My main question is. Is it necessary to upgrade the fuse box to a new one like http://www.engmanparts.com/fusepanel.php. I now one positive thing is the bass will not make the fuses's fall down. Is there any other benefit to putting in the new fuse box ???? and what the best place to put the amp.????
This is what i have ordered and going to order for my sound system. radio Sony CDX-GT820IP http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Ite...lod&tp=5684 Amplifier Profile AP1040 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_489AP1040/Pro...file&tp=115 Speaker Pioneer TS-A1682R http://www.crutchfield.com/app/product/ite...h=4-way+pioneer Subwoofer Kicker CompVT 08CVT84 Shallow 8" subwoofer http://www.crutchfield.com/app/product/ite...search=kicker+8 Morphenspectra Subwoofer Box and speaker grills going to order these when i get the speakers in so he can cut out the correct mounting hole.

Thanks Toddb67. I was thinking of doing what you said already best place for the amp would be upfront. it just how to get the power cable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tunez.gif) up there. You're going to have to get creative. Use a high quality 8 or 10 gauge wire (available at any car audio shop) and make sure you use an inline fuse or circuit breaker within 18" of the battery. Both those items are also available at your local car audio shop (or crutchfield). Getting the power from the battery to the front is where you'll need to be creative. I recommend running it along the passenger side long (underneath the rocker), but you could drill a hole and run it through the center tunnel or passenger compartment. Just remember to use a grommet whenever you run the power cable through a drilled hole. How do you plan on using the amp? It's has four channels, so I assume you're going to run two of the channels to your components and then bridge the last two channels to one channel for your sub. Right? Looks like it has a built in crossover, so you should be in business. Oh good, you purchased a 4 ohm sub too (which is correct for this application). Have fun! |
