How exactly would I 'bridge' the amp? How is it wired differently?

I'm going to do some more car audio shopping and I'll be back. Thanks for all the help guys!

But I'll only have a single sub.

Yes....thsts why it will work perfectly for you

You think so? What about this --
New

Not going to be a good choice for you. That 400w is at 1 ohm. You're only gonna see about 200-250 watts of clean power there.

If you want something that's gonna have better sound quality and options further down the road, I'd look at the Boston I recommended. Otherwise the AP is your best budget bet.

 

[iball1804 10+ year member]

Yeah I'm probably going to go with the Boston

 

[iball1804 10+ year member]

Alright! Here's my total build overlook:

Subwoofer: Sony XPLOD 1200w 12 inch

Wiring Kit: Belva BAK42

Amplifier: Boston Acoustics GT-2125

Head Unit: JVC KD-X50BT

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!

And I'll bridge the two channels on the Boston

That's a great start, if you ever decided you wanted more power on the subs, you could use the Boston to power your front speakers, I'd say you're good to go.

Thanks UnderFire!

I have one last question, and it really has me baffled. According to Sonic Electronix, the back of my stereo headset looks like this:



What the HECK is that black and pink wire running next to the Bluetooth?? Is that the remote turn on wire? If so, how do I connect it to my kit's remote turn on wire that will run back to the amp?

 

[iball1804 10+ year member]

I still don't know what the pink wire thingy is, but I'm pretty sure the remote turn on wire is in that large bungle of wires (far left in the upperhand corner). Is that correct?

 

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

Looks like a 3.5mm jack for an Auxiliary In. Why they have it on the back of the amp baffles me since I've seen them on the front for ages now. I'd look in the manual but am doing a bunch of other stuff ATM.

 

[iball1804 10+ year member]

I was about to say! And the remote wire is NOT on the deck itself, but in that large connector?

 

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

The remote wire is almost always in the wiring harness itself. What you're looking at on the right are just USB and Aux inputs. that wiring harness on the left should have the remote wire and is almost always blue or blue with a white stripe.

 

[iball1804 10+ year member]

Gotcha. In the picture I posted earlier, zoom in on the wire on the FAR left, I see a blue wire with a white stripe running down the middle. Actually you probably can't see it, but it's there.

Thanks bro!

 

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

No problem, man. Think you're going to be very pleased with that Boston amp. I almost picked one up, but lucked out on my 5-channel Eclipse instead.

Btw, if you haven't ordered the HU yet, I'd take a serious look at the classifieds. Lots of good deals going on right now.
