Well that worked for a short drive. The sound cutting in and out is back. Again, driving with the clutch pressed in everything works. Release the clutch and drive in any gear and the sound cuts in/out. It’s very sporadic now. I can drive a few miles with no problem and then some...

Kickstand I took your recommendation for the wiper fuse and tapped into the radio fuse instead of connecting to the open accessory slot and that did the trick. The accessory slot must have been tied to the clutch safety switch. Thanks all!

I connected the red power wire from the HU to an open slot on the fuse block labeled accessory. Sounds like a good plan to try the wipers. (T-top, no sunroof). Any suggestion of how to tap into a slot that has a fuse already?

Z28 it is. The wires are well away from and above the clutch pedal that I installed. I’ll pull back the carpet and look around where the clutch goes into the motor. I’ve had so few miles on the car since the install. Not likely a wear problem. It started from after the install. It’s...

It is a 1980 camaro. I didn’t use any of the original wiring. Ran all new.

Hello folks. I have a retrosound Hermosa stereo with pioneer D9605 amplifier. It’s all set up and works great, except while driving I noticed that the sound cuts in and out (while driving, clutch released)...then when I press the clutch down, it works perfect. Every time the cut outs starts, I...

The 3003 pioneer speaker. I’ll reach out to shredder2. Thanks!

Thanks Jeff. I have a wood shop, so building is easy if I knew a good design. Does anyone have a link or info on design? I don’t have acoustics knowledge. My son is a guitar player so he may have some insight, but doesn’t know about sub box design.

Ported vs sealed sub box. The best I can tell is that a sealed box has a consistent sound, but needs more amp to bring out the thump. How much amp? And if ported is the way to go, how to I tell if what I’m seeing in the add is good|better than sealed? Any box that has an opening to the...

Thanks guys. Booming, is this the sub you are referencing? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GDULGG8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 That would be cheaper and hooked to my pioneer amp sub output, should thump pretty good.

I installed a pioneer amplifier in my car. Sounds good. I’m looking to add a 12” sub in the trunk. I found what looks to be a good sub, but it has a sub built in. Can I run the speaker wires from the sub output of the pioneer amp to this sub...it has a built in sub. Or do I need to splice...

Ok guys, I picked up this AMP. I’m thinking I’ll need to install it in the trunk as it doesn’t look to fit under the seat. What tips do you have for the wiring? What about the power, do I need to hook it up direct to the battery? For a newbie, what can you tell me on the how? Need some...

Thanks Booming and Youdoofus. A bit over my head. What is “hu” for instance. I do expect kick panel speakers are a must. I would rather not modify the doors for value of the car. Interesting you say the rears are not needed. Hard for me to understand that. Say I have two kick panel...

Booming, $600 wouldn’t scare me. I have a solid stereo and nothing else yet. My rears are junk. The 80 camaro has a spot for a center dash speaker (no speaker remaining). No door speakers. I’m planning to modify the kick panels to hold speakers. So rears first and an AMP to support...

Anyone, Anyone’s? Simple recommendations on an AMP and 6x9’s will help. Not rocket science, just trying to make a more educated decision. Thanks guys.
