great thanks alot for your help man appreciate it im gunna have to gather some supplies now ha
radio amp and subs
i blew out my stock radio playing when i bought some new 6x9's so i bought a poineer radio and i sliced into the power wires from the stock radio and ran all the speaker wires my self to the doors and back deck.. the stock monsoon amp is no longer in use in my car. I also ran my own wires for my new amp which is a rockford fosgate p2 amp and subs not sure if i should hook my stock amp back up any suggestions hit me up at [email protected]

okay so i've been refeering to this thread for awhile for instructions, so i bought a 15" alpine type r sub and 1000 watt alpine amp. i bought a 4 farad capacitor and a 5000 watt earthquake wireing kit for the amp. So im going to use a schosche line converter like everyone else so for that all im supposed to do is take 2 positive wires to the positive side on the speaker and 2 to the negative side and then put them into the 1,2,3,4 wholes in pairs correct? also where is the best place to put the remote wire? I was wondering if i can put it in the back fuze box or if i should go to the one on the passenger front side. any extra tips are well needed and appreciated i barely know what im doing but have a friend helping me. will also need lotsa tips for capacitor please and thank you everyone

i know nothing about the capacitor but i believe one of the guys earlier on in this thread had one so if didn't explain it i'm sure you can shoot him a message. As for using the LOC, you splice into the 4 wires coming out of the rear 6x9's (2 on each speaker). you're loc should have a diagram on which color lines up with which wire on the rear speakers ya gotta get it right. best place for a remote would be any fuse that goes live when you turn the key to any position (at least thats what i did so i could still listen to my subs even when my engine isn't running) - i put it in the windshield wiper fuse its somewhere in the passenger kickpanel box. run your remote and power up one of the side runners or the remote on the passenger side and the pwoer going up the driver side out the firewall to the battery. everything else is pretty much plug n play hope this helps ya out
thanks man but one question for the line converter most people it seems are just using one speaker should i use both back speakers instead? but okay rest seems straight forward then ill do the same as the windshield whiper fuse then too.i know nothing about the capacitor but i believe one of the guys earlier on in this thread had one so if didn't explain it i'm sure you can shoot him a message.

Hello so i was going to get everything set up with my g6 but i hit a problem with my firewall. so i found the little plugs by the brake pedal but when i cut the rubber theres hard plastic in behind am i supposed to drill through it or is there another way plz help fast!
i drilled then resealed with silicone once the project was 100% done
I managed to stuff 4awg wire through the grommet that the hood release goes through. Didn't need to cut anything
Thanks alot to you and the others that commented i will probably do this most likely but im gonna look for that grommet to see if i can stuff my 4 gauge into it too. seems tricky tho and what one did u drill through the hole farthest left or the middle one?i drilled then resealed with silicone once the project was 100% done
I drilled right through the firewall anywhere you want to
There so i Drilled through the firewall and got all the wiring and everything done in my car i have been hitting alot of problems for it. I wanted to run the wire under the trim but i found out u have to go all the way up to the freaken seat belt to take it off so i just kinda pushed it under the trim at the bottom. I also shorted out my battery so i have to buy a whole new battery because im borrowing my friends right now. The original car battery is only 525 CCA my new one is going to be 950CCA so quite a jump hopefully this one can put up with the sub. So i have a 1000 WATT pyle Driver amp that puts out 600 watt rms when bridged to my 4ohm 15" alpine type R. I have a 4 farad capacitor so it is plenty big to keep up with the power but i am worried about the alternator. With a big battery and big capacitor what do you guys think about the Alternator do you think it will keep up? Also i installed a Sony CDX gt 710 with the turbo 2 metra kit and I LOVE it! it look's so nice and makes the stock sound so much better. If anyone needs tips on that i can help
for the trim, the easiest thing i found was just to pull it away from the doors and b pillar, but dont worry about the piece higher up on the b-pillar. you will have enough room like this to run the wire. I also took part of a clothes hanger and taped it along the end of the wire to make it easier to push through. What size wire are you running?
I think you may run into problems with the alternator, but im sure you'll easily notice if you are having issues

yah i just gave up on trying to run it through the trim. and damn even with only a 1000 watt amp you think it will be hard on the alternator? damn i was hopeing it wouldnt be to big. Because 1000 watts divided by the 12 volt current is 83.3 Amps, Also not sure if this works but the 600 watt rms for the 4ohm divided by 12 is only 50 amps. I believe the car's alternator puts out 90 amps but i could be wrongfor the trim, the easiest thing i found was just to pull it away from the doors and b pillar, but dont worry about the piece higher up on the b-pillar. you will have enough room like this to run the wire.

i thought it was more like 115A but i really have no idea. I'm currently running a 1600W amp at 800-900W for my sub and a 127W at 60-70W amp for my speakers and have minimal light dim on the stock alternator and stock battery
Oh and to answer your other question my power and ground are 4 gauge wire, and my speaker wire to sub i think is 16 or 12? I also have another question i ran outa 4 gauge wire so one side of the capacitor for power is going to be 4 gauge and the ground will only be like 6 or 8 gauge? does that matter or do i have to buy more 4 gauge?
buy more 4 gauge. because then you could be trying to push too much power through the smaller ground wire, which could potentially cause it to catch fire
oh if your running a 1600 watt and another amp for speakers i should be good with big battery and only 1000 watt amp. i may look at a 1600 watt one too cuz it pumps out 900 watt rms for the big 15" type-r but i think 1000 will be good enough for me. You are probably right with the 115 amps i was just takeing a stab at the 90 amps because i heard vehicles newer then 2004 are around 90 ampsi thought it was more like 115A but i really have no idea. I'm currently running a 1600W amp at 800-900W for my sub and a 127W at 60-70W amp for my speakers and have minimal light dim on the stock alternator and stock battery
