Is it possible that i could just disconnect the stock sub and then connect 2 after market subs into it... I know i would need to get subs that are wired together to do this.. The car is leased, so i dont want to drop a lot of money since it will be going back sooner or later..

 

youll need a new amp. the stock wasnt meant to power 2 aftermarket subs,
im not 100% but i dont think the stock deck will have rcas, or a spot to run a amp lead off,
im sure someone that knows a bit more could help more

 

the stock deck doesnt have rca's you would need a hi low converter to get a signal for the amp.

 

no rca's on stock unit! Do the JL cleansweep.. ***** on any hi-lo converter ive ever seen or heard.

 

I agree with the cleansweep but at 300 bucks vs 20 bucks for a hi low converter. I would go for the hi low converter.

thanks for the info guys ! I think i am going to do the hi-low coverter, get a new alpine amp, and new 12' alpine subs

 

Good luck on the install also you can tap for the remote wire off the cigarette lighter, or anything on accessory power.

 

^ thanks I think if we get good weather here this weekend and if my wires come in I will install this weekend! That what i was thinking of doing for the sub power, and i think while I am at it i am going to add a "sub turn off switch" my friend who is good with A/V is going to be mainly installing. I am just going to learn, and help out.


what do you think about this set-up

sub + amp kit.

dont worry about the pricing.. i am getting better prices than this with the hook up from my buddy...

 

That's not a bad set up. You will lose some signal when you go through the high low converter, but there is nothing you can do about that. But installation is pretty easy if you have the factory sub because you can tab into those wires sense it already is sending just a low frequency to it.

 

yeah, i was going to install this weekend, but my plans were killed because of the rain, and my sub box did not show up.... but I got most of the wiring done, so basicly its all plug and play now.. but i think i want to change the location of the amp, its bigger than i thought it would be...

 

dude that is a terrrrrrrrrrible setup. for one that box is horrid...run far away from prefabs..for 2, you don't need a cap.

what is your budget?

 

Yeah, I know its not the best setup, but there is a reason why.... The car that this stuff is going into is LEASED. I am not giving it the top of the line set up, knowing that one day or another i am going to return the car. I allready know I will not buy it at the end... I want to make it simple mostly plug and play because its possible I might stay with the current lease, but switch to the new 2011 model if honda does changes.

Also, I allready changed the box to a better one, around 140 bucks.

And i dont want to shake the whole car and bang out... I just want somthing to hit every know and then.... And I know i dont need it but im adding the cap for saftey, and i am getting it for basicly free.

 

it's not even about best. it's about quality...the amp is decent for what it does..the sub? garbage

@ that price point you might as well go with this

just do a basic little system ehh around like 1300. something simple. and when you do return the car just take all your equipment off and slap on the stock stuff back on.

 

all right guys, After doing some home work, I figured out that the package above is not so great. So I just returned it all, the box never came, and the amp I got from a friend and The subs i bought but didnt open so they are going back. I am just installing this...

The price is very reasonable, it has an amp and box included so that gets it done.

The total cost.

Subs + amp + box = 310.00
Cap= Free
Wiring= 40.00
filling up my friends gas tank for installing and for the free cap and other misc. stuff - 40.00

--------------------------------
about 400 bucks. were still in depression you know so F the $ on subs.

 

 

ehh. its your money. but i wouldnt buy that at ALL. just go with a nice JL set up. 12w3 and jl 500/1 amp and it'll bump nicer than that. in a ported box.

 

 

i hope you bought some dynamat too. i hate hearing cars at the lights and i hear more trunk rattle than actual base.

 

bass**

 

lol yes, i did, I am going all around, mainly in the floor of the trunk, along the side, almost to the wheel wells. and i am also adding a license plate vibration plate, because when i got my car from the dealer, the bottom screws were not there..

licence plate frame was free.

The padding, and the wiring is all done, just need to pick up my subs + box + amp and do the plug and play part.

 

ur spending more on dynamat than actual equipment? backwards..that's gonna be a terrible sounding setup

 

dude one of my friends dad own a big car customization shop, i buy all my stuff threw them, and they give me unbeatable pricing meaning no profit to them since its there job, and I"ve known the kid since Middle school.

 

still a waste of money imo.

 

leave the guy alone, its his car his money
