Installed My Amp/Sub (Write Up)

[SnakeH2]

Great write up. This is exactly what I was wanting to do. Something simple that really gives a big improvement.

Solder in new wires and run them under the panels (to where ever your new amp is located). At this point I wired everything up to my line level converter, and put it aside. Did you wire both speakers into the converter, or just one?

After connecting the power wire, I then ran the rest of it under the panels by the driver side door (very easy to pull up panels and replace). I zip tied the power wire in different places for neatness sake.

3) Power is ready [make sure it isn't connected to the battery until your ready to turn everything on!!]. Now it's time for the remote wire. What is the remote wire? I ended up using the SEO ACCY fuse that is located on the driver side fuse box. I went to Pep Boys and bought a "mini add a circuit" which allows you to cleanly add a 2nd fused accessory wire. It's a beautiful piece of hardware! That way you don't have to shove wires down into the fuse blades...

Any pictures of your work?
