Sweet. Looks like ill still need some wiring for the DQ-61 and some terminals and Ill be set. So, this DQ-61, the ins are coming from the exsisting speaker wire? I havent really looked into that part.

Looks like most of the stuff will be arriving today. Its raining all week though so ill at least have the box finished and ready to go by the time the sky is clear.

need to get some carpet for the box too. Forgot about that lol

Ok quick question about this DQ-61. I'm not seeing an option in the instructions for use with subs only. All of the set ups have the speaker wires coming in and RCA outs for the amps. Would there be an issue with splicing into one of the existing rear speaker wires and using it for the in as well as using that same wire to power the speaker. All of the set ups have the ins being terminated to the DQ-61 but not both to the speaker and DQ.

really need some info on that

I've run high level input to my sub amp tapping into the rear harness and didn't have any issues. Don't think you'll have any issues. You'll eventually want to upgrade and amp the front and rear anyway, trust me.

Thanks man. You've been a lot of help. Box is all finished up and wired like recommended. I'll post the build pics later. Idk if I'm gonna carpet it though because I don't feel like ******* with the connections and ****.

What type of wiring should i be using to tap into the rear speakers? Thats the only thing I need really. Installing sometime this weekend. I suppose Ill have no clue what Im doing as far as tuning either but that cant be too hard right?

 

[j dubya]

Them janks THUMP!!!!!

I need to work on tuning it tomorrow because it keeps shutting off randomly(clipping prob) but **** I'm impressed. Took a minute to get the DQ To work because the auto turn on only worked on front channel (1st channel)and sub output (3rd channel) used the 2nd channels signal. Just made jumpers. But **** I wanna go driving lol.

Oh and I need to clean up the wiring and ****. This was just a test run. I'll post build pics later

Do not play them any more until you set the gains right man! You're gonna burn something up.
