Ignorance is a "Beach"

[OldSchoolRodz]

K- I'm an oldster, but not too old to be curious and learn something new, and this would be the first time I've tried to install an aftermarket stereo since 1976.

Car Audio has changed since Boston!

I'm trying to install a set of audio components that are aftermarket but designed specifically to fit in my Jeep Wrangler YJ to keep alterations to my Jeep at a minimum, so the audio component spec's / parameters are set in stone.

1) Boss Audio MR1315WUA Marine Digital Media Receiver Single Din, output power: 60 watts x 4 channels, RCA outputs, 1 Pair of pre-amp outputs.

2) The Intra-pod console has an incorporated Amp and Subwoofer Including:

Legacy LA 360 2 Channel Amplifier, 200 Watts x 2 Output, 400 Watts x 1 bridged Output, Fully Adjustable Electronic Crossover Network.

Single Polk Audio 8" subwoofer, Dual Voice Coil RMS 180 watts continuous / peak 360 watts.

3) I have a Centra-pod with two Acoustik 5 1/2" 90 watt speakers, RMS 90 watts per pair / 90 watts each, Peak 360 watts per pair / 180 watts each.

4) And lastly I want to pre-wire for a set of Kicker factory replacement dash speakers DS 460 6x9 speakers, RMS 25 watts continuous / peak 50 watts, though I cant quite afford and haven't bought that speaker kit yet.

I know people pay qualified technicians to hook up complex systems like this all the time, but I've built and re-built quite a few custom installations on my old jeep that I subbed out to people who rigged installations trying to keep installation time within their billing allotment. I'm happy to take the time to futz with the details and execute a good looking installation, I take pride in the details. My Jeep's my baby, and I've invested a great deal of time on the details so I can gloat over her with my buddies.

I'm visually dominant, so a wiring schematic would be incredibly helpful! Is there anyone out there that would be willing refer me to the technical assistance, or give me some directions about how to hook all this up together? I'm happy to pay for a wiring Diagram that address my specific installation parameters

Thx in advance for any time your willing to invest in helping me figure this out! David

Woohoo left coast! Welcome to the forum!

The first thing I will say is you want to steer clear of all things Boss at all costs. I've had experience with their stuff failing numerous times and I think just about everyone here will tell you the same thing.

As for wiring help try this place:

Thx H.T.C.

Unfortunately the Boss is bought; on the bright side however, fortunately it's just a media receiver so it's not saddled with their crappy CD mechanism! Hope that buy's me some time!

Thx for the link, I'll investigate it and see if there's some help for me there. D.
