Hey thanks for all your help iasskicker,

but i just took it to a local audio shop for them to wire up. Cost me $130...i know i got raped but he knew what he was doing. All he had to do was wire up the amp & sub. Also got charged $30 for the trigger module.

 

130 isn't that bad of a price. i've seen worse.

 

Damn $130!!!!!!!!!!!
I did all this in my garage in under 2 hours, the longest was tapping the rcas in.
BTW, amp upgrade is in my near future: Diablo Audio Technologies 2500.1 is coming soon!

 

Yea, i tried to do it all myself but i could not figure out how to wire the thing up. Owell it bumps now though.

 

Awww should of asked us questions! Come on now, I'm 16 and got this down pretty well hahaha
But anyways, glad to hear that it is sounding good. BTW, just wondering what kind of wire they used (4 or 0 for power)?

 

I was asking questions but this was the first time i have ever tried to install a sound system with no prior knowledge of audio whatsoever. Got everything done except for wiring up the amp.

As for the wire, im not sure but i used the one that came in the kit.

Question: Did you guys use silicone to seal the hole you made in the fire grommet?

 

Yes I did.

 

Well I didn't have a choice lol. It was either do it myself or get my car raped by a shop (wasn't letting that happen to my baby!)
But I got it perfect 0 problems to speak of besides my amp getting hot at low impedances (cursed hifonics!)

Since I used thick gauge I actually put a piece of duct tape on there and silicones over that. 0 leaks!

 

Oh i guess i should seal the hole with some silicone then just to be safe.

 

Definitely! Other wise the passenger side of your car will be soaked when it rains.

 

hey $130 isnt bad....i was quoted just shy of $200!! Damn crooks! and....i bet they would have wired it up different then what everyone here suggests!
so i will definately try this install myself with iasskicker's DIY....

 

Sweet! I wish I had some pictures, but I wrote this a month after the fact lol
But when I take my current amp out and make a second run of 1/0 I'll take pics

 

i will try and take pics as i go...and mate them to your DIY (if u dont beat me to it)...it will probably be another 3-4 weeks before i get it done (still trying to figure out a good solution for a box...i like the 4080 box but way too pricey...and everything else wont clear the roughly 10'' height clearance that would allow me to but a box right up against the rear seat (i need to retain trunk space)

 

I used the Zenclosures box. Fits fine and theres still room in the trunk. Heres some pics of oOmikeyboy's setup. I hope he doesn't mind. I have the same exact setup has he does and let me tell u it bumps!

 

I'm gonna build 1.75 cube box that fire in soon, And fits flush with the end of the wheel well sealed off from the rest of the trunk. TBH, I don't see how that sounds good at all, looks like the sub is drowning out because it's sealed from the cabin, sealed from the trunk will always get louder.
