You mention that there is no wires to cut and it is plug and play. Does that include the door replacement speakers as well and you mention door template. Does that mean there is cutting involved for the doors to get these speakers to fit?

the power to sub and speakers, is it being supplied for he stock headunit or is there a bult-in amp with the sub enclosure. I really like the idea, however, i frequently fold-down the rear seats for space. Honestly, how manageable is the enclosure when removing?

Also, you mentioned plug and play... can you eaborate from where you are getting the signal for the sub. The 3-ways are almost self explanitory though im assuming ya'll might be using a signal booster or converter if ya'll are using am afermarket amp.

anyways, seems like a good design, if i didn't use that space as much as i do, i would probably be all over this!!

Hi prplprowlr,

indeed no wires are cut in the install. We include a "T-harness" that derives input signal to the amplified sub. You disconnect the main 24 pin factory harness behind the stereo and plug our T-harness in it's place, then plug the factory harness into the other end of our T-harness. (When done from the headunit out, it looks like: Stereo|T-Harness|Factory Harness. A 4-pin pig tail sends signal from the T-harness to the amplified sub without interrupting that signal, as it's used to drive the full range speakers in the H2. For the front speakers, the mounting template guides you to make 4 holes to mount the upgraded 3-way 6.5" speakers, they drop in and connect to the factory 2-pin connectors with the aid of included speaker wiring adapters.

Hi obzidian,

The power for the amplified sub is derived in the fusebox and carried by our vehicle overlay harness that includes power, ground and signal to the enclosure. The amplifier for the subwoofer is mounted in the enclosure. It's very manageable when removing and re-installing. Fold the seat cushion forward, lay the enclosure down, it's molded shape makes positioning it self explanitory, connect the two mating connectors - Done. Takes all of maybe 30 seconds to add or remove the subwoofer (removing the sub has no effect on the rest of the system, it just breaks your heart to listen to music without it). It's not really an aftermarket amp, although the technology is the same, it is custom for this product, no signal booster needed, we just designed the amp around the application, power output, gain, eq and all.

Thanks
Joe

Predator sells this system for $1300.

A group buy of 5 or more should warrant at least a $300 discount...I would hope.
