Silver Member Username: Dominirica012Charlotte, North Carolina US Post Number: 319 Registered: May-05 | 3) what ive seen most people do is run the speaker wires that were connected to the HU and run them to an amp under the seat...if you put it in your trunk that would be a lot of wires going all over the place. 5)why would you want to run multiple HUs your speakers can only respond to one of them |
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8179 Registered: Dec-03 | 1) what do you suggest, up to 200 bucks optima yellow top and a 200A battery isolator 2) Are battery isolaters universal, cause i bought one from pepboys and thats all they had. needs to be rated for at least the peak output of your alternator in amperes. 3) How do i wire my front speakers to an amp located in the trunk you run speaker wire under the carpet of the car from the amplifier to the speakers. It's work, but worth the effort in the end. keep the speaker wire away from power wires to avoid noise. 4) DOes anyone want to buy my 15 ti sorry not I. Good sub though, just needs enough power to control it. 5)Can i run multiple Hu's? uhh it's possible, but why bother? 6)When i get my equalizer, how does this get wired??? all depends on the EQ. |

It's a pain, but you can do it. There's usually a better solution though. you run speaker wire up the side of teh car, behind the kick pnels, and through the fender to the door gromets, then through the rubber wiring gromets and into the car doors. the 90A is good for the stock alternator. you may need bigger when you upgrade the alt. |

Bronze Member Username: LegacyaudioCtown, -high- Post Number: 56 Registered: Feb-05 | sub the easiest thing i found for wiring to the trunk is to slide it under the plastic that covers over the edge of carpet by door... it easily able to be pulled back and doesnt require going under the carpet if u have trouble finding the piece sit in your driver seat.. then look down to ur left at the floor where the door opens up at/ where ur seat is connected to the bottom/side of car this is the "best" way becasue no1 can step through that plastic piece.. u dont have to go under the carpet.. and u can easily slide the wire through ur backseat and straight down to it so u dont need to take anything apart |
