FosgateLife Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 And yes your right they are a PAIN IN THE ASS to work on. i remember the trouble i had fitting just 8 gauge wire through my firewall, lol. I wont be doing the Big 3 myself because i do nottttt wanna mess my baby up. I know people at JR's Vovo (best volvo repair/mechanics in KY) and they said they'd do it for me so im gonna trust them more ! Haha. Had to run my 4 gauge through the passenger side, was a pain to find a place to run the wire through. Glad you know mechanics that will do it for you with the proper equipment, my car is hard to work on, and it's a 98, since yours is an 07, I imagine it being more complex, so smart move if you're not comfortable to work on it. Yeah forreal, aint tryna spend a whole day in a volvo engine. hahaha. Anyone think of any other upgrades/"look cool" stuff i could do to this car? 2007 Volvo S40 2.4i (no turbo )(Soon XS Power D2400) Stock battery for nowRockford Fosgate 4 gaugeAudioque 6.5" Mid Bass (front)Rockford Fosgate T1 Tweets (front)Rockford Fosgate T2 6.5" Mids (rear)Rockford Fosgats T600-4 (Mids and highs)Rockford Fosgate P3001Fi SSD 12" with PSI recone, building box<p>400 watts, 139.3 @ 42 hz , in the kick window open.

stevh0 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Nice job working on the V. They can be a total pain in the ass. How are you getting signal to the amp? Are you using a converter? Are you planning on running a 3sixty or Bit one to clean up the signal? I tapped into mine to just add on the DD8, but I would deffo need to add an audio processor to clean things up.

I tapped into mine to just add on the DD8, but I would deffo need to add an audio processor to clean things up. I tapped into the Stock amp, im using the stock amp to power my speakers. No joke that thing is powerful! i want to clamp it! But yeah i plan on getting a 3sixty.2 or.3 depends on budget. But i was also thinking about a Audio Control LC7i. decisions decisions 2007 Volvo S40 2.4i (no turbo )(Soon XS Power D2400) Stock battery for nowRockford Fosgate 4 gaugeAudioque 6.5" Mid Bass (front)Rockford Fosgate T1 Tweets (front)Rockford Fosgate T2 6.5" Mids (rear)Rockford Fosgats T600-4 (Mids and highs)Rockford Fosgate P3001Fi SSD 12" with PSI recone, building box<p>400 watts, 139.3 @ 42 hz , in the kick window open.
