finally added a Sub

[DR3W]

Sweet, thanks guys. Just saved me a few hundred bucks! I just want some bass, not something to blow up the neghiborhood! hahaha And i like the stock HU's too!

 

[DR3W]

Wait, how'd you install it. Do you need to connect to every speaker? Or is it just adding a sub/amp?

 

[walnuts4x4]

basically from my understanding is it replaces running RCA cables from the deck to the amp... so you tap it into one of the rear speaker wires and the converter has a signal to the amp... then install the amp as normal except the RCA cables go from the converter to the amp..


someone chime in if I am wrong please...

yeah, i tapped the drivers rear door speaker before it went into the door right by the seatbelt. you run the speaker wires into the LOC(line out converter) then the RCA from the converter to the amp. the rest of the install is like a normal set-up.

i think some people even run them where the deck goes. but i wouldnt know. i dont use them. but youtube has all answers! haha

 

[DR3W]

Okay thanks everybody, where is your LOC located at alaskanexpy?

Oh BTW panda. There is a big truck & jeep convention in the Ontario Convention Center this weekend. Im going on Sat.

I think its on the home page of 4wheelparts.com

Just letting you know. Lol

on both my trucks i mounted the amp to the box and my LOC is also right there. i did this so i could easily remove the sub to haul crap.

Okay cool thanks man.

on both my trucks i mounted the amp to the box and my LOC is also right there. i did this so i could easily remove the sub to haul crap.

my amp is under the driver side rear seat... that way the seat folds down and nothing can hit the amp... then box is easy to remove

mine is attached to my box...i'm wanting to put it under the middle seat in the 2nd row...i think it'll be to big though...we'll see on day when i stop getting hag'd by my wife

 

[panda24619]

my box is small. that IS what she said too... haha but my amp is inbetween my 2nd and 3rd row since its so ****** big!

i've had this 12 sitting around for awhile, along with a off brand amp. i'd been wanting to install it in my expy since its the only truck that did not have a sub in it. so i picked up a line out converter and some power cable and wired it up today. nice to have alittle bass in the thing i will say that. nothing like the 15 i have in my excursion but a nice little bump. everything else is stock, i like my factory HUs and stuff i know i'm weird.

Man your car is clean! looks good!

 

[alaskanexpy]

i try to keep it clean lol, key to that is it has had full husky liners in it since brand new..all the carpet looks like new. i'm still deciding what i want to do with the cargo area mat now.
