Yes, i've fiberglassed a little. I ended up squeezing some rubber pads between the console and the floorboard (on the speaker side), and the buzzing stopped for the most part. If I turn the bass way up, the sub rattles off the console's grill a little, but 95% of the time I have the bass set...

Thank you everyone for your help these last few weeks, I managed to stretch this project out a little longer by installing an amp kill switch inside the ash tray; but it's finally over. Pictures can be found here: Jeep subwoofer and amplifier install | PhillipYu.com

A relay really isn't a problem, I've already wired a few things behind my dash and there are places where I can tap into a constant 12v power source. What type of relay would you recommend for this switch?

thanks guys, ya, I eat fast food in my jeep alot (with the engine off), and would just like to be able to kill the amp and still listen to the radio. I thought that might not be enough power to illuminate the switch. I don't care that much if it lights up or not, I just want to be sure i'm...

okay, I think someone should be able to answer this pretty easy. I'm just not 100% on how to wire this switch and it came with basically no directions. It's an illuminated rocker switch with three prongs, and a crappy sticker that says 'EARTH, LOAD, SUPPLY'...i get that I think --> ground...

Thanks, but removing the grill would mean hacking up the center console. I don't want to lose the stock look or advertise that I have that sub in there. Would tightening the console/grill down onto the face of the sub be a bad idea? This would be the easiest thing to do, and it seems like it...

I recently installed an 8" in a custom box to go inside my center console (see pic), it sounds great EXCEPT it bumps against the center console's plastic grill and since the sub is a little bigger than the grill and not perfectly centered, it bumps against the inside of the center console a...

thanks ace, you're the man

One other question on the speaker wire input the amp: I'm only using one sub, so I want to wire it according the installation manual's 'Bridged' diagram?

thanks for the replies, yes, i will be using the remote 'punch level control', i just mounted it today (nothing is hooked up yet though). What is the optimal way to use the gain level on the amp and the punch level control? thanks again, i realize some of my questions probably seem silly

Okay, I know very little about tweaking an amp and subwoofer, so I hope you all can tell me how to adjust the amp. The subwoofer is a Kenwood 8" in a sealed box. The box is probably a little smaller than the recommended cubic feet, I've stuffed it with polyfill to help that, but keep that in...

hehe, just ordered the 8 gauge kit from Knu, the random wires and whatnot that I originally planned on using now seems like a pretty idiotic idea. thanks for all the help folks

thanks man

eh ****; i guess i gotta blow some more money...but i'm glad i asked; i want to do it right...thanks guys   ---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------   what about the switched power wire that i plan on running to the stereo wiring harness? that's...

rated power: 125x1 @ 4 ohms / 250x1 @ 2 ohms battery fuse rating: 25A fuse on the amp: 30A so 8 guage is the way to go? and stupid question, but the ground wire size isn't as crucial, right?
