siucsaluki11 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 LOL, no I had my friend do it but I watched, but I totally get you now. And my HU came with a wiring harness and all the wire info was on the HU itself so it wasn't that difficult for me to see on mine but without a harness I'd be lost lol. Like I said id just hook it up to a cig lighter (if those harnesses in n8ball's link dont work) but I think you would need a small fuse? The cig ligher is fused anyway. Trust me, ive blown them in every car ive owned when a dime falls into my cig lighter and i push it in when i loose my lighter and my stereo stops working. Also, the amp gets its power from the battery lead, which has a 10A inline fuse already.

siucsaluki11 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Just tested cig lighter and it is switched. I dont see how this it is ghetto to run it to there. If anything it seems like the only option i have, i tested all the wires and didnt find one that worked, I dont get it.

manofthehour Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Just tested cig lighter and it is switched. I dont see how this it is ghetto to run it to there. If anything it seems like the only option i have, i tested all the wires and didnt find one that worked, I dont get it. My rule is: it ain't ghetto unless you see wires or tape lol. edit: so I say go for it, but another thing lol, I would use a cig lighter that you dont use... just in case... like I used the one that is in my compartment between the front seats (forgot the name) instead of the one right under the HU... It should only be a couple feet longer and wiring it shouldn't be anymore difficult... just another suggestion (don't know if it really matters) Edited April 16, 2010 by manofthehour Quote My stuff '06 Scion xA: -Alpine iDa-x100 -Alpine KTP-445 Power Pack -Polk Audio db6501 (front components) -Polk Audio db651 (back coaxials) -2 RE Audio SEX12D4s -Cadence F1200-1D - Custom box tuned to 33Hz - Kinetik HC1400 - 50 ft2 of Audio Technix sound deadner - Big 3 My photography page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In front of the gear selector, next to the ashtray. I plan on running the wire up and behind everything to the head unit, and grounding the HU to the chassis. Hopefully tomorrow ill make some progress. Need to run my 1/0, gunna be a pain, and ill fab up some baffles for the door speakers, mount the tweets, get the front stage running atleast. My friend has my monoblock, so i may have to wait till sat for it. But i got my other friends that i could use for now. Arg. This is pissing me off. Yesterday with my hunt for ring terminals after the damned pos batt terminal has about 4 wires on it from the factory, each one fused, so i cant use the terminal i bought from Knu. Well, tomorrow will be court, work, stereo. Hopefully the weather holds out for me, supposed to be rainy.

siucsaluki11 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Not yet. Will snap pics tomorrow. Got so wrapped up in trying to figure shit out, ended up taking apart way more of the dash than needed. Like, the whole thing almost. I have a few pics of yesterdays work, and the deadener in the front doors. But thats it for now. Goals for tomorrow. Finish HU, run power wire, run speaker wire to front doors, cut baffles, mount mids, mount tweets, get old box in trunk, start building new box? Worst case scenario, i got till august to build my box. Goal is to have the car bumpin by saturday night. The weather is nice and its time for bass.

manofthehour Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nice! Yeah you definitely need to make a build log lol. And when I was installing my LEDGLOW lights I practically took apart the whole dashboard to figure out where to wire em to and then decided to just wire em through the cig lighter in the center console lol. Waste of my time but I now know how to take apart my whole car lol. You making that box for the one 15" in your signature?

siucsaluki11 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Nope. Decided to go back to school in august. So i dont have the money for the T3 right now. Im recycling my old subs and amps, everything else is new. I figured that the equipment i have isnt all that bad, and its way better than nothing. Ive been interested in bandpass boxes, so i will start by stuffing my old box from my blazer in the trunk while i make a new one, then ill make this. 1 cube for each sealed chamber, 3.2 for the ported, with an 8" aero. I know its not the ideal ratio for some of you guys, but i used BBP6 and this is what gave the desired response curve. I tried quite a few different ratios of ported to sealed and alot of different port tunings.
