CHEAP CAR AUDIO, PART 3...INSTALLING AN AMP!!!
SINCE MY GUIDES HAVE BEEN VERY WELgeED BY MY FELLOW okayERS, IM STARTING A NEW SERIES OF GUIDES RELATING TO INSTALL STUFF. TODAY WE GONNA DO A 2 CHANNEL AMP INSTALL. FIRST GET YOURSELF AN AMP INSTALL KIT FROM YOUR LOCAL STEREO SHOP. KEEP IN MIND BRAND NAME KITS ARE JUST THAT THE NAME, ALL THE WIRE IS gePOSED OF COPPER INSIDES WHICH IS ALL YOU REALLY AFTER, THE COPPER, SO A CHEAP KIT WILL DO THE SAME JOB AS A BRAND NAME KIT, JUST REALIZE TO SHOP FOR A KIT WHICH HAS THE PROPER GAUGE POWER AND GROUND WIRE YOU NEED FOR THE AMOUNT OF POWER YOU ARE GOING TO RUN THROUGH IT. NOW BUST OPEN THE KIT, START WITH THE POWER WIRE. OPEN THE HOOD AND LOOK FOR AN EXISTING HOLE OR GROMET THAT YOU CAN PIERCE THROUGH TO PASS THE POWER WIRE INTO THE CABIN AREA. IF YOU MUST DRILL CHECK THE INSIDE TO SEE YOU DONT DRILL INTO ANYTHING IMPORTANT, AND PASS THE POWER WIRE ON THROUGH(IF YOU DRILL A HOLE PUT A GROMET IN THE HOLE TO PREVENT THE SHARP METAL OF THE FIREWALL FROM CUTTING INTO YOUR WIRE(YOU WILL BLOW FUSE AFTER FUSE) NOW CONNECT THE END STILL UNDER THE HOOD TO THE BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL(FUSE REMOVED PRIOR TO THIS STEP) NOW FISH YOUR POWER WIRE DOWN TO THE TRUNK OF THE CAR BY TUCKING IT UNDER THE TRIM ALONG THE DOOR JAMS OR PULLING TRIM ALTOGETHER AND PUTTING THE CABLE UNDER THE CARPET. ONCE INTO THE TRUNK, TIME FOR THE TRIGGER(REMOTE) CONNECT THIS BLUE WIRE IN KIT TO THE POWER ANTENNA OUTPUT OF YOUR RADIO AND FISH IT DOWN TO THE TRUNK ALONG THE SAME SIDE AS THE POWER!!!(VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THIS OR YOU MAY GET AUTOMOTIVE "HUM" THROUGH YOUR AMP) NOW RUN THE RCAS FROM RADIO TO THE TRUNK DOWN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CAR. THE GROUND CAN BE HOOKED UP TO AN EXISTING BOLT ALREADY IN TRUNK OR YOU CAN DRILL A HOLE TO PUT A NUT AND BOLT THROUGH. I USUALLY REMOVE A SHOCK BOLT AND PUT THE GROUND RING TERMINAL ON THEN DO THE SHOCK BOLT BACK UP ON TOP OF IT(REMOVE ANY PAINT OR RUST FROM THE BOLT AREA WITH SANDPAPER TO MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION) NOW BASICALLY IT DONE, HOOK UP THE AMP AND INSTALL YOUR UNDERHOOD FUSE AND TEST DRIVE THE SYSTEM. IF I HELPED YOU IN ANY WAY PLEASE VOTE, AND ALSO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS INVOLVING THIS INFO HERE OR FOR MORE INFO I MAY HAVE MISSED PLEASE CONTACT ME, PLEASE PROVIDE ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN RESPOND(okay SOMETIMES BLOCKS RESPONSES, THEY THINK A TRANSACTION IS GOING ON OUTSIDE OF okay) THANKS FOR READING AND STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE GUIDES!!
