OK so the guys at the shop got it pulled through the bottem and rethreaded it. So you can lock this
-
I just talked to the guys at my local shop and they said that they could take a look at it so, ill just take it there, but thanks for all the suggestions
-
I would say try and get a smaller screw driver underneath the set screw and pry up while you turn it from the top. Good luck getting it out man.
i tried that and broke the bit that was prying it. I just want to get it out i dont care if i need to get another screw.

Without Stripping the thread how would you get the 1/0 guage ground bolt out of the hole. I cant move it, thats why i couldnt finish my little install. i have tried wd-40, but it didnt seem to help. it looks like it is jammed in, which i didnt do. so any suggestions?
-
Do you just print this out or do you just ask for it at the store, cuz thats where im going for lunch tommorow.

for 0ga you're gonna need a torch, and if you're soldering it you don't need to crimp it since if done right the solder joint will be stronger than the wire, plus if you crimp it first less solder will make it into the joint
so pretty much soldering takes time and practice to get the hang of it. ill get a torch soon then, i do have some menards gift cards from christmas still, but used most of them for my mdf

1. it bonds two pieces of metal together, usualy a wire to a metal terminal
2. not extremely, but yes it is inferior
3. soldering guns only work on smaller connections, torches are for larger ones...and plumbing if anyone cares to know
yeah i bought a soldering gun, but i saw meades vids and he was using this big ass torch. so i was just wondering, cuz i am just getting 0 guage and i wanted to do them right, and tried soldering them with the gun and it clumped up and did not look like that video. so i was just wondering and i appriciate it, and so i should crimp and then solder right?

thanks man really helped....

1. What does soldering actually do?
2. Is crimping extremely inferior to soldering?
3. Is it better to use the torch or the actual soldering gun?
thanks

the strongest points of your body are seatbelt and brake pedal mounting location to which both are great places for a ground..just make sure the wire terminal is on top of the seatbelt mount
thank you, now i need to go finish the install SON

metra #XSVI-5520 is the harness # thats it. just a harness that lets you add the aftermarket radio with factory functions but no I dont think you have to use that feature...
ok well i had the original harness all crimpped into the aftermarket one and it didnt work,so thats why im wondering. i just want my shit to work my dash is taken apart, and i dont know why it wont work. A bad Ground? idk
-
well if your not comfortable you probably should take it in toa reputable shop. They will probably already have the part but you can look for it HERE
what is it called exactly so i can ask, i understand what your saying cuz when i open my door with the car off the cd player turns off, do i have to have this to use the cd player at all cuz i dont really care about that feature i just want something i can use to mess with my subs?
-
ok so there is no 12 volt accessory wires currently in the factory harness, run an accessory wire to the fuse box or underneath the steering column when
installing an aftermarket radio. The adapter is designed to provide a 12 volt 10 amp switched accessory output along with the rest of the wires needed to
install an aftermarket radio. The R.A.P. (Retained Accessory Power) function, where power is supplied to the radio after the ignition is shut off until one of the
front doors are opened, is retained by the extra harness. IF this is the harness you have you have to:
INITIALIZE THE XSVI INTERFACE BEFORE TURNING
ON RADIO: With all connections made and harnesses
connected to the vehicle, turn ignition key to the
ON position for thirty seconds, then turn key off.
sorrry for the delay I had a call come in. hope this helps
so can you give me a link to buy this adapter thing? and do you think being a novice in this kind car audio shit that i will be able to do this thing into the fuse box myself?
-
thats what your harness should look like
what is that other small harness thing cuz i have a thing where that'll plug into, but i dont know what is for. and how does that plug into my cd player cuz i had all the wires from the cd player connected with crimps, but i know there is another plug where that small thing can go. and where can i get one of those?
-
K well Im assuming its the car in you sig the 4 dr sedan? no nav? the part # I show is a special harness Non - amplified interface harness that retains accessory power only
metra #XSVI-5520 Other than that if you hooked up all wires properly it should work unless you got some multikit that isnt specific to your car.
this is what i have http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120705520/Rec...re-Harness.html
i did the outfit my car thing on crutchfield.

k next question do have the premium sound system? with the 10" sub?
edit whats the kit#you got?
no factory subwoofer, i dont know that, but i have the standard trim. if that helps at all.
-
Ok so what car?
did you get the aftermarket harness?
Its a 2008 ford focus, yes i had the aftermarket harness.
-
For me the power is the yellow wire and the ignition is the red, but how do i check the 12v?
-
so u checked the fuse in the fuse panel for the radio or the fuse in the back of the radio, also you could get a test light n make sure u have a switched 12v source from the ignition and power and all that
which wire is that?
-
New Pioneer DEH-p5000ub, i wired with the harness and the wires that came with the pioneer, wrote all the matching wires down, crimped them grounded the right wires plugged in my cd player and just didnt turn on at all. any suggestions? i checked the fuse to the radio already.
-
he would fry that amp or throw it into protect wiring each coil to each channel. that amp is only stable down to 2 ohm. that sub is a dual 1 ohm
so wire both voice coils into one channel?
and the sub will get about 550 watts

I have ordered a few things from woofers, but personally i have been going with techronics.com cheaper than woofers and always comes fast, BUT i would call 1st to make sure what they have on the internet is in stock. Cuz my friend bought a t-500-1 and they called him a day later saying they were out of stock.
