Bought a new SUV

[germanyt 10+ year member]

I'm done with the Grand Prix. I'm selling the SXs to a friend and buying two more eD nine.1s, 3 more yellow tops and pushing two Fi BTL 15s. 8 cubes net @ 35 Hz. Subs up, port back wrapped in graphite micro suede.

This is my new vehicle. I got it for 15000.

Anyone have any ideas on a nice front stage to go with a P880PRS. I was thinking DLS or CDT 6.5 comps up front and some lesser 6.5 co-ax for the rear doors. Perhaps running the rears off the h/u and the fronts off a NINe.2X.

Also, how do I work running two sets of sub RCAs to the rear off this h/u when there is only one sub out. Am I going to have to get a line driver with several outputs. Also, how do I wire up remotes on 5 amps. Should I use the high current ignition wire from the fuse box under the hood?

What are you talking about? (to eugenics)

Use a relay for your remote wires.

Thanks for pointing out the fact that MY car is not brand new sir. I do realize it is a 2004. Which came out in October of 2003. That makes it 3 years and one month. Brand new in 2004 it cost 30000 for this LT 4x4 model. I paid 15000 with 38000 miles.

edit* had typed something but had eugenics vehicle confused with someone elses.

How does the relay work? Well, I know how a relay works but how does it apply in this application?

 

[Prowler573 5,000+ posts]

The relay has its own power and ground connections.

You use the remote accessory activation output from the HU to trigger the relay then the relay triggers the accessories (amps and whatnot) that you want turning on and off with the HU.

It prevents you from overloading that output on your HU by connecting too many things to it.

Also, blue book for private party is 17000. I paid less than that from a dealer.

edit* info entered does not work with the link. comes up as error.

I also just looked it up for dealer value. 21,500. Looks like I got it for 6,500 cheaper.
