5-29-08_Wondering if this set up will work
Hey i was wondering if someone would let me know if this set up will work to hook up my amp and sub to my stock radio (Like if all the wire lengths check out and will work. Or if some of them will be too short). also whats the easiest and best way to wire everything around the car so that all the wires will be hidden.
all the part listed are from ABC warehouse. And I'd be getting them for a discounted price.
Original Price/ Discounted Price
Parts List
__4ga Amp Kit Includes __-$49.99/$29.95
*17ft -- 4ga wire
*3ft -- 4ga ground
*17ft -- RCA
*gold AGU glass fuse holder with 80amp gold AGU fuse
*33ft -- 16ga 2 conductor speaker wire
*17ft -- 18ga remote turn on wire
*assorted hardware
*2 -- 4ga gold spade terminals
*2 -- 4ga 5/16" gold ring terminals
*6 -- 6" black wire ties
*2 -- 16ga gold spade terminals
*2 -- 18-22ga gold spade terminals

*4ga Ring AS-RT4 (Ring Terminals) - $7.95/$5.00
*Hi/Low Impedance Adaptor AS-SNE/OR5 - $12.95/$9.00
Also if theres anything else that i'll need to have to make my sub work please let me know cuz im pretty ignorant in the car audio department
But I'm going to pick the parts up tomorrow 5-30-08 and i need to know if i need anything else before i drive all the way to my uncles work on it with him
-Thanks

it should be enough. you will have to use a line output converter. to run the subs off the stock stero
.but run ur wires under the carpet and along the pannels. but your going to have to find the grommet and run the wire from the battery which can be a pain in rear. just loot through previous threads and you should be able to figure most of it out
running the power line

Plenty of wire there...
Just pull up the plastic on the door sills and theres TONS of room under there for wires.
Hes got a LOC converter there for $13. BOL with that, hope its a quality one.
And the "discounted" price isnt even that good. www.knukonceptz.com
All I can say is be very weary about wiring now days. Companies like RAPTOR sell some of the crapiest wire known to man... and people buy it...

wow, so i started to hook it all up tonight and all i have to say is....damn i hate that effing grommet...asides from the fact that i tried to put it in the first one that i saw which was the one on the driver side right next to the fuse box and once i forced the 4ga wire in the grommet along with the wires that were already in there, (which took about 15mins for it to actually go through) i pushed about 10ft of wire in there trying to figure out where it led to... and yah it pretty much goes no where. then since i live in michigan, lord behold it'd start pouring rain. so now im about to try the one below it once i get the time to take the air filter and fuse box out. So pretty much all that i got done was i made up the box as in i have some wire going from my sub to my amp... soo pretty much nothing...
*Now the question of the day for all you audio alero guys is... does any one know if the radio has a power antenna control wire/pin/line whatever you call it? and what kind of terminals it has? because as of now i have no clue what my kick line is going to be.
and does anyone have a good set up for a quick disconnect? so if i felt compelled to actually use my trunk i could just pop some wires off and take the box and amp out?
By the way thanks for everyones comments thus far

depending on the size of the box and where u mount the amp u dont really loose much space. i had 2 12's and the amp mounted on the back seat when i need to put my bike in i just pulled out the box, left the amp connected but took out the fuse so it wasnt on. right now i have 2 15s and 2 amps and no trunk space what so ever lol but eh thats what the back seats for lol

Could tap the ignition wire, too, while the radio is out it's just chilling right behind it to the left. Otherwise wouldn't at least one of the wires to the radio go hot when the car get turned on? That's how it's been on the car I've isntalled on without aftermarket radios.. just test wires until you find one and splice into it.

Well then how does the factory amp turn on? There's two different pins you can use on the factory radios (at least 2001-2004) for amp turn on.

It would work, but I wouldn't do that cause it could cause popping in the subs when you do that and you don't know how much current that amp draws when powering up... could fry something, not saying that will happen but it potentially mess something up, also it would probably be a electronic switch with no real voltage on it and just switching a electronic relay. I would tap off of the sunroof fuse on the passenger side if you don't have a sunroof. It is on the ignition and thats what I use to run my dvd player. That way you are not putting all your eggs in one basket and it makes it alot easier to troubleshoot should a problem arise.
