From the back of the Radio

Would be nice if you can show it

Raleigh NC areas

@@keithzaczek1 imma take note of this im a semi truck driver i be needing places to get someone to come out to run wires and for my audio you have any other contacts way of social media or business

@KeNnY4547 reach out to me on ZCustom Solutions on IG id be glad to help I specialize in the Trucking and transportation industries

Most definitely thats why i normally always use a add a circuits for the remote turn on because you know the amperage of the circuit as well any issues its easy to find. Glad it worked out good for you

Can you show me which fuse you tapped? I cannot find the cigarette lighter

@@yes2550 the 20 amp fuse in the fuse box in the interior driver side should be in far bottom right corner yellow fuse. Removed that then added a circuit and used 2 10 amp fuses to replace the 20

@@freddiebennettiii4836 Ty so much and God bless brother

@@yes2550 your very welcome hope that helped god bless u as well 🙏🏾

You could send me some pics of everything to my IG if you have one. ZCustom Solutions

I’m kinda anti social media I’ve got a fb profile I hardly use and email I think the settings are probably way wrong since it was tuned to the aftermarket radio I used it with before so now I’ve gotta figure out how to set it to this cheap factory radio lol

@@freddiebennettiii4836 you can send some through my email [email protected]

Cool cool thanks bro ima do that tomorrow

You have a multimeter to check the voltage at the amp while music is playing? You should have more power while driving

No no voltmeter dad does but he’s over an hour away. Only thing I haven’t checked is the connection wires behind radio which I t tapped and didn’t sotter maybe it’s not getting a good connection and I can redo the wires?

@freddiebennettiii4836 also check you battery terminals make sure they are both tight

Ok will do I’m off tomorrow I’ll update you thanks 🙏🏾

My pleasure. Glad it all worked out great for you. Enjoy it Bass On 🔊

What year is yours? And you have the base model no factory amp?

2020 fe base model worst radio system ever lol not karmon

This was for a client i posted a couple videos of it one has all the color code wires and their locations

@@keithzaczek1 thanks bro I’ll check it out 🙏🏾

@freddiebennettiii4836 no problem i think i posted one for a 2019 2020 2021

I also didn't get the logo. Some get it and some don't. 😅

You can get fish tape from harborfreight they sell one on a spool or some of their fish rods or some long zip ties but basically take a small razor blade mack a small slice in it fish your fish tape or zip tie through tape your power wire use some soapy water as a lube and pull through

Cool thanks bro I got the same rods from harbor freight. I also got the pni-35 loc will that work to run from the back of the radio to the amp my pops will be helping or do I need the Kia wiring harness? Thanks for the feedback mine is a 2020 also putting 6.5 pioneers ts600’s in the door from my old impala 😊

@freddiebennettiii4836 i used the same loc on this build for my client system still installed just his subs got damaged from some stuff he had in the trunk. I will say though take your time with that factory radio some parts are tight and stiff but once you get it out a breeze. But yea them rods tape off the end so its not to sharp and your golden.

@@keithzaczek1 got it through, through the hood release and get some sealant since the small grommet isn’t gonna go back in no way lol ran the remote/power wire down the side now trying to figure out how to get it to the trunk without damaging anything 😁😆

@freddiebennettiii4836 you got this lower the seats down pry up the floor seal panel tuck underneath make sure you go behind seatbelt and away from any carseat anchor and you should be good to go

You can but you would have to do some re wiring. Did you plan on changing out the factory speakers as well?

I think eventually, I will, but now, I need some bass.

@jch00lig4n got you . You can definitely add some bass to it . Have you thought of any options for bass yet? Equipment wise power range price range? Where are you based out of? State wise?

Yes sir by far my best subwoofers ive had. Best true bang for the buck everyone thats heard them cant believe its only 2 8s

Much appreciated. I love them

I believe so it was extremely close to the end it all depends on how you route the cables to keep it safe from moving parts and things that get hot

Yes only 2 8s on stock electrical. With a 1,250 watt amp

@keithzaczek1 that's nice bro! I have a single 12 Evl on a jp 13, and it beats! But I've been look at maybe switching to 2 tens bc I'm in a Mustang and the trunk opening is to small to get a huge box in there.

@FJTabb i feel you. And i appreciate it. Yea mustangs are on the smaller side maybe 2 10s could fit i know 2 8s would slam in that for sure.

@@keithzaczek1 you made me reconsider, so I may go that route.

@@FJTabb glad i could help. Do you have a brand preference in mind?

Im mobile but out of the Raleigh area

Ok cause I want to hear this I'm in Butner nc

Yes it is

For some 8s she sounds good I'm going to try and get a sealed box from him and see what it will do

@michaelbaldwin8869 Thanks i surely appreciate it. I love these 8s. For the price power and lows soundqubed is a win win for me. What brand you thinking of trying sealed?

Rear door speakers btw

Grab you a 9 volt battery wrap some speaker wire around the positive and negative of the 9 volt battery then unplug the speaker touch the other end of the wires to the back of the speaker terminals and once you do the speaker will name a pop noise it will move in 1 direction you want it to move towards you if it moves inward then your polarity is backwards

You can also look up 5star car stereo how to test speakers with a 9 volt battery it gives you a great example hope this helps you out

Back then I think was like $360. There are alot of options out their now for a 2 8s box

My pleasure

No DSP.

Much appreciated 🙏. I've always loved this setup

I would say a mixture of both. It depends on the enclosure they definitely have a lot of spl but to me they still sound great especially for the price for sure. I've enjoyed them over the past 5 years. To me they are amazing

@@keithzaczek1 would it be a good beginner sub it’s cause i never really owned a sub and i been wanting to add some bass into my car

I would say it definitely surpasses a beginner sub. What kind of vehicle do you have? And what would you say your budget is for equipment?

@@keithzaczek1 i really don’t got a budget i would be putting it in a dodge ram 2009 crew can under the seat just 1 sub

@Uriel Sanchez I got you. I mean yea soundqubed is a great choice for output at a great price. I think they are currently out of stock I'm not 100% sure. Me personally I would stay away from skar Sundown is alright me personally I like the sound of soundqubed over Sundown especially for the price. But for a single 8 I'd say soundqubed kicker DD DB Driver JL I mean there is alot of 8s out there that are very similar in sound and prices. With a proper enclosure and a reputable brand and amplifier you can't go wrong.

There is no wrong way to face a speaker

Yes I installed a loc behind the radio grabbing the front door signals. But removing the factory radio is not a basic simple task. You could easily just remove one of the front door panels pull out the door speaker test the wires to find positive and negative with a 9volt battery and then just find that twisted pair in the drivers side kick panel and take both pairs of wires coming off the loc twist the two positive together splice into the front drivers Door positive and the same for the negative and you will be all set. It might sound like a lot but the door panel and kick panel is way easier to remove than the radio. There are plenty of removal videos on KZbin for either option. Hope this helps you out

@@keithzaczek1 i appreciate you responding back fast thank you Sir😎

@Clifford Cain no problem let me know if I can be of any more assistance 👊

My pleasure was glad it helped you out.

I can make a quick video for your ride today with the wiring diagram. Would that help you out?

@@keithzaczek1 sure that would be wonderful. But I have a 2015 Kia Forte K3 Singapore model

@Dane Cole sounds good I'm driving right now when I get home I'll out your vehicle in my platform and get it posted for you

Really it's like that

Very much appreciated. I currently have 8awg power wire that I ran for speaker wire. I just made all my connections on the inside of the box with 8awg and ran a pair of 8awg coming out the box. But 10awg should be perfect .

@ZCustoms cool, yea I didn't think I would need 8g and thought the 10g speaker wire would be plenty. Gonna order some skyhigh 10g now thanks bro keep pounding💯🔊💨

@@johnnypiper1717 Most definitely. You won't be disappointed. To you as well 🔊 On my Friend
