Great Video!

If he would be my teacher may be i would have scored full on my exams

Awesome video man. Nothing more than what needs to be said, professional without wasting time. Thanks!

This is the easiest and most thorough installation video I've ever seen. I also love that it's being installed on a Mazda 😁

i get a deep joy from watching and reading on most all crutchfield things cause they are true old school audio at its best in modern era!!!!

Clearly the best video on how to connect an amp. Thanks a lot for the video!

Great vid! Just terribly confused when it comes to the wiring of the stock stereo to the amp. :(

Crutchfield's customer service is top notch...you guys really set the standard on how to do business. Thank you!

This guy is simply the best for learn about how to do a SIMPLE instalation!

Easily the most helpful tutorial i have ever seen. I have already installed subs once but i got a new car and needed a refresher and this was just amazing

This is one of the best tutorial videos ever, really simple and easy to understand and it helped me a lot. Thank you for making this video.

I watched a lot of videos on this subject. Specifically on installing a sub and amp to a stock radio. Most of the videos I had a hard time understanding. With this video It just clicked. Probably because he shows everything in a proper order and the recap was the best part. Thanks.

Browsing youtube to find equipment to start my very own project of installing my own car audio system and landed on THIS VIDEO! Theee BEST. I now have a clear paradigm to start somewhere amongst my ignorance lol hehehe. Thanks man. You ROCK!

Thank u so much this video is actually really useful

Why am I watching this? I don't even have a will to live let alone a car

This is the best car ASMR I've heard in a while

This might be the most helpful and well made video on youtube

People never specify. It drives me nuttttssss

Thank you for simplifying this. I don't know much about cars and this was easy to follow

This is the perfect video tutorial. Really informative and straight to the point . Love your work!

This is the most straightforward video on the internet on how to do this. Thanks.

Lmao damn i was hoping for a sound test 💀

Wow, great video! Thank you so much for teaching us! I’m definitely taking on this project next summer. 2022!

Amazing video. It's a little different because I'm getting a new radio but this really did teach me a lot. A+ and thank you for no garbage music in the background

Years ago I installed one hell of a stereo system in my car and I found and used crutchfield let me say they are one of the most informed professional and best stereo companies I have ever worked with they give you more than what you need in the form of technical support directions and instructions and extra paperwork that actually helped me save some of my hearing before blowing it out with the over 6,000 watts of usable power I had again thanks to crutchfield..... Trust me I've tried a few there is no comparison crutchfield by far the best.

Natural teacher. Thx

i like how theres no background music. good tutorial

By far the best video right to the point

You my friend, have created a masterpiece.

For once someone made it super simple to understand. thank you!

Great video just got my 2 12”s today cant wait to hook em up after work

What a clear and informative video, good work 👍

see that folks doing an install like this MADE EASY and it took him JUST under 15 minutes Piece of cake I followed this video and my car sound AMAZING Crutchfield a place you can always find the perfect fit and their staff - true Pros Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Buddy

First of all, I wanna thank you for the great detailed video straight to the point, no single word was useless. We need more tutorial videos like this. 2 things I did differently I had to drill a perfect hole with my exact 4 Guage wire size through my firewall to feed the power cable, I couldn't use the same hole where all my electrical wire went through so I drilled and sealed it with some silicone and black tape and I also had to run my power cable on the driver side and the RCA on the other. Everything works perfectly except for rattling noise from the trunk and I wanted to ask if there is a long time effect to this hole I drilled although everyone on my car model forum seems to be saying they drilled too. Thanks once again

I like to use a little dielectric grease when I mount my power lead to the terminal on the battery and when I sand off a spot for the ground the dielectric grease prevents rust and corrosion also 👍

Watched 10 vids on this topic. This explanation made the most sense. Explained how and why on each step. Perfect. 👍🏾

Im putting myself to the test today on my 78 Silverado K10 Thanks for the teachings 🙏👋

If you have a factory stereo and don't want to open the head unit get some aux and rca splitters. You can also buy a subwoofer with an built in amp which makes installing it easier.

Really informative/well presented video. I personally prefer leaving the connection of the cable to the battery postive until last (after it has been routed/connected to the amp) so that there is minimal risk of it shorting against bare metal - not everyone will disconnect the battery negative 😊.

Finally, one of the best explanations Ive ever seen

this was such a banger, super easy to comprehend

Good idea to wiggle stranded wires after you tighten them under a screw to let them settle into the open areas. It will allow you to tighten the wires down a little more.

Oooh Man, I wanted to hear it when he got done. 😊 It almost seems like he done that before. Lol

Amazing guide! Can’t get any better then that!

you r the best professional installer music system that I know so far...

Flex Lume? Fle- *begins having flex tape flash backs*

It would have been good to have played the stereo before and after. Good in-depth video! Thanks! :)

I will say this is a harder example for a vehicle to use for installation especially having the stock headunit. He did a good job in this video btw

I've been wanting to get an amp and sub in my car as well as a new digital stereo, I already have the aftermarket speakers in and while they do sound okay-ish I think an amp will make them sound way better. I have watched a ton of tutorials already but this one is by far the best one that shows how to get everything working from the very start to the very end while going into detail on how to do everything. After I watch this a couple times I'm pretty sure I'll be confident enough to do all of this by myself, or with a friend :)

Just a small question. if I were to use a sub with a built in amp how would the procedure differ in terms of it's installation?

I have a car here in Oregon and i was wondering if I made a call would you help me install the system into my car? Obviously with payment of course.

This video’s the best I’ve seen…and i didn’t have to look long to figure It out.

Great information sometimes you need to refresh your mind on how to put in and add maps and radio and connectivity Love this video Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

The most difficult thing about installing car audio is running the power cables and wires, especially through the firewall. Second difficult thing is running cables from behind the head unit to the speakers. Once you get those two things down, you're about 90% there. I hate doing those steps but obviously they're necessary.

On stock stereo install don't take apart the dash. Just tap in to the rear speakers using T taps on the speaker wire. And buy a LOC adapter with remote turn on wire

Crutchfield has great customer service and knowledge. They have very good prices on everything. I only buy car audio and video from them.

this guy gives me cool science-teacher vibes. love it

Oh gosh i cannot thank you enough. I do have a question, is the speaker wire to rca converter optional?

so if the battery is in the back...you pretty much got it really easy

I already have 3 cars all with digferent subs and I did just like this. Only watched this to see if the ”proffesionalls” does the same. Am pleased with my result. Great video!

Its been a loooong time since i installed a Amp in my car,here recently Ive felt like installing one and just kinda wanted to watch a video for a refresher course,just like a bicycle,you just never forget how to ride one,lol, the components are niftier and more modern but the steps are still the same,cool.

Instructions not clear ,my alligator drove off a cliff, plz help

If only it was this simple tho lol. I just wired some in my Taurus and it took me 3 hours.

Best video for actually showing how to install an amp.👍🏻

That was the most simple and informative KZfaq tutorial video I have ever watched thanks guys keep it up chur

take a shot every time he says “wire”

Even tho he going step by step, I’m still confused wtfs wrong with me

You guys make finding which wires in the harness are the speaker wires look so easy !!

I cant get over how great of a video this is.

I expected him to say "first thing we are gunna do is clean that engine bay"

can't you just connect the line box to a speaker in the back

Best tutorial ever! Thanks - All the way from Australia!

This video helped out a lot when i was installing sum 12s in my car great video man👍

How do we know which are the right wires

This is a good tutorial but I have a real issue with where you got your source power, you went off of the battery terminal directly and I would think you being a professional shop you would know that you never ever use the battery as power distribution because it will cause galvanic corrosion (corrosion from two different metals touching and the presence of an electrolyte) on the stud and cause more corrosion on the battery terminal and connection causing an internal resistance in the cable to the cranking motor and can be the cause of hard starting. To properly wire ANYTHING extra into a vehicle (lights, speakers, ect) the factory has provided you with a power distribution center that is either near the fuse box under the hood and is maked as accecory power, if the vehicle doesn't have a provided power distribution center from the factory then you go to the cranking motor solenoid and locate the B terminal, it's the biggest on it and made of copper, it has a big cable coming from the battery connecting to it. I just figured I'd drop some useful knowledge on you guys because I see this all the time and it causes so many problems and nobody seems to questions the shady wiring jobs that were done because the shop was truly ignorant of how to do it correctly or they were just too lazy to do it correctly. I feel it is a sad day when almost an entire industry can't follow simple guild lines set by the OEM, I mean they didn't go through all the trouble of giving you options for powering accessories so you could just do it incorrectly and charge people money. As a professional you should pride your self in making any changes to a vehicle be as factory as possible. Sorry if that came off as insulting but I'm just stating that as professionals all work should be done correctly.

the best instructional video on the market of KZfaq ! i can actually learn something new from this guy ! I'm definitely subscribing to your channel .

Very informative video, one of the most clear and simplistic videos, easily showing what you need to do, helped so much :)
