CAR audio enthusiats?
« on: April 11, 2011, 07:39:11 PM »
So I have this pair of Memphis M1 subs with an oldschool earthquake amp that have been just laying around begging to be used... so i finally got the balls to go shopping and pick out some nice shit to put in my eclipse so i can run these bad boys. Basically I just wanted the opinion and maybe advice from someone who knows about car audio... I know enough to get me by but thats it.
Also I might post here again if I need installation help... ive done a little research and apparently its a bitch to install aftermarket audio equipment into a car that has been upgraded with the infinity stereo option.

Heres what i bought.

Couldn't find the link but i picked up a Metra Turbo Wire from bestbuy so i could bypass the stock infinity amp when I go to put the new head unit in.

those look fine, are you using a custom box for these or are they just in a regular box? usually from what ive seen is you have to splice the new radio head into your car, then plug in your audio cables from the sub into the back of the new radio and re-install that. then connect your amp to your battery and ground it. then connect your audio cables from your radio head to your amp and connect subs. install fuses and baddah bing botta boom, adjust gain, and tune subs. bump dubstep!

 just remember to label or know every wire you disconnect from the radio. thats usually what takes the most time. installing the new radio and wiring from battery to amp,

im using a custom box. No im not gonna have to do any splicing because the factory radio wires are connected to a harness and the turbo wire i bought also has a wire harness. Just in cause tho i printed of a wiring diagram for the car so I will have wat all the wires are on hand if i need it. Yea the hard part about that is getting in those small places to put the wire under the carpet and the bolts they use to hold seatbeats in the car are a bitch to remove. Also i just gotta remember to put my rcas along the opposite side of my car to the amp power cable or Its possible current will jump the cords and start a fire XD. But yea dude I might head over to your house once i get all the supplies shipped to me so you, wes, and jorden can help me out.  :P
