for my sub, the set screw connection won't fit (2) 10 gauge wires so that I can do a parallel connection I am switching to 14 gauge wire so that I can do the parallel connection in the sub box interior. Should I also change the wire to 14 gauge from the amp to the sub box? Are there any...

if you have an automatic transmission, there should be a grommet hole for the clutch to go through the firewall this is what I'm using on my WRX

What would be the best autostart kit to do this? The factory makes autostart systems for different models than mine and they have an OEM looking remote for the autostart. Can I program the OEM looking remote to work with any autostart system? I could really use some help finding the best...

okay, so now that I have everything working with my system, I am noticing another slight problem. When the car is off, the video signal on my in-dash monitor comes in clean and without interference. When I put the key in the on position, and the fuel pump primes, etc., the video signal gets...

if 14 gauge wire is too small, could it cause a short? Is there a way to test the wattage to find out how much wattage my sub is pulling? I have a voltmeter

What is the correct wire size for the 450 watts that I'm looking for? would 14 gauge work?

Cool, so I should probably rewire to get the 2 ohm power out of the sub. The reason that I wired them in series like that is that I can't fit two wires into the sub's set screw connector. I am using 10 gauge wire and only one fits into the set screw connector. Do I just cut about half of the...

okay, so maybe I'm running at two ohms. I don't know, so I was hoping someone could tell me according to how I have explained how it is wired. amp: Diamond Audio D3 600.1 sub: PG Xenon X10D4 I mainly just want to make sure it is wired right. It works fine, so I assume so, but I could use...

I have my 4 ohm DVC sub wired with the voice coils in series from a bridged connection to my amp: + from amp to DVC1 + ; - from DVC1 to DVC2 + ; - from DVC2 to amp - what did I do? is this correct? am I running at 4 ohms? it works well, but should I be wiring it a different way?

It turned out to be the head unit. I was having other problems with the navigation stuff on it and I think there is something wrong with it internally. I remade the harness to connect to the replacement head unit that I have and everything works fine now. I followed the capacitor instructions...

The only thing that I installed is the sub, amp, and cap. The speakers in the doors are just the stock ones connected directly to the stereo with no aftermarket amp. I think maybe that when I installed the cap it did something to the speakers in the doors. The reason I got the cap is because...

I'm a little new with this and am not sure what this means, can you please explain more?

Pioneer AVIC-N2 head unit with the earlier setup I had, everything worked fine, I installed the amp for the sub to the rca jacks at the head unit and everything worked fine, later I decided to go with a more powerful amp, louder sub and a stiffening capacitor, and can't get any sound from the...

I just recently installed my sub and amp and capacitor. Before I did the install, the stereo sound worked fine for the speakers in the doors. After installing the amp, cap, and sub, the stereo turns on fine (it's a navi unit and it shows everything), but I have no sound. If I turn it all the...
