That was going to be my suggestion as well. Yeah I think I'm going to go with this. I was told toolmaker isn't taking orders atm so I hit up project db with a message.

Don't think im going to be able to use the stinger adapters they are just too long. I think the best way might be to either use a distro block right before cuz I think I can fit 4ga in there, or have some adapters build by project db that would fit. I just sent him a pm so hope I can get this figured out soon before the sub gets here.

Ran into my first speed bump. Finally got everything to fit nicely but I have one issue. The amp sits low to the floor and leaves me with no room for the adapters and it would even be tough putting the power and negative 1/0 in directly with shaving. What do you think I should do? I can only get about another inch clearance for the bottom if I screw the amp more up and to the right of the rack. I cant use the power and ground at the top because the red power line is as long as it will go. I would have to run a new line if I wanted to do that, which I do have extra wire, it will just be black. Hmm... I got some thinking to do... any opinions?

Thanks honda Test ran the 1/0ga to 4ga input adapters and they were a tad too big. Filed down the edges a tinny bit and fits nicely now. They are very secure when tightened so I dont think they will ever touch but do you think I should wrap them in electrical tape or let the chrome shine?

Nice man glad you like it. My amp rack is actually too easy that its tripping me out. I literally just cut 2 sides out of a spare shelf I had lying around in the garage. It 3/4in so its actually perfect. Then I'm going to wrap it in some extra black stretchy carpet I had lying around and "voila." I can just screw my amp flat on it and the factory amp/mount on the back side. I got pretty lucky that the 1200D is the absolute perfect size for my car's factory amp mount.

My SAX-1200D came in today! Was a little nervous at first cause ive never purchased referbed but pretty happy with what I got so far. There was only 2 small scratches that were easily hidden with a black sharpie. Going to be able to get 90% of the build complete now with the amp in. Either going to work on the mount tonight or this weekend. Take a look..

Just got all the wiring laid down yesterday and reversed the stock amp. The LC2i is wired and the GTO is working. I ran a run for remote in anyways just in case. All the wire is ran along the factory wire with many zip ties. Everything has fit perfectly so far. I disconnected the sub the factory sub to hook everything correctly to the LC2i. Pretty sure I wont need to take the panels off again. Think the best way to mount the amp on the stock amp mount would be to used a block of wood like a baffle. I could cover it with stretchy black carpet I got laying around. Cant get that done till my SAX-1200D get here. The only wire missing is the amp ground for obvious reasons. Silver/Black = RCA Brown/Yellow = Factory sub (-) White/Yellow = Factory sub (+) Copper = LC2i Power (+/-) Silver = Remote in Blue = Remote out Red = Amp power (+) Also laid the speaker wire for the sub but forgot to take a good picture of it. Its larger silver/black knu 12ga. (sorry for the bad pictures)

Man it was actually quite a battle. Really wish I replaced the nut and bolt the first time I took it off instead of forcing it back on and making it twice as tough. Wasn't thinking there... I think that is all im going to do for the big 3 though. The stock wire is 2ga as well so I should be just fine. Going to lay all the speaker wire and get the lc2i mostly plugged up tomorrow after my class... but for now I gotta get back to studying calculus

redone the battery (-) to ground with a new nut and bolt and flat ring terminals. I came, I saw, and I conquered. Just to give you an idea I used a different ring terminal and cut the side instead to fit better New nut and bolt after an hour of removing the stripped stock one. This made my hands bleed quite a lot. By the way it is a thousand times easier to remove if you unhook everything and use a table vice to hold the square head. I had to take it to a local ACE cause I got rid of my old table vice thinking I'd never need it.... Everything fits real nicely now. Got the nut on there real tight with everything nice and flat. If your ring terminal doesn't fit, just trim it down with some sheer cutters.

Yeah I love it so far and have hardly got to drove it. Should be getting my license back very soon . And eventually i'll spend some bucks and get the xenon lights those things are pure sex. Glad to have you!

Started laying some wire last night. Got the (+) run for the amp layed down. I ordered 5ft and it took every single inch but I think it is going to be perfect. If not I got extra wire laying around but I wanted it to be all red. Still have the negative then laying the speaker wire down but I was having trouble with me negative on the battery. The nut to loosen up the battery terminal doesnt seem to come off all the way. I almost forced it off but got to sketched out cause it felt like I was going to snap it. I should be getting an answer from the Audi forums on what to do on the matter shortly. The fuse holder has some heavy duty mounting tape under it and is also zip tied to the wire thats held on the ground. That thing is in there real solid. I dont have the fuse in so dont worry about getting grounded everything fine . I'd like to thank knu for sending me the correct fuse when I fucked up the order.

Thanks Shogen glad to have you

Thanks guys should lay some wire today in anticipation if I get around to it. Shouldnt be getting the next package till wednesday. Joker you making a build log for it? Grats man.

This was my first. My dad accidentally sold the system in the car while I was on vacation . 18 BL and Sundown 1500 along with a bunch of other stuff.

Got my information wrong they split my order cause they had to get the LC2i from somewhere else. They shipped my 18ga wire that im using for power and remote on the LC2i. Along with 2 1/0 to 4ga input adapters that I hope will fit.

First order came in today! Got some wire from Knu and should be receiving my LC2i later today. 1/0gauge Knu Fleks 12gauge Karma SS RCA Karma SS 1/0 Knu in-line fuse holder Dont worry about the length my battery is in the trunk already Going to be mounting the factory amp behind its original mount. And somehow mount the new amp where the factory amp used to be. Might be a little tricky but I should be able to find a way to make it work. If I cant, I can always mount the factory amp above the wheel well. Thats it for now. Maybe I will route some wire tomorrow.

Not much of an update, just used the last sheet of damplifier pro I had laying around. Cut it into 3 sheets and put them in the spare tire well.

I actually did go with 1/0gauge knu fleks someone caught me before I ordered. Thanks welcome in

Hi Sencheezy welcome! Thanks. Just ordered everything late last night should get it in about a week.

Thanks welcome in 16k

Haha those 2 barely beat u too it. Welcome fighter . I wanted to order everything tonight but knu is out of 4gauge wire so they are delaying me

Forgot to change the main post but I'm going to get the Audiocontrol LC2i. Ive heard from multiple sources including head shops that it is the best solution to adding a sub/amp to the factory head unit of an Audi A4 B8. Thanks for the mention though. ^.^

Thank you ricksi. Welcome!

Got the trunk deadened today. Still have 1sqft of damplifier left to use after everything is installed. I can put it in the spare tire well but I like how everywhere I put it so far has been completely hidden.

any eta on the 1200D?
