Well the stereo is DONE! Thanks to everyone who helped! I love it the 3.5 are surprisingly powerful for only 25w rms, and the woofers well............. there just **** loud haha. I love the bluetooth and usb in the head unit. So now i can play all my songs wirelessly right off my phone. I will...
Alright, ya thats what i was wondering if you just put the wires together at the amp lug. Thanks for the info. Tomorrow i hope to hook it all up. Hey how did you attach your amp. I dont wanna drill holes in the back of my m1008 behind the seats. Im thinking either velcro or just some straps.
how did you tie it into the the power wire?. Also I was testing the circuits in the fusebox and contrary to posts i found in the search: the plug in next to the 5 amp fuse seems to be the only always hot source and it is NOT 12v.
Alright guys well I have been making progress and now am so close that I am doing the final wiring. I'm going to use the extra connectors on the fuse box from the ignition circuit for my regular power wire( for head unit). however, can someone inform me of an always on circuit that i can wire...
I did not see any mention of it in the user manual so I got 2 bass blockers.
Well I'm getting there, I fixed my passenger inner fender so I won't loose my batteries lol, am almost done fixing the battery boxes, got a "new" window for the driverside from the junkyard, got the oem speaker...
Well I already have the speakers soooo, I need to go to the yard and retrieve a window. While there, can i grab the speaker bracket and will it work with my 3.5?
Alright thanks for the info. I have yet another question. I got my dash pulled today and when looking at the speaker holes, do I need a special adapter bracket for the 3.5's ?
Hey guys, well I needed to take care of some important issues on the truck before I install the stereo such as the passenger side inner fender so rotted out I'm suprised I still have both my batteries lol, and my missing driverside window. So I'm taking care of that all now and hope to have the...
alright guys thanks for all the juicy info. Well the subs are mounted in their enclosures and wired up. Thats about all I got around to today unfortunately. Tomorrow hopefully my goal is to have it all mounted and installed. Thank you all for the help. oh yea and the subs are kickers and the 3.5...
oh ok, no I don't have a db meter on hand. Or wait I have an idea. I just bought an iphone app that works as a db meter. It has good review and people state its pretty accurate when I go to work on the truck today and drive it I'll take some readings for you ok?
I'm really not quite sure what your are asking. My m1008 is not loud in my opinion. My dodge dakota was louder then it and I could hear the stock radio fine. I'm not putting in such large subs because I'm too lazy to dynamat the entire thing I'm doing for the fun aspect of having some powerful subs.
Alright well thanks BadMastard, I already ordered everything so I'm running with the 2 10's for now. I figured i will utterly drown out the dash speakers but I'd like to start with them for now and then add the doors as funds become available. Well the wiring kit I received came with 16gauge...
Hey guys heres an update, well school is officially out for summer and I came back home from a friends wedding to boxes full of goodies. I'm getting ready to drop the subs in the enclosures and now am concerned on whether or not I have low enough gauge speaker wire for the subs. the wiring kit I...
Thanks for all the great info guys. So I think I'm pretty much ready to order everything. I don't need a headset in my truck its pretty quiet compared to most cucvs I've heard. Besides I'm putting in 800w worth of subs for a reason :)
lol boy do I feel retarded. Alright guys thanks for the info. looks like I have my list with everything I'll need then. If I were to add some decent mid range speakers where do you think they should go? Just in the doors or?
Alright guys thanks for the tips. Here is a link to the head unit I was going to use. I was confused with how it gives power ratings but yet all i see is the RCA jacks.
