5 Channel Amplifier Installation (JL Audio XD 700/5) | AnthonyJ350

[@ekong85]

Do I have to plug another set up RCA cables from my 5 channel amp to the HU separately, for my subwoofer? I will bridge 4 of the channels to power a pair of 2 way component speakers for the front (massive ck6). Im using the last channel to install a subwoofer. Currently I have a set of RCA cables plugged into my HU's front speaker output, to my amplifier.

[@paulgeorge9614]

Hey im looking to add a center speaker to my car audio system i have a center dash grill with no speaker in it i have a aftermarket 4channel head unit and im also running a 2 channel bridged 600w amp off my subwoofer pre amp rca my question is how would i go about wiring my "center channel" center speaker to play both left and right(mono i guess) thanks

[@saskueify]

thanks for making a video that no-one can see

[@AnthonyJ350]

+Diamond Louis XIV You can donate some money so I can invest it in lighting. Because talk is cheap. Sorry for the free information that I take the time to make for people like you, to have just complain for no good reason. But I'll keep trying.

[@saskueify]

AnthonyJ350​ It's called a flashlight idiot, stop asking for handouts. I came here for a burger and you gave me an inedible piece of shit. I don't feel bad for you

[@AnthonyJ350]

+Diamond Louis XIV Well I can't turn back time, but if you look at my newer videos there's more lighting. It's funny how you can be so critical of my stuff when most of your videos have black bars on the side because you're holding your phone the wrong way for video. But at least you post videos compared to most trolls. And the quality is what I expect.

[@saskueify]

AnthonyJ350​ I'm not even a serious KZbinr. I post for shits and giggles not to relay serious info. All you had to fucking do is tell me what plugs into what and where but you just pointed at a black cavern that I assume was your engine...Just saying...your wasting your own time and mine by making bad vids

[@AnthonyJ350]

Diamond Louis XIV Well know this. Instead of giving constructive criticism you come off as a self entitled little s***. I have corrected this issue over the past year. And not everyone is perfect, so yes my earlier videos aren't the greatest. But it's ok I make enough $$$ which reflect my improvements. Don't expect someone like me to help out someone like you that comments with that much disrespect.

[@renedelafuente123]

Thanks for the video. In your opinion which amp is the best or close to it for sounding great and staying nice n cool at 5 or 6 channel level?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Tony Garza Ahhhhhh so many choices! What kind of car do you have and what kind of music do you typically listen to and budget? Let's start with that.

[@enriquedelapezuela2206]

Anthony great video, question for you. I have Alpine HU w/ 6 RCA pre amp outputs, w/ stock tweeters in dash, Kicker Components in front doors and Kicker 6x9s in read deck. I am looking to add a 5 channel amp so I can get clear sound and also add a Sub later on. My question to you is, I believe Stock Dash Tweets are connected with door spkrs, where I connected the Components. When I install Amp will I have to separate comp from dash tweets, or just wire to comps and it should feed dash tweets?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Typically the factory tweets have a capacitor wired in line so they don't play lower frequencies. If you're running the set up now off your Alpine, I see no problem amplifying them. Just when you set it up play it at low volume and monitor for distortion.

[@RacerXSOBE]

Final question, I will be running an extra pair of RCAs for the Future sub, should I leave them plugged into the amp even though there is no sub at this time, or will that weaken other signals?

[@AnthonyJ350]

You can plug the RCA's in with no sub. I just wouldn't put the speaker leads in, until you have your sub ready to hook up.

[@AzzenGear]

Cool Vid! Hey AnthonyJ- I wanna run two 6 3/4 subs to my rear doors. I have a 5 channel amp and understand how to wire the front door components and the top rear coaxial and it would be simple to wire to a single sub but there's going to be two. How do I run the wire?

[@AnthonyJ350]

stewnta How many voice coils does the sub have and at what load? You might want to watch my "how to wire subs in series or parallel" video.

[@philiphan6997]

I know this is an old thread. I'm using this same amp with a stock honda head unit with separate tweeter and woofer leads. How do I get both leads into the amp? Do i just combined them and RCA them to the amp? Will this damage the head unit?

[@AnthonyJ350]

You'll need to install some sort of passive cross over. Like a cap on the positive line of the tweeter or a passive cross over from an aftermarket speaker. Or delete the rear speakers. Put the tweeters on the front channel of the amp and the woofers on the rear and cross them over at the amplifier.

[@AmulLuthra]

How to get that subwoofer signal. I mean I can get 4 rca signals from each of my speaker signals but please tell me how to get 6...Thanks

[@AnthonyJ350]

You need a summing device like Audio Controls LC7i, or use the pre-out on your 4 channel to drive the mono block sub amp, or use a signal processor.

[@NARINDERSINGH-mg6uk]

Can you guys show some tips for hooking 12” kicker es to 6 channel amp(Audison lrx 6.9)just sub no speakers they are hooked to my head unit Sony xplod .

[@AnthonyJ350]

Just follow the video or my other amplifier videos

[@StraightOuttaRockies]

Hey Anthony, I'm using the same amp for just my subwoofer. I'm adding just a subwoofer to the stock stereo using line output convertor. For the RCA output coming out of line output convertor where will they go in the amp? I'm assuming on the right hand side where it says SUB Channel? And as I'm adding just the sub, will I be selecting 2 channel model for Input mode? Thank you!

[@AnthonyJ350]

How many channels is the amplifier?

[@alexv5585]

Hi Anthony can you make a video on how to wire a 4ch amp to a stock head unit and aftermarket speakers

[@AnthonyJ350]

I'll try to get around to it when the right vehicle comes along my way.

[@alexv5585]

Could you explain how I wanted to wire the stereo with lc7i processor

[@LiLViSsS]

Hey AnthonyJ350 I'm trying to save $150 and install myself, a 4ch and mono With the stinger wiring kit, is soldering on the terminals a necessity? And with the fuse holder at the beginning, will i need to do what you did with it? (i'm not sure what that was) Thanks a tonne

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's a good idea to solder the terminals but technically you don't have to. If you're not too sure about doing the battery hook up I'd suggest asking a shop like mine to do that part for you (so the labour cost is a little less) and do the rest yourself.

[@snickerkiller7]

Just a quick question that no one shows, Im going to in the future buy myself a mono block amp and i have a after market stereo. My question is when running the RCA wires from the amp to the head unit, what RCA plug ins do you plug the RCA cables from the amp into? I have 3 sets one for front, one for rear, and one for sub woofer. Do i plug the RCA wires from the amp into the Sub woofer RCA inputs?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Nick Marolt If you're hooking your mono block amp to subs, hook the RCA's up to the subwoofer output on the back of the deck.

[@snickerkiller7]

AnthonyJ350 Thank you so much, I couldn't find anyone who explained it in detail!

[@vmsr1]

Nice 6:41 pure dark video ! ! ! :D

[@jesussepulveda9426]

Have you ever hear about a flashlight the work great

[@AnthonyJ350]

jesus Sepulveda Thanks for the suggestion!

[@DR-um2bv]

on a 5 channel amp when it says 75w x4 & 300w x1 @ 4 ohms then 100w x4 & 600w x 1 @ 2 ohms. do you have to connect the 4 channel side on 2ohms in order to get 100w for the 4 channel side or is it all determined by how the 5th channel is configured 4 ohms or 2 ohms?

[@TickleFingers]

D Rogers It's the impedance required by the speakers that dictates the draw on the amp. A 2 ohm speaker will pull a 2 ohm load from the amp, 4 ohm speaker will pull 4 ohms, and so on. Most car audio speakers are 4 ohms, but two 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel will yield a 2 ohm impedance. Those same two 4 ohm speakers wired in series will yield an 8 ohm impedance. A single voice coil sub at 4 ohms will pull 4 ohms, but a dual 4 ohm voice coil sub will yield 2 ohms or 8 ohms depending on wiring. If you put another 4 ohm voice coil sub in the mix you could wire 2 dual 4 ohm voice coil subs to be a 4 ohm final impedance. So, in summary, your speakers and your configuration dictates the load in the amp and is not something you can just select the amp to output. This is why amps will state that they are not stable at certain impedance and you should avoid configuring your speakers to draw a load the amplifier cannot properly handle. You'll experience potential adverse effects. There is also increased total harmonic distortion associated with lower impedance, but it does in most cases produce a higher overall power output. If you run a 2 ohm load on the sub channel and 4 ohm on the 4 channel, the amp will output according to the load for each channel. So in your scenario, the 4 channel would be running 75 watts at 4 ohms and 600 watts at 2 ohms on the sub. It is important to understand each piece of your system and select according to your desired end result. There is a lot to audio...... A LOT!

[@AnthonyJ350]

The output of the amp changes to depending on the load the speaker provides.

[@johnnyp4466]

what terminals do you use it you want to bridge the sub channel?

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's a mono output on the amplifier shown

[@carlosfrances01]

One question. Can i install 4 speakers and 1 subwoof to a 5 channel amp ? Somebody told me to run then with a separate amp . One for sub and one for speakers . Thanks

[@AnthonyJ350]

***** The 5 channel is designed to run 4 speakers and a sub woofer. You could also run a 4 channel and a seperate mono block amp for the sub.

[@carlosfrances01]

Thanks anthonyj350

[@AnthonyJ350]

***** Make sure you also use good quality wire and the appropriate thickness.

[@carlosfrances01]

AnthonyJ350 Thanks! Which cable you recomend for the 5 channel.amp and sub?

[@AnthonyJ350]

***** I like all the Stinger Elite series wiring.

[@arulpeter]

Such a useful video now I know how not to make a video

[@RichGarciaTv]

Arul Peter lol

[@jeremythomas7792]

Lol

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@godreacter288]

i was wondering how long hertz amps usally last becuse i had one for a year and it blew up

[@AnthonyJ350]

+wyatt jones (godreacter) What model? How was it installed? Did it just stop working? What resistance load did you have on the amp?

[@godreacter288]

+AnthonyJ350 it was a hcp 1d about 300w i believe and i opened it 2 diodes had caught fire

[@godreacter288]

+wyatt jones (godreacter) 4 ohms and i belive i was fully loading it but im not sure

[@ferewberehe7069]

Night war bad!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@larrylawson6569]

This doesn't address the empty Power Connector, Ground Connector, Remote Turn-On Connector, as well as the empty sockets for the output channels. Looking around I cannot find a kit/guide, etc for this. If I had known these would be bare empty sockets, I would have gone with another amp mfgr.

[@AnthonyJ350]

You can use ferrules. I talk about them here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZKWaIqkgZuCrtE

[@RobertoRodriguez-ce3iu]

Do you have any channel or page on Facebook ?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Yup just search AnthonyJ350 on facebook or go to Www.gofasthavefun.ca

[@MrLabigdawg]

this video is to dark. I cant really see what going on.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the feedback, we've made changes since the video.

[@highspeed9518]

If you are running shielded quality rca cables and a jl amp you shouldn't have to worry about feedback

[@AnthonyJ350]

You never know, never hurts to go the extra mile.

[@newbean96]

Whats a mili ?

[@AnthonyJ350]

newbean96 It's the model of Hertz Audio speakers that were installed in the vehicle.

[@thereal442]

newbean96 A song by lil wayne lol

[@BrentW19]

you confused me with the cross over box...

[@AnthonyJ350]

Refer to the instruction manual, speaker brands may be a bit different

[@portmurphy1]

Can you bridge this amp for full power to 1 or 2 subs ❓

[@AnthonyJ350]

No, you can only adjust the load by wiring your subs in series or parallel.

[@LerRhann]

Video is too dark. Mic is too quiet. shouldn't put booties on before soldering. Did I miss anything?

[@7046463]

if only there is enough light. :((

[@Van_frederick]

ahh, thats why i got engine noise, i ran all the wires together, 4 guage wire.

[@AnthonyJ350]

You can try running a long ground from the head unit and ground it with the amp. We run one with our rcas all the time now to avoid ground loops.

[@ElJosuecito1]

Ur videos need more light.

[@AnthonyJ350]

ElJosuecito1 Ya I know it's the next thing we have to buy for upgrading our gear.

[@victorlopez1114]

to dark need a flash light

[@AnthonyJ350]

Noted, we've made upgrades to our facilities and gear.

[@emmanuelvega1270]

LOL if you get Tboned the last thing on your mind is wire running through your door.

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's a fire hazard in that situation because if the wire get's pinched it could short and if the fuse doesn't blow or is installed incorrectly the wire will just light up.

[@inorite4553]

I have a suggestion, Get yourself a shop light or spot light. I can't see shit.

[@AnthonyJ350]

We did, this video was made 4 years ago.

[@inorite4553]

......Ok.....ummmm...then get yourself a Delorean, go back in time and properly illuminate your video. :-) j/k

[@xbox360rocksful]

You need all that just to power up a JL audio 8" sub woofer, wow. I am sorry but you will low that damn sub with that power.

[@AnthonyJ350]

How do you figure? That JL Audio sub handles 250 watts rms and that amp will only put out 300 watts rms at a 2 ohm load and 180 watts on a 4 ohm load. That's totally within spec of each other.

[@blackman7249]

So basically what I need to do is turn off all light sources and let the leds from my equipment guide me. I see. The amps will light the way. I guess I’m the only one who gets this video. You don’t need to see to install.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Black man Thanks for the feedback!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Black man How about this video instead? Sorry at the time of that video I didn't have the funds to invest in more lighting.

[@flowtime1]

This shit is too dark to be useful, see ya...

[@desalineredux435]

This has got to be the worst how to ever,

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@juanrojos78]

It was horrible

[@josearodriguez9601]

The explanation is good... but the video sucks big time...is horrible.. but thanks for the time..

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for watching!

[@deadsypadilla]

My headphones hit harder than your car. Gtfo

[@AnthonyJ350]

That's impossible and you know it. Do you even have a license? But I'll challenge you to that. Record the decibel level of your head phones, then I'll record this car.
