ndummitt1223 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 ok so im planing on installing my own system into my 99 grand prix, i have a box layout and i know which sub/amp im going to buy. I need help on a lot of things with this build like, will i need an alternator? will i need an extra battery? (only poweing 1 15in sub and 1 AQ1200d amp). Also im not too sure how i should set up the sub in my trunk, if u guys need pics plz tell me and i will get them for u. I also need to know what type of wire to buy for the AQ HDC3 15" copper coil series sub, and anything else u think i need to know about this, PLEASE tell me thank you!!

superdave07 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I personally think you'll need a second battery. As far as the box, if u have room to build it with the sub firing to the rear and the port shooting rear, thats always worked best for me in the trunk. Just my two cents....but im a noob to this forum so i dont wanna step on any toes Quote Xterra * 69 Camaro * Audi S5 36 Ford * 51 Mercury looking for wire sponsor www.flyracing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdave07 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 exactly! thats gonna be your best sounding option. I dont know much about those subs or amps, so im not much help. but from what ive read here, your gonna want another battery for sure. And i wouldn't skimp on wiring the rear battery, if you dont use enough or the right size of wire you'll hurt yourself more than you'll gain Quote Xterra * 69 Camaro * Audi S5 36 Ford * 51 Mercury looking for wire sponsor www.flyracing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdave07 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 That one you'll have to shop around for. As far as wire goes id look at some http://www.knukonceptz.com/ wire and see what you think. Someone else will have to help you with the battery issue. I use deka batteries myself. I dont know how people on this board feel about deka.
