wiring

I built some apillars this week that have a 3.5 inch hole and a 2 inch hole. Im running all Deaf Bonce arnold mids and highs and they do not make a 3.5 or 4 inch mid so I have my t25 tweeters in the 3.5 spot and im going to put a smaller tweeter in the 2 inch spot for now until i figure out...

First post, so take it easy on me. For context, I had my previous set up (simple amp/subs/aftermarket HU setup) working just fine. I just finished rewiring it all with a better quality wiring kit, and added a capacitor as well. Im running 600 watt amp to two 10” subs, ive got battery positive...

Question as per the title. Thinking the answer is LTO, even though my charging voltage can only get them to between 40-75% SoC. Can't go 5s as that charges at 14, but 6s charges at like 16.8 which is way above where I'm at. What do you guys do? The voltage range is what I observe under max load...

I am only going to be running either my Stinger MT1000.1 or switch to a Stinger MT1500.1. I will also have my AudioControl ACM4.300. Would you go with Extra Battery (Large and bulky) $200-$300 Down4Sound JP-2HC (Very small) $299 or NVX XCAP10H (Will mount on my amp rack) $195 with my discount

I apologize if this is the incorrect forum. I’m new here. I am trying to interface these two modules to install into my truck. The RP5GM11 has a 3 pin 3.5mm jack for steering wheel controls plus two extra wires(blue/yellow and brown). These are marked SW1 and SW2. The W670 does not have...

I had a question. I took out my old reserve battery (Limitless 60ah) and installed 3 of the LTO 6.0's. Now my amps won't turn on. I checked with my multimeter, there's power coming from power wires to the amps (3 crescendo amps). My remote turn on wire has power when turning on the...

Have a 2008 Cadillac CTS. Installing a JL 10w7 with factory head unit. It has the Bose oem system currently. Putting in a DS18 H-K02 amp. What line out converter should I get? Also any recommendations on wiring and rca’s that are better than others would be appreciated. I’d like to replace...

Bought a 2007 Chev Trailblazer with a Pioneer FH-X830BHS radio. It is a non user friendly complicated mess and is the only thing that is wrong with this suv. Since this is a double DIN unit, does this mean the original wiring has been bastardized to install it? The plan is to replace it with...

My son has a 2020 Hyundai Elantra in which we installed an AudioControl LC-1.800 amp and Skar DDX-12 sub (in a ported enclosure). We ran 4 gauge wire from the battery to the sub with a 100 amp fuse at the battery. The sub is grounded to a threaded hole in the frame and mounted to the back of...

Hey guys, total newbie here. My sister got me a new headunit for my car, but the wiring has me totally lost. The headunit came with a wiring harness but I get no sound when just that is connected, as I believe the harness was designed for the base model without the factory amplified Bose sound...

Hello all, semi-noob here. I have a ram 1500 non Alpine edition. When I first installed my subs and amp into my truck I had to get a line out converter (LC2i). After a year or so, I ended up buying a new head unit (Sony XAV-AX1000). Obviously the new head unit had RCA connections that I was able...

2019 Mazda 3 sedan. Stock 130A alternator. Big 3, done with 1/0 OFC. Stock lead acid battery but looking at AGM. 1/0 single run of 15' OFC from battery to amps. Voltage drop is minimal but can fluctuate +/- 1V with heavy bass drops. No light dimming but 1V does seem a little excessive. Possibly...

My wife bought me 3 sundown Xv3 dual 2 ohm subs. This is my first time owning a set of higher end subs. What gauge wire would be best to wire up the subs in the box? And I have an audio control LCI2 Pro and was also considering purchasing an equalizer or the audio control epicenter to get them...

Does anyone have a stereo wiring diagram for a 2012 Kia Sportage?

Hello, I soldered the AUX IN cable as in the diagram, added capacitors. In the diagram, pin 4 is GND. I insert a CD with a silent recording and unfortunately no sound comes from speakers. I will add that I am a complete amateur in these matters. The soldering went quite smoothly, no cables...

I'm installing Focal KX3s (3 ways) replacing the factory 3 ways. My factory amp has separate outputs for the tweeter, mid and woofer. The installer is telling me that I shouldnt use the crossovers that came with the speakers but the Focal manual seems to incidcate otherwise. Any thoughts as to...

Hey all, I’ve recently installed an Alpine CDA-7846J paired with an MDA-5050, and also wired in an FM modulator. Everything was working fine yesterday (see video: ), but now everything is working fine other than my speakers. The issue I’m facing is that I have to unplug, and then re-plug in...

Hello, I am wondering if it is alright to leave the stock wiring connected to the alternator when wiring up a bigger wire to the h/o alternator. Is electricity "smart" enough to run most of the power through the thicker cable while only running a little bit through the smaller default wiring...

These any good? Made of aluminum so I'm thinking not. I need something good for Big3 using 2/0.

The Orion HCCA 3000.1DSPLX requires three 300A fuses. Does this mean I need wiring that can sustain 900A of current? (or does this mean I need three 100A fuses?) I have never worked with amps that have more than one power input. I also have to decide on what amp(s) I will be using for my...

Installed the m6pro plus 2k, was super happy with it... until i installed hertz speakers all round and jbl 5ch amp. There is feedback hum/whine through the speakers. This hum/whine was is not present if I connect the speakers to the headunit directly using the headunit built in amp. (ran this...

I'm adding aftermarket rear speakers to a 4 channel amp, sub (mono bridged), and 2 front door speakers. My question is, is it safe to chain the front and rear speakers - so rear positive to front positive, rear negative to front negative, front pos/neg to amp channels? Or should I just play it...

I've posted about this topic a couple times already, but I have yet to find a solution. I installed an after market amplifier to power my mids and highs. I already have a sub amp that isn't having the same issues. My stereo is a JVC KW-M780BT. The amplifier powering the whine is a Infinity...

Hello, so my front right tweeter has started making a high pitch constant tone that will increase in pitch as the rpm’s are increased. Sometimes when I go over a bump the sound will stop until I hit another bump and it resumes. Correction of the issue when going over bumps makes me think...

Hello I'm happy to have came across this forum as I'm hoping someone will help with this little bit of confusion I'm having and maybe save me some money in the long run. Background I had went to get initial install from local shop. I had wanted something temporary and allowed me to later on...

I am installing 2 Rockford 15s 1 is 2 ohm DVC and 1 is 4 ohm DVC I want to wire them up to a 1 or 2 ohm load. Does any one have ideas for this? Thank you Agreater

So I’m replacing my cars radio, and in the user manual for the wiring of the new radio, it says to test the radio (before installation) it says the ACC wire and the 12+ V wire should touch the positive pole of the battery and the ground wire should touch the negative pole in order to turn on...

Hi Everyone, I have an active JL Audio sub (ACS112LG-TW1) wired via rear speakers in my VW Tiguan. The original head unit did not have the RCA connectors, therefore, wiring via the rear speakers was the easiest option. This setup seems to have the drawback that it often requires adjusting the...

Hey guys, I am attempting to swap out old aftermarket stereo with new stereo. The existing wiring is a bit of a nightmare. I am not sure what the wires heading off to the right and left are for. Perhaps the wire to the right goes to battery for constant power but what are the wires going...

Good Morning everyone, I have a 2010 Lincoln MKX with the factory THX audio and factory amplifier. My front doors are factory component speakers and I am replacing them with Morel Tempo Ultra 572 component speakers. In the door, there are no factory crossovers, but I do believe that the amp is...

I know there are some threads on this already but I’m looking for a specific answer regarding my setup, I’m doing a big 3 upgrade with 4 awg wire, should I fuse the battery to alternator wire, and what size/type considering 4 awg, also I’m not replacing factory wiring just adding to it, any help...
