I ran my power down the side and my RCA's right up the middle.

where did you hide the wires down the middle of the car?

 

[JDMPREZA713]

Beast easiest way, run the power wire down the left side of the car under the carpet, and the rca and remote wire on the righte

 

[helitaiwan963]

about how long is everything going to take too hook it up?

 

[JDMPREZA713]

if u get all of ur routes planned out for the wiring itll take about 2 hours give or take for the amp/sub and deck work, and mayb another hour for all the speakers, door speakers are fast, my rear deck speakers took me like 3 hours, so ur lucky

Ahhh, nice! I'm hoping the dash won't be too hard to pull off...

also, rear deck speakers? i have a wagon.

 

[JDMPREZA713]

yea i kno, i was jsu saying that mine was a pain and to count ur self lucky

u have to pull the dash off?

 

[helitaiwan963]

ahhh, yea. i worked on a 04 acura tl putting in the rear deck speakers and it took us 2 hrs just to get the stupid panels and rear seat off...

and nope, i've never done it before. is it hard?

 

[JDMPREZA713]

not sure, out of all the cars ive done ive never had to pull the dash off except for american suvs

u should jus have to remove trim around radio(silver trim and controls)

 

[helitaiwan963]

Ohhh, I didn't know. I think imma hop onto ondemand to look up how to pull that. I hope they have it in there

 

[JDMPREZA713]

where did you hide the wires down the middle of the car?

Under the carpet. I found it easiest to just take out the interior. Front and rear seats, center console and the door sills. The front seats are just 4 bolts each and the rear are 4 bolts total. I also collected any excess wire and left it under the rear seat.

haha, ohh man. i don't have the space to do that. i pulled the carpeting back today down the sides to install my harness so i know what thats like and it's not horrible. there was a good amount of room there too for wires.

 

[helitaiwan963]

Check it out guys! With the help of JDMpreza713, i got all the info i needed and I went and did the install yesterday after finals... It was all pretty straightforward but the line out converter was a huge PITA to install... once i got the wiring diagrams off of the12volt.com, it all made sense for which wires to splice, etc...

I just need to go out and purchase a switch to turn the amp on and off so i can control when i want the subs bumpin or not.. right now it's wired to the ignition so if the car is on, so is the sub...

CHeck it out

60A capacitator

350watt amp, i'm happy with the wiring on this... everything is pretty much hidden

Whole thing

looks very nice, nice use of the stock alarm horn mount lol. does ur amp have a bass boost controller(looks like a telephone jack on the amp). if so u can wire that up 2 some where on ur car, like under the dash and that will let u have more control of the bass and turn it down enough to the point its just about off

 

[helitaiwan963]

the amp has a dial on it to controll that but it's on the amp itself
