hey guys i have just recently bought 2 alpine type-s subs both 12 inch im just wondering if i need to buy new deck or can i someone use stock and hook up a amp and do i have to do this a certain way? I m gonna get a Mtx 1000watt amp but need some help thanks guys.

 

get a line out converter, tap into your rear speakers. Hook up the amp to your loc and you're set.

 

thanks man

 

someone told me that if im running after market amp i cant do it this way?

 

do the line out converter, its simpliest. whoever told you it doesnt work doesnt know what they are talking about. tap into the rear speakers, then run the RCA cables from that into the your amp input.

 

x3

 

aight cool thanks guys my setups gonna be stock pioneer, kicker cvr, 2 Rocksford Fosgate and i think my buddys got 3000watt amp all 10 inch subs

 

ya dont mix and match... and no offence but ur buddy probably doesnt have a 3000w rms amp. maybe 3000 peak which could range from 400-1500 rms but not 3000rms

 

yeah no its not 3000rms its 1400 rms i believe and mix match is the only way haha

 

lol so ur gonna have 2 alpines 12, 2 fosgate 10s, cvr 10 and stock 10?

 

nah i sold my 2 alpines im just gonna run cvr10 2 fosgate 10 and stocker

 

i am wondering with the line convertor can i have 2 amps hooked up? and do i need to run anything to my factory deck?

 

yes you can either get a line output converter like the scoche 4 channel one to get 4 rca's out or with a normal one use a y splitter

 

do i have to take out factory deck to hook up the remote wire or no?

 

im not for sure on the dual amp....why do u need so many subs or is there just 2 subs in a dual box?

the remote wire plugs into something that turns on when the car starts. if want to do it the easy way tap into a fuse or something

 

i got 1 12 kicker cvr, 10 kicker cvr, 2 10 rockford fosgate and just gonna keep stocker in... yeah i might need to some how add a fuse

 

you can either go to autozone buy something called "add a fuse" pull the wiper or sunroof fuse and put that instead and run the remote wire to the back or if you have the pioneer system behind the radio tap the pink wire, attach a fuse inline and run the remote back

 

ill prob go to part source or something like that no autozone here but add a fuse i dont wanna take apart my dash thats the reason why im keeping stock deck i got the 6 cd pioneer system

but the amps have fuses couldnt i just take those fuses out?

 

When I installed my sub/amp, I used these two guides on how to install/ remove the seats and everything else. Very good write ups with great instructions on what to do.

How-to sub install

How-to upgrade stock sub with original housing
Another great guide, but for replacing the sub in the same housing, very similar to the first guide.
