True. I haven’t had subs in 3 years now. I’m still experiencing withdraw. Finally replaced all the speakers, added an apple car play stereo, 5 channel amp and just ordered a JL Audio 10W0v3-4. (4 ohm 10 inch subwoofer) Nothing too crazy but it’s definitely going to bump. 😎

As a beginner (i mean fresh beginner) wiring has been a big fear of mine, so easy to mess up. This definitely helps break down the components an what half of car tube is talking about. Understanding how these components work with each other kinda help understand what steps ill have to do in between the next

There's not much to it. Luckily theres enough colors for every different speaker. If you were colorblind or could only see white and black this job would basically be undoable for most people

I went to electronics school, but it’s been awhile since I’ve worked in the field, so I wanted a refresher before installing a car system and this is a great, great tutorial. It’s done so anyone can understand, but it’s also solid on the technical side. You did a great job man!

I have a ddx396. I didnt think it was the bottom of the line in the echelon series. Maybe it is now but years ago it wasn't. I will say that I installed that head unit and kenwood sport speakers (def not the top of the line speakers) and then put a Kicker 10” low profile competition sub and kicker 400 watt amp with remote in my 2005 Ford F150 STX and then moved the system to my 2002 Tundra SR-5 and in both trucks the sound was absolutely wonderful. I did have to make sure I set all the settings and crossover just right but when everything was dialed in I was very impressed. I think you'll love the DDX396. Just don't piss of your girlfriend so bad that she throws a fit and kicks your head unit blacking out the left side of the screen. That sucks! Would have gotten rid of her but we already had beautiful twin boys together so I let it slide even though it definitely chapped my ass!!

Nicky explained, I was kinda confused on why i would rewire the speakers but now I get it.

From what i've read online, the factory installed speaker wires are perfectly fine for the typical low wattage output comming from the factory installed radio and good for up to 75watts when comming from an aftermarket amplifier, higher wattage output will require thicker gauge wire and rewiring of the speakers throughout the vehicle is a must. FYI on that metra 70-2003 GM harness adapter, i came across one of those for installing an aftermarket radio only in my 2005 gmc sierra truck and the wires arent exactly one to one, speaking only for the speaker wires, if you match all wires color for color, you will get exactly left and right channels as it should be for the front and rear, but the fader channeling is backwards, when fading to the front on the HU, you will get the rears, and vise versa, other than that, its a great adapter.
