Get it kid I love watching people upgrade. And actually understand why they are upgrading

Good job on the install. I can see you growing on to bigger and better things.

Keep up the great job on your system bud, look forward to seeing how far you go with it. Its crazy but for me its never enough lol

Well done Parker! These are the parts car audio that aren't all that sexy, but actually more important than all the other stuff people love to watch. Every time I do a system on my own vehicles I start with a high amperage alternator, extra agm battery in back & welding wire or ofc before I even figure out what brand equipment I'm gonna use. You can't build a mansion on mud.... also, I'm very grateful for all your subwoofer comparison vids, they've helped me decide what to install

Great video Parker 👍, I still have to do the big 3 on my truck, hopefully I get it done soon

Listening to this in my 13 explorer sportand out sounded like I have a sound system in there. It's good to hear good sound without the distortion! Keep up the great work!!

Big 3 is a quick job once all supplies are available. My alternator and engine ground were behind my intake shroud which limited access, but still did in less than 1 hour without taking apart my engine.

Ah,you know what your doing.I love seeing all your projects.

Thumbs up for immediate honesty!

Nice Parker your slowly getting better audio since last time :D

Awesome video. A few suggestions I will give is always run power and signal separate ,add another ground from motor to frame and attend some car audio shows so you can hang out and get awesome insight on others builds to help further your knowledge. Most importantly do what makes you happy the rest will follow.

Awesome man! I'm digging it! I'd love to hear a demo lol. But nice, clean daily driver setup man!

Nice glad to see this video up today!

Run your rca opposite of power, you can turn that sub up a bit louder too. It'll handle a lot. Other than that it looks great. Wiring was done right and looks organized.

Good video bro! I have a Taramps 3k and ran it with a 4guage. I just ordered my 0 guage hoping it will feed it more power. And I like the link to the alternator you did as well as upgraded the ground for the battery. GOOD STUFF MAN!!! 🤘😎

Cool video. Keep bangin. Bass heads forever.

Bro...you did a great job on those wires!

Honestly that's a really good set up I like it. If your putting a 2nd battery you should upgrade to a high output alternator. I love the set up it's very nice

Congrats on your new amp. I plan on buying this amp

Looks good, simple suggestion. Take off the panel where you mounted your amp make a hole and route your cables behind the panel for a clean look. 👍🏾😎

Hey my friend your system looks like it is really starting to come around. I'm glad because you seem to really enjoy the process. If you experience any engine noise put your rca's away from your power cable. It would also greatly benefit your system if at a later date you go full copper wire.

I got a bosch agm discounted for $150 at pepboys, have never used a northstar or .ca, but the bosch is pretty good for budget. :) i really want the North star batteries that are long and slim for tight spots in the back of a car.

Nice vid..... only suggestion, Run your rca Jack's on one side of the vehicle and the power on the other..... with them running parallel on the same side.... you run the risk of picking up signal noise in the jacks from the voltage in the power wire, also use bolt, locking washer, flat washer then nut on underside.

If i buy the skar rp 1500.1 do i need the 0 gage wire or im fine with 4gage wire?

Not a bad install, that fuse holder is pretty awesome, but I’ve always been taught, and as well as all the amplifier installation manuals I’ve ever read you’re supposed to have a fuse within 18 inches of the battery under the hood, and I know everybody’s worried about the distortion with the RCA cables, and that does happen, but also I think it has to do with quality, if you were to spend the extra pocket and upgrade to what I got, which is a T 1000 Fosgate pushing 2 fosgate T1 10’s , you wouldn’t have as many distortion issues just because of the clarity and quality that is associated with the Fosgate power series, very helpful video though bud, especially for people that are still new to car audio

What song 16:50? Nice system tho! I got a sundown sa 15 on a kicker 1k and a ampere audio 300.4 & Rockford fosgate 300.2 for mids and highs

Parker I have a question for setting my gain would you tune your bass nob all the way up and then set your gain with a smd

What kind of battery terminations did you use? It be cool if you could link the exact one you used. Also what sub did you use here?

And is see that on sky high 0 gauge wire there is no option to choose ground or power so I'm assuming there the same? Unless my things glitched

Where did you get that crimping tool. I like it. And nice job on the upgrade.

Does the Orion Fuse holder with volt meter always stay on? Even if vehicle is off?

By the way, you never run wire under the car, through the fender, outside of the car, or through the door well (not door jamb, that's preferrered) because at these places the wire can either get hit with with debris or slowly rip the insulation causing a short. The best idea is to either use an existing grommet, or to make a grommet yourself at last resort. To do this, you use an open spot in the foot well and use a punch, that way you can make sure the area is open on either side of the firewall. You don't wanna drill in a brake booster 😬. After this you sand the circle you cut and put some rubber, a new vacuum line with some RTV would probably work fine and then you have a solid grommet

Good job Parker.

What settings do you have the everything at on the amp ? I have the exact combo just curious what you have them at thanks

What if i only use 1 strip of 0 gauge just for my ground can that help my bass or should i do a big 3 upgrade and upgrade my ground of my amp to 0 gauge

Run your rca's and remote wire on the right passenger side of the vehicle and power wire on the left drivers side.

So, with the 0 gauge wiring. Will the stock altenaltor hold up?

If i do my big 3 upgrade with soundbox connected 0gauge not ofc. This will work good???

Good install

So how are you running the amp with a stock alternator? is it holding up?

That bass knob don’t fit the rp2000 how do you make it fit ?

so in your opinion how much harder does it hit on a level from 1-10 ?

Great video thanks for this! Not to be a KZread troll, I"m just saying for the health of your car (and you) The fuse needs to go as close to the battery as possible because when theres a massive surge that toasts the power cable, it's going to barbecue everything from the battery to the fuse. If there's 6 feet of wire before the fuse, that's 6 slabs of ribs......

I know it’s an old vid but where did you ground ? I have the same Jeep

Could you explain how you mounted the amp? Thanks

Do you need a high output alternator to run that skar amp

I did the big 3 upgrade & it went totally wrong , radio was working but wouldn’t turn off , now it’s off & won’t cut back on 🤔 can’t hear my door/warning chimes either so Ik it’s my radio I’m thinking I blew my radio fuse , anybody know why this happened & how to prevent it??

I’m doing this upgrade do I need to upgrade my battery.

Did u buy all this seperate or in a kit?

The box don’t need to be tuned lower it’s just the amp they don’t play lows for nothing i just got one for my dd 612s and I hate it wish I would have never gotten rid of my kicker will be getting a kicker cxa1800 to replace it asap

hate to say it but if you just went from OFC 4ga to 1/0 CCA then you basically didnt gain hardly anything other than a fat run of wire . props for trying .

I like the copper lugs you are using, that's the way to go instead of crimp style ring terminals imo. However I like to tourch the lug and fill it up about half way with a pool solder, push my wire in, hold it until it sets..... then its cock stiff, I can pull as hard as I want and it wont come out, i dont even bother crimping after that.

Remember you should always fuse closest to the battery in case of a short
