stereo question

[zeeman800]

I'm installing a sub and amp but im using the stock radio...anyone know what colour wire the remote wire hooks up to? I thought it was the blue with the white stripe but no luck yet.

No idea, but I thought I would throw in my despair right now...

I drove around today trying to find someone who could make me a enclosure and the lowest quote I got was $200... Which costs more then half of what my whole audio system has cost lol...

So where did you get your enclosure? I am looking for ideas right now.


P.S. I am mechanically challenged and would make the worst sub enclosure in the world. :rockon:

i got mine at a local shop...just a small box that would fit behind the seat. I'm only putting in one 10" kicker.

Where ya putting the amp? Drilling it into the floor or the wall? Or you have an amp rack of some sort?

I put in a sub made by concept one. It is a 8" with a built in 100 watt amp. I listen to rock and metal. I was worried that it would be too small, but in that cab it sounds awesome. Tool and Sevendust sound unreal. The best part is, its in a grey plastic enclosure that matches the light grey in the interior perfectly.

I got my amp. just sitting under the Pass. side seat since I have no room with my box behind the seats.

Bowhuntr11 go and talk with a guy named Eric at Auto Sounds in Bedford. Tell him Tyson sent you up there and he will take care of you.

Our factory radio's do not have a 12volt output for an amp. You have to use a switched ignition source. Look at Audio Controls LC6i. I put one in my L. It will take speaker level in and convert to RCA out, control a sub with a separate volume control. It has a 12volt output for amps.

not sure....but in this case I connect the power wire to the fuse box...I wouldnt recommend it thou ;-)

Well i ran the remote wire off the black/pink wire and i ran speaker wire from the green/orange wire and blue/white wire which are the 2 front speakers and it worked out good, no problems yet.

id use the power wire for the radio, not sure if itl work but it sounds like a good idea lol

The price they charge for a box is way overpriced. Thats why i do my own, it may not look professional but for what i paid it works just fine for me. As for the remote wire, find you a fuse thats hot when your key is on, tap into it and put an inline fuse on the wire.
