I just put subs in my 06 cobalt and put them on a switch, and am thinking of getting leds to put under the dash, but I dont know where th put the switches. I was thinking where the trunk button is so that it will be hidden. Where have you guys hid your switches? or not hid them, as long as they look good where they are at. Anyone have pictures or cool spots?

 

on the other side of the cig. lighter under the hvac controls

 

thats what i was thinking but how do i get there. What parts do I have to take off to get there?

 

I have them in the trunk pop box, right now its just a few switches sitting in there cuz i had a panel, but added more lights so needed more switches

 

Piitb

 

take out ur cup holder and u can get ur hand back there to push the switch through

 

Alright I will keep that in mind. Are there any other wires back there besides the cig outlet wires? My friend has his wires in the trunk spot and i kind of like it there.

 

what i meant was i had a piece of wood with the switches mounted on in the box but i didnt have room on it for another switch

 

oh ok so you didnt just drill holes back in the trunk box?

 

Personally i don't like to do anything i can revert, so for me drilling the panels wasn't an option a built a box that fit in the box and that had hols for the switches

 

Ok i see your point there, I don't know if I want to drill holes in my car either.

 

I know this thread is dead but i just got around to taking pics so i thought id post them

 

i put mine on the center console, uner the armrest. in the flat spot behind the change holders

 

y do u have switches for your subs lol

 

So you can shut them off when they get annoying or a cops sitting beside you at a light, Stock head unit doesn't have sub control

 

the stock Bass control doesnt turn your subs down ??

 

i turn mine up when i stop beside a cop. i've forced cops to roll up their windows a few times hahaha

 

I really don't know LOL, I haven't got them hooked up yet....
I had them in my other car and could turn them off threw the head unit so i wanted to have the option

 

A lot of people run remote switches for different reasons. I had them in my cars growing up so I could turn the subs off really fast when a cop pulled up or when i reached my neighborhood to respect my neighbors.

The bass control should be able to quiet the bass from the woofers, but only to a certain degree. The remote switch kills power to the amp all together. No need to mess with audio eq settings and it's faster.

I went the Tech Savy Route and built a car computer. MJS Gadets (Mitch, awesome dude) made an ISO interface that plugs in through your USB port. You supply a 12v power to the ISO interface and it has 12 switchable output relays that are controlled by the car computers touchscreen . Clean and fancy.

 

liar, or idiot?

 

Thread Revival Again..LOL

New switch panel, put this one in the glove box



top 2 are cup holders
bottom 2 are dash/seat underglow

 

i see. i just drilled holes in the back of where the trunk pullout is. I didnt want to go through and build a box, just as easy and taking out the pullout and putting them right in the plastic lol.

 

uhh turn the stereo down?

 

I have a switch on my remote turn on so i can turn the sub off when i don't have the car running but want the radio so i don't drain the battery.

Like when washing and detailing the car.
At a fast food place eating in the car.
I put my sub switch on the drivers side of the center console. And since it's a black switch you don't even see it.

 

believe me or not its true. during the day they can't do **** up here in regards to that.
