Platinum Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin MY SUBS GET ... Post Number: 1852 Registered: Mar-07 | MY ORIGINAL POST DIDN'T WORK FOR SOME REASON. SO I HAD TO PHOTOBUCKET EVERY PIC AND REDO IT. SORRY FOR ALL THE LINKS, I KNOW ITS ANNOYING. TAKE A LOOK THOUGH, THIS TOOK ME FOREVER LOL. Alright, so UPS delivered my amp that I bought from Chad last week. I decided to do a little step by step install with pictures. Here we go...} First I opened the box and took a look at the amp http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0127-1.jpg The black and silver casing on this amp is so nice in person. Its a gorgeous looking amp.^^ Then I opened it up to see what the guts look like http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0128.jpg Then I took everything that was needed and set up my work station  http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0129.jpg Before I did anything I made sure to disconnect the negative battery terminal http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0130.jpg Then I took off the covers on the keeker and unwired it before unmounting it. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/kicker.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0131.jpg It's a kx250.2 btw^^ Open spot for the Realm http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0132.jpg Then I put the amp in place and did a test fit http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0133.jpg Perfect size. This amp is a little bit smaller than the kicker.^^ After that I took out the old RCA's and started replacing them with some Krystal RCA's I picked up from Knukonceptz a few weeks ago. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0134.jpg old RCA's^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0135.jpg old RCA's^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0136.jpg old RCA's^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0137.jpg I didn't even have to take my HU out because the RCA's were right on top.^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0138.jpg I put some electrical tape around the RCA connections. Its a little habit I guess. I just like to protect the connections. ^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0139.jpg new RCA's  ^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0140.jpg new RCA's ^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0141.jpg Got all the wires in place^^ Then I took out the removable power and speaker connections from the amp and hooked them up to my wires http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0142.jpg This feature on the Realm amps is very convenient.^^ Then I mounted the amp and plugged in all the connections. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0143.jpg Finished product http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0144.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0146.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0147.jpg A view from inside the trunk.^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0148.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0149.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0150.jpg The gain, bass, and crossover potentiometers light up in blue. Looks sick.^^ http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p173/stavenmist/Photo0151.jpg You can see the realm on the right side of the pic. Thats how I usually have it while driving.^^ ____________________________________________________________________________ After making all the adjustments, it doesn't sound too much different from the kicker. I wasn't really expecting it to sound that much different. The thing I did notice was I don't need BBE to make it sound better. I leave it off now and it sounds perfect without it. The music comes through crystal clear with no noise. Chad the way the gain was when I got it, matched my speakers perfect. lol. I didn't even have to adjust it. So far I love this amp. Now I'm already for some HEX's. Thanks Chad. This amp will serve me well for many years.  |
