    Audio Upgrade/Installation

    Yeah I'm with you, I've seen other kits with the inline fuse already attached idk why Kicker didn't do it as well. Now I know its supposed to be within 18" of the battery, but like I said its got the techflex around the first couple inches and I'm not terribly confident in cutting and...

    Audio Upgrade/Installation

    I was able to pull a little bit more wire through, so looks like I'll be able connect the fuse to the easy part of the power wire, going to have to mount it a little farther from the battery though, around the back of the engine bay, think this location should work fine.

    Audio Upgrade/Installation

    Im sure I could cut through it, I just wasn't sure if I would run into some trouble trying to strip the bare wire from the material. Alright thanks alot, I actually don't have a soldering kit so might go pick one up, saw one cheap at radioshack the other day so might be worth grabbing...

    Audio Upgrade/Installation

    I'll post pics tomorrow. But to clarify, its my understanding that the power wire which you are running from your amp to your battery, needs to have a fuse holder (which I have) connected to the wire, in order to protect from overheating in case it blows. From what I've seen, it appears that...

    Audio Upgrade/Installation

    Alright basically finished today, ran all the wires mounted the amp, installed the head unit, but got one question. In the engine bay where the power wire is running to the battery I have to install my fuse holder, but the first 3 feet of power wire is braided. I dont how to cut the braided...

    Audio Upgrade/Installation

    Thanks man, yeah haven't done subs yet, that's going to happen in the summer most likely. Need to get some funds first, but when I do, pretty sure I'm going to get the JL Audio 12w3v3. Ya never know though, mind could change until then, always have an open mind to using something else.

    Subwoofer and Amp matching

    Alright quick question. A member on another forum asked me what type of music I'm into. I said I'm mostly an electronica genre, such as electro, house, techno, dubstep, etc. with also liking rap/hip-hop. He stated that the JL AUDIO 12W3V3-4 is more SQ oriented and I might not get the lows I'm...

    Subwoofer and Amp matching

    True true, like I said though I was thinking of installing a second battery in the trunk for my audio equipment. Do you think that would a safe bet even without an aftermarket alternator. Alright thanks, i'll take a look into amplifiers in that power range.

    Subwoofer and Amp matching

    What sort of electrical upgrades? I really dont think what im looking at is to unreasonable, after looking at what some of these subs require to power mine seems about middle ground. Also running all this power, think I should get a dedicated battery for the trunk to power the two amps?

    Subwoofer and Amp matching

    Thanks for that, after some more research and reading other reviews I'm thinking of getting the JL AUDIO 12W3V3-4. Now I have to find a good amp to power two of these at 500 watts each. SO looking at a 1000 watt amp.

    Subwoofer and Amp matching

    I'm looking for 12's not 10's, so you thinking the 12" version JL AUDIO 12W3V3-4, sound better than the Kenwoods? And is this off personal experience hearing both or just what you've heard from others?
