In my Jeep there are extra spots in the interior fuse panel. I hooked mine up there with a 15A fuse, makes the install way easier since I don't need to fish through the firewall.

You need to get someone with an oscilloscope to set the gain. Otherwise I wouldn't play with bass boost other than to turn it off, the crossover you should set around 80 to 100hz. That power wire is going to fray if you leave it against the bare metal, it needs to be passed through the grommet you ran it beside. The remote wire you tapped is a short circuit risk since you cut the excess off after tapping, it needs to be taped up. Other than that I enjoyed the video. Hope this info helps you.

An oscilloscope? hahahaha An oscilloscope measures the output of the amp it doesn't listen to all of the amps in the car to set the gain, good grief. One more thing there was an end to the remote wire before he cut it and I would also add that using TAPE isn't very becoming.

Hi, Can you merge the 2 rca plugs into 1 subwoofer output of the headunit?

That green wire looks a little thin for the power, why are you not using the red wire that is supplied?

Nice walkthrough. Too bad they don't make cable management channels in cars like they do PC cases. Speaking of; maybe it's my PC speakers, but I can still hear the WUB-WUB's through your camera mic.

With the RCA input do you have to switch to low input on the sub?

Gain should usually be 30% and crossover just shy of 100. But it's personal preference. Just if you go too high, it'll blow.

@@metamonkey4262 I ended up buying the hs10, it doesn’t quite fit properly under the seat because of the track bars for the seat to move back and forth but I made it fit, it doesn’t sound that bad but doesn’t sound the the greatest when it’s up loud because it’s a shallow sub

Would you recommend this subwoofer? I've already replaced the factory speakers in my Wrx with the Kicker upgrade speakers and tweeters, which is MUCH better than stock, but wanting a little more bass
@SimplyMod85
@SimplyMod85 Жыл бұрын
I would go for this only if you just need a little more bass and need trunk space. If I were to do it again, I would get the 10" sub for a bit more bass.

I feel like this is such a small sub that if I put it in the trunk I might not get the full thump than if I put it under the passenger seat.

Man please do some research on audio before making a video showing people what to do... Sure that janky and mega thin power cable might work for the hideaway, because it's only like 100w's or something. As for where to put the positive terminal, it doesn't matter. It's all making contact to the terminal, and your amp isn't strong enough for it to matter anyways. However anyone watching should NOT follow what this guy is doing. Did you check to even see if your amp can support high level? Does the high level input on your amp have RCA? Or is it a different connector? I just don't understand the reasoning on wanting to save every penny on a car you enjoy driving, and enjoy taking care of.... Like idk if you're like my Dad and have that Asian way of thinking that "oh that specialty cable made for amps is just marketing fluff to charge extra money. I'll make it myself" although half true, there's a reason amp power kits have beefy gauge wires, and there's a reason why LOC exists, and theres a reason why proper cables exist for all this stuff. So you don't end up with a janky setup that can have potential risks. Like you're obviously very proud of your car and what not.... Treat it like you do. Don't cheap out. From modifying a bunch of cars... Trust me. It's just better to wait and save up money and do it properly... Instead of trying to save a penny, and doing it jank and potentially causing more problems. As for the gain and all that.... Just read the manual and it'l ltell you how to set your gain and crossovers.

To add on to what@@YTsurferr said; at least make the slightest attempt to familiarize yourself with the product before flaming their perceived “poor execution”. The amp has a switch to toggle between low and high, and a built in, replaceable fuse to prevent damage. Doing even the bare minimum of research, you will find that 1/0 copper wire is the specification for a run under 10ft; which is what came included in the kit. Any larger, you start to get parasitic resistant, which reduces power, which reduces performance. He also, correctly installed the inline fuse inside the engine bay, as far from the amp as it could be. His self made audio cables are not as high quality as store bought, sure; however; the performance lost would be negligible unless he is listening to lossless audio files. He followed the instructions, and took the time to cleanly run the wires. It was a clean installation, and those that buy the system should feel confident following his tutorial.

My favorite part was when he routed that thin wire from the battery through the firewall going completely around around the wire grommet. As that little wire ages it's going to arc on the body causing a fire.
Installing speakers? These techniques make a BIG difference!
