Would you need a POC to connect the rcas to a factory head unit on a 08?

What kind of screen should I get for my Mazda ?

I may have bought 4 subs and they fit, however because of this video my car proceeds to shake a lot. Anyway thanks for the tutorial.

Well! Since you brought it up, maybe i'll make a year 2 version once we get close to last one's upload 😬

the amp power on should have been connected to the blue wire on the back of the stereo called r e m or blue amp wire on the stereo its self so the amp only comes on when you turn the stereo on not the egnition otherwise if you dont want the stereo on the amp will come on anyway when you turn the key

No, your radio does not control your amp power.

hey man, whats your headunit tune like? i not long done an install in my partners car and its just not pumping how it should, everythings all wired up properly and the sub and amp are good as we’ve tested in other vehicles but i’ve been told its to do with the headunit

Could be, crank the bass on the headunit 😂

Not going to lie, if the finished product is the picture in the thumbnail, you should only take away some small bits if this pertains to your can and watch how clean it can be done with minimal extra effort

So if I have a stock radio unit then I would need a line output converter to plug in my rca cables?

Hi Im about to try an 8nstall (fist time) but when I test the equipment ie amp and sub at home using a 12v plug adapter the audio works but amp goes into protect mode the moment too much bass kicks in? Any idea why this is will it still do this if its grounded in car?

@ColtonRichter

Uhhhh if I had to guess... i've never tested car audio in a house 1. You're either overpowering the amp 2. Not grounding properly in a 12v plug 3. Something just seems hella' fishy about powering that stuff with a plug adapter

@samlcyo2

If anyone else is reading this, do NOT use a cheap AC to 12V adapter to run car amplifiers... Car amps usually require much more power than those can handle. You have to match your amplifier's power needs to your power source. For example, I built a "portable" high power sound system for outside use, and it required about about 600 watts of power. So I got a 700 watt 110V AC to 12V DC power supply and it runs just fine! You could in theory use that cheapo adapter to make sure everything turns on and is working, but you cannot turn the volume up. That why the amp goes into protect.

I have an 09 mazdaspeed 3 w/ the factory Bose system, I assume the install would be fairly similar. Do you know of any differences?

Damn i feel old, when i got my first car (2000) subs and amp install was a right of passage. Buying the biggest sub and amp you could fit. Headlights dim with the bass, capacitor installs. These days its rare if i hear a vehicle with base hitting let alone just loud music.

What I did was to keep the stock head unit and replaced all door speakers with JBL Club speakers, with an additional tweeter kit installed in the wing mirror bolt covers. For bass, I got a thin 12" active subwoofer, taped the vottom full of velcro and placed it under the passenger seat. I ran audio cable vampire clipped off the speaker wires behind the head unit and power through the passenger side firewall gromit, with remote power piggybacked from a fuse in the cabin fusebox. All the cables are run under the door threshold and poke out from near the seatbelt bolts. Ground is taken from a seat bolt. Finally, the stock head unit got paired up with a Bluetooth module that pretends to be a CD changer, and music is streamed in over Bluetooth from a cheap tablet. That's the only less-than-clean bit of the entire rig. All in all, I'm happy to have a hugely improved audio quality while keeping the car looking stock. That said, a new head unit would improve sound quality, but I want one that'll connect to the internet and run both Spotify and Maps so I can lose the tablet - those head units are just pretty hard to come by.

@@ColtonRichterI bought the EFX PA8BX amp wiring kit off Crutchfield. It came with power, ground, rca, remote, and accessorys but no speaker wire. Wasn't a problem I went and bought some 12 gauge speaker wire from the hardware store but you would think it should come with the kit. Seems that's how most kits are off Crutchfield besides the kits over $100😵even though they say the kit has everything you will need to wire up your system.

You said “basically” OVER 30x in the old video. Came here just to stay sane

the connectors you used suck and should only be temporary use only (remote wire) unless they have improved in the past 20 yrs

the amp is not straight
