I plan on doing a video either today or tomorrow sometime, Im about to get some footwell blue LED lighting for the driver and passenger sides next Tuesday. I am pretty excited about that, and I am thinking about hitting up someone for a Precision Power P900.4 for my Type R Components will give each speaker a good amount of power once I get them wired up. I mean the aftermarket headunit is only providing maybe 5 WRMS to each so going from that to about 125 W to each speaker, they are going to scream.

For now like I said I am pretty happy with my sub stage, but I am still looking for an amp(s) to power my HDC 3 12's. I'd also love to get some carpet on that box or get it stained, It looks nice already without carpet though, that and it's going to be a huge pain in the asssss to get the box in and out of the car again.

I'm trying to decide between a PP p600.2 or a PP p900.4 for my components!!!

Nice Camaro dude. Love that box and port. Good luck on the deployment.

As for amps. If you plan on just using the passive components I would just do the P600.2. In a car that small you don't need rear fill. An amp will make those components come to life.

Can't wait for the video. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

What do you mean by that, I figured with the p900.4 I'd have more headroom for the components right?

Oh yea I balance all the sound to the front so my rear speakers are not even used, I was wondering if I should just unplug them anyway?

Also I was going to make a thread asking for help but might as well ask here since you can help me. When I do get the new p900.4 sometime next week... Seeing how I have never wired more than one amp to a single car.

Do I need a relay for multiple remote wires, or can I just put a new remote wire into the same terminal into the same one as the sub amp, and daisy chain it over to the p900? For the ground wire should I get a new ground wire and bolt it to the same ground with a ring terminal and wingnut, or sand paper a new ground somewhere? The power wire from the battery, do I need a distribution block, so run the 0 gauge power wire from batter to inline fuse to distribution block then one wire to sub and one to speaker amp? Do I need to hook up more RCA's from the headunit to the new amp or can I just run rca's from the outputs on my Brutus 1200 to the new amp? Since its a 4 channel amp, do I need to use all 4 RCA inputs on the P900 or only 2 ?

U can jump the remote wires ...u can ground to same point ..and yes use a distro to go to each amp..and yea u need 4 ch rcas for the 900.4 need to run a new set from the hu

I heard using the same ground point can cause noise is that true?

 

[E-Rock 10+ year member]

Yeah I meant if you don't plan on running active to go with a 2ch. But if you want that option go with the 4ch which it looks like you have.

Ive never had problem of course all my grounds are at my rear battery bank

After a lot of planning and headaches of what to do, I got a brand new Jl 360/2 for my Type R door speakers for now. I figured out a trick, instead of running brand new wire from the crossovers from the door all the way to the back of my car I can just stick with the wire already ran in the car. I am removing my rear deck speakers because I no longer use them, cut those wires. I take out my H/U and from the wires I cut my front door speaker wires and my rear deck speaker wires off the harness. Then I splice the two together, Front and Rear deck speaker wires. Now I have a connection to the rear deck speaker holes, so I can just run the 2 channels straight from the amp into my trunk and into the rear deck wires. Vuala I just saved my butt a crap ton of work wiring new runs of speaker wire to the back. I am just going to test the factory wire for now and see how it is, I can upgrade later on.

Another trick is, instead of running a whole new RCA run from h/u back to the amp, I just disconnected the sub right/left from the head unit while I am back there splicing wires and hook them up to my front right left speaker inputs, done. Now with the Mini RCA hook ups, I daisy chain from output of my sub amp to input on my front stage amp. I lose a few options to adjust the sub head unit wise, but no big deal. I learn something new everyday.

Well after a lot of work just getting it set up, the amp doesn't even turn on... I tried unhooking the sub amp and then just moving those same wires to the Jl because I know everything works and the green power light is not coming on. I tried jumping the remote wire and stuff as well still nothing. I can't get a new one until next week so I asked around local car audio on facebook. They suggested maybe the green led is just bad, so they talked me into buying a dmm. I went to walmart and bought the cheapest one I could find. After a whole day of failure yesterday, hopefully today I will figure something out.

That port is cool, but not round.......

Great car. Wife want's one as well. After I pay off the Touareg she can get one. Probably be the ZL1.
