can someone send me the link to the website that u just plug in the numbers for amps subs and impedance's...i feel really handicaped right now i cant find it anywere thanks

Alright. Today is such a good day out that I decided to start getting somethings tossed into the car (FINALLY!). I popped off the door panels (easy) and the floor panels (pain in the ass) to start running wires. I popped out the cd player as well and kind of went oh s**** because its a wiring nightmare in there... I have been looking around online now for at least an hour for wiring diagrams to see what goes to where and so far no luck... Any ideas where I can look (or does anybody have one?). The wiring diagram that came with the cdplayer is generic and doesn't look like its correct.

Okay so im hooking up my new system and i dont know what to get for my fuses or my distribution block. Im going to run 3 amps connected to a powermaster D1200 battery. An alpine 650 mono, 2 channel Rockford punch 550x2, and a Sundown SAE 1200D. What distribution blocks would work? Fuses? Gauge sizes? How would i hook up the battery to the amps and other battery? Anyway, any help will help. Thanks everybody.

I'm new to car audio and i need help to figure out what wires and/or wiring kits would be a good purchase for me. My system: 2 Fi Q12's fully loaded (subs) Fi: 2 Alpine SPR-13s (speakers/ 4 total) Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. 1 Audioque 2200D (amp for subs) Audioque: Amps: AQ2200D 1 Alpine PDX-4. 100 (amp for speakers) Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. 1 Alpine CDA-105 ( head unit) Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. I was looking to get wiring stuff off of knukonceptz.com but give me other websites please, and help me find all the wire i'm going to need. thank you

I ordered all my wiring, blocks, fuses from Knukonceptz. Great prices, quality products and good communication. Tell him Pete from CEG recommended him to you - might not get you anywhere, but who knows - .

I havent really heard much about wiring full range speakers. I am hoping to get a new amp for my sub and i was wondering if i could wire both my front and back door speakers with my 2 channel powerbass asa 400.2 it should put out about 200 rms times 2 at 2 ohms and i didnt know if you could wire door speakers together or not.... I just havent heard anything about it. My reasoning is because they have to direct the freq to two different places so idk if both speakers would get all the signal... Lol its a noob question i know...

I'm almost embarrassed to be asking this but I want to do my own instal for the first time since 1995 and I know there are some major pros on this site, here goes... I'm keeping the factory radio, no NAV, no amplifier on my 2013 JEEP Wrangler with the stock 6 speaker system. I plan on using my Audio Control LC2i as a line driver and purchasing a PPI 900.4 and mounting under the dash. I bought a Bravox component system from this forum for the front and have replaced the sound bar coaxles with a pair of Alpine type S's I picked up for $25. I'm using deck power for the sound bar, I hated the idea of rear speakers at first but a Jeep is a rolling compromise, and will us…

What kind of wiring am i going to need, assuming 1/0 gauge? So far i have: SUB: Fi 15" BL AMP: saz-1500 ENCLOSURE: 3.8ft^3 @ 32 hz i have no clue how much and what kind of wiring i am going to need.

I just got my new amp (hifonics bxi 2010d) and wired up, but yet Im getting no sound out put to my subs? :S I know the amp's getting power because the amp power light is on and the amp lights up blue. The thing that confuses me is that my old amp worked just fine and I go to swap amps hook everything up and yet no sound out put. I have no idea what couldcause this. Anyone know whats going on?

I just received my SSA Icon D2 sub today after a longgg wait, between the box, and then the sub. So I am anxious to get everything installed, but I don't want to make any mistakes. I've been looking at this wiring diagram to wire it in parallel to 1ohm. And then from the manual I am planning on wiring it like the top picture. I'm a little confused by the diagram in the manual, I can just connect to 1 positive and 1 negative, right? I will set the gains using the stickied tutorial. What should the subsonic filter and LPF be set at? Are these lower and upper cutoffs for what frequencies my subwoofer will play? Bass boost and phase should be set at zero, correct? Are …

OK I got an LED rocker switch from O'reillys to turn h/u on and off on the powerwheels like an ignition. If I hook up the wire from my fuse block to the hot side and the load wire to either other post I get the led but no h/u. If I hook up all 3 posts (pos,load,neg) I blow a fuse as soon as I flip the switch. I don't know if running the red and yellow wire together causes to much draw, or if the ground isnt really a ground? But I'm confused and slightly annoyed...

WHat kind of wiring kit should i get for a 1000 watt amp 2 channel?

is knukonceptz kolossus fleks the best 0 gauge wiring kit out there? seems like a great deal. just got my elite audio kit in from sonic electronix today and not pleased...definitely sending back for some store credit. setting up a hifonics brutus brz2400 running an 18in Fi bl btw. also looking at an audio technix big 3 upgrade kit. reason i'm not just buying the wire and terminals etc myself is because i dont think im experienced enough or have the proper equipment to be setting up a high quality wiring upgrade. here's the link to the audio technix. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technix-1-0-GA-Gauge-OFC-Silver-Tinned-Wire-Big-3-Wiring-Upgrade-Kit-5-/110986503556?vxp=mtr&…

Hey everyone, I am taking the car in tomorrow to get my amps installed and I need to go get a wiring kit. I am looking for some quick advice on what I need and what gauge wire, I really would rather purchase this before hand then get overcharge at the shop. I want to go ahead and get all the wiring I will need for 2 sundown 1200's and a Sundown 100.4 I also am having a friend do the Big Three, What wire type/gauge will I need for that. I am only going to be running 1 or the 1200's and a older 2 channel amp, but I want them them to go ahead and install all of them so when I get the electrics upgraded I can go ahead and have it ready. Thx Josh P.S. I am having this …

How do u wire multiple batteries? I know that you start at the alt. then wire from alt to batt. but then would you wire the positive side of batterie to the next batterie on the positive side and then continue if you have more batt?

I have 2 of the same type of batts, then another one of a diff brand. The 2 have like 80 something a/h and hold like 1000 amps or something, and then the one has 100 or so a/h and like 1200 amps of storage. Stock battery from what I know up front, 200 amp alt, and I will be putting in a Audioque 2200d (unless I find a more powerful one for a better price). I have 2/0 welding cable, a good amount. I was planning on doing the big 3 with this, then wire from the positive battery under the hood to the batteries in the back. I can't decide which setup to use, the 2 batts, single batt, or like all 3? Would it be better to run negative and a postive to the back? All I need for…

I plan to wire my sub to my amp like this, My question is, would it be the same if i ran 1 positive wire out of 1 positive terminal on the amp into 1 positive terminal on the voice coil and the other positive terminal on the amp to the other positive terminal on the other voice coil and the same for the negative?

Hi all, need some help, planning on installing my 200amp alt today. I see the factory wiring in my 98 GMC jimmy has an 8 guage going from (i think) alternator all the way to the fuse box then back to the battery? correct? now i have a piece of 4 gauge from a previous install around 16" long. the big question is can i just run directly from the alt to the battery? and if so what do i do with the factory stuff going to the fuse box? just leave it? or will that blow the fuse in the fuse box and cause problems? or should i disconnect it and just let it dangle? my battery is a 3 year old (weak) ac delco 680 c.a or c.c.a cant remember, and i did ground the battery to the frame …

i have my Viper 2500.1D on 13' of 1/0 (OFC) power wire and 2' of ground (CCA). I have a 2500W inverter that I am going to install and need to run more wires for. I have a group 49AGM directly under the truck where the amps are. I have some pure copper 2/0ga wiring that im going to use for power and ground. the power inverter and the viper both have dual 4ga inputs for both power and ground instead of single 0ga. what connectors would you recommend for the dual 4 to 2/0 connections? would it be preferred to run the current 0ga to the power inverter and then run new 2/0ga to the battery under the truck? so as im typing this im thinking: it would be best to just use a…

hey guyz.. having a little problem with my 4200 avh pioneer. I pulled it out doing some little maitnence and then when i put the wire plug to the back of the deck and started it it wouldnt turn on. I drive a 06 escalade and i have to use a wire harness with a interface on it. so what i did was make sure nothing grounded and re connected the power ground and constant yellow and still nothing. then when i unplugged the interface and plugged back in it turned on for about 5 seconds and then shut off again. Could this be a bad interface? or what could it be? please help. thanks

I'm replacing a friends factory front door speakers and running all after market stuff minus the H/U. Is it possible for me to use a few feet of the factory speaker wire and them solder some 14ga wire to run to the aftermarket amps. I know this sounds really crappy, but this SUV (Ford Edge) is a real sh&t when it comes to going from the door into the cab.

Okay, i got my amp and i know what subs im going to buy. Amplifier: Kenwood KAC-9104D Woofers: 2 x Fli Frequency 15 400W RMS each 1200W MAX each Single voice coil 4 ohms each http://akustika.ee/pood/index.php?GID=1971...mp;currency=EEK sorry this page is in another language but hopefully you get basic info if needed. Question is, if i wire these two subs in parallel the resistance is going to be 2 ohms ?

Hey all.I have a question about wiring subs.I have 2 dual 4 ohm subs.Now I know to wire to 1 ohm i would connect + to + and - to - on each sub then run a wire from the + on one sub to the + on the other and the same thing with the -.Ok here is my question.I just got a different box today.I dont have enough speaker wire to do it the way i mentioned above and plus i would ave to run the wire behind the port and I dont know if that would be ok or not.So what i did was wire each sub to 2 ohm by itself by connecting + + and - - on each sub.SO,when i connect both subs to my amp that way will it still be a 2 ohm load or what will he load be?Thanks

Whats going on SSA. Need some advice on this wiring/electrical decision I need to make. I was running ~1000wrms on my old setup, I currently have a single run of 4 gauge Knu OFC (~20 feet) to the back where I have a distribution block. Now I upgraded amps and I will be running ~1400wrms (changed amps more because of space constraints, bigger box so less space for amps). Amplifiers have fuse ratings of 120 and 50 amps. Now Knu claims a maximum rating of 150 amps on their 4 gauge (even though they provide a 120 amp fuse for their kit), I was wondering if I should add another run of 4 gauge to the back so I would have separate runs for each amp. Or would a run of Knu 8 …

I will be starting my build log as soon as I get a job, either this month (hopefully) or next month (at the latest) so I want to do everything right any buy the book. I drive a 2003 Saturn Ion with stock alternator for now(depending if I run my sub amp at 1 ohm or 2 ohms) and I have done the Big 2 (Grounds - Engine Block to Frame / 1run and Battery to Frame / 2runs) in Kicker HyperFlex 1/0 AWG. I will be using a Kenwood KDC-X492 (will be upgrading after the build is complete) for head unit with a Epic Center 160 for voltage and bass in older recordings since I listen to a lot of old school music. The subs have not been decided on and the interior speakers have not been de…
