Why I hate buying car audio - Am I stupid?

I use and like the PAC SOEM-T LOC. PAC has always been good to me. About $20 on Amazon.

Did not read the reply's just the OP, The Phoenix Gold R 500 has Line Level inputs and Signal Sence, so you can connect it to your rear speakers and it will come on with them. Just have to run your Power to the amp.

No can do. I have a spare back there and it holds the frame of the car together. I'll need to find a fancy solution. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Maybe I'll take pictures tomorrow. Haven't had the chance to take out the spare in daylight. I'll def do it this weekend.

Yep, it does. My sweet spot on the volume knob is 47 (like that means anything to you guys.) It's plenty loud at that level, I just need some bottom end to fill it out. The car is definitely a bit too bright, but sounds OK enough with the music I listen to.

OK, possibly stupid question time. Could I just run a single high gauge wire from the battery to the trunk, and ground the amp on the back of the car? If so, I am thinking I can just install this myself and save a lot of money. (Or is this how it's done anyway?)

I've always seen an inline fuse near the battery on car installations, should it just match the amperage on the amplifier itself?

That is how it's done anyway and yes, match the combined fuse ratings for the amp.

We like to pair it with a stinger Power only kit. Install down here is not very high and increases the warrenty on the amp. You will need to find an authorized dealer to get the amp. Phoenix Gold | Where To Buy

Also it is a 2 ohm amp.
