that extra mile of vacuuming the area before the install is awesome I've seen another installer how doesn't care and just plops the amp right on top of the trash oh and the you could have just open the door part had me rolling

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

The Beige Wonder thank you, never enough soap.

[@wal]

Love to see you guys show that ultra clean work with the amp mounting and wiring. The music was great too! I've got both the Pioneer and Kenwood 5 channel amps I'll be testing in the upcoming weeks. Merry Christmas to everyone at Five Star Car Stereo!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Thank you and Merry Christmas Big D!

[@KINGKJ2REAL]

When you have all the tools to do a clean install it makes everything else easy. I ordered some Tessa tape and some of those things that go on the end of the wires and it makes such a big difference

[@jmaslin]

Awesome job yet again, even enjoyed the music in the soundtrack LOL. Have a good day guys!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

jmaslin thanks, wanted to try something different for the music.

[@aantonio06]

I follow other " popular car audio guys" here on youtube because of all the neat stuff they do and machines they have, but you guys keep it so simple and so professional and easy to understand. I love the simplicity of your work, cleanliness, and professional look. I see you guys are getting quite a following because of this. Great Job!

I’m going to come visit you guys in Clearwater. I hope I can afford you for a 911 save my 2014 4RUNNER and then do a great install on my son’s 2016 Tacoma SR5 Access cab. That 2nd install is for him as a surprise that we will deliver to him in the next couple of months. He’s active duty US Navy and hasn’t had his truck for several months. You guys really know what you are doing! Very impressed with your knowledge and skills in the car audio arena. See you soon, hope I can afford you and that you can save my already purchased equipment. Keep up the great on line shares. It’s so obvious you do stuff right. MB

[@bloreguyrocks]

What a clean work good installation. We don't have this kind of material in India if it is available it will be too expensive.But still works with cheap material:)

[@Oz.1000]

You guys gave me an idea I like how you guys ran the cables straight to the harness instead of running Brand New speaker cable from the speaker

[@brenttesterman1198]

Great information and camera work but that music was fricking brutal! Thanks edit: at 6:24 the music got a lot better.

[@taehughes7022]

So what if you use the heat on the floorboard will it over heat the amp please reply I'm actually using your video right now to install

[@johnebuckland]

great vid!!!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

John Buckland thank you

[@brianpatterson7034]

I've been in the installation game for 20+ years worked in a lot of different shops in my area. I have to say you guys do clean work and work well together. keep up the good work. also where can I order the rivet gun?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Brian Patterson thank you.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

[@alpinedb150]

fantastic! I got the same amp and would've had you do the install if I lived in Florida ☹

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

alpinedb150 thank you

[@jorgeplaza3406]

What model is it?

[@aglibertosantos803]

I love ❤️ this channel

[@gondokist]

(for home application) if we use an active subwoofer will it still draw power from the amplifier and still have to formulated first or just plug it in into a pairs of the socket (back L & R maybe) since it already have it own power source??

[@aang6421]

When you drill into the bottom, how deep are you going? Are you also painting the bare metal to protect against rust? I want to mount underneath my seat and I am worried about that

[@raygandavis7707]

professionally done.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Raygan Davis thank you

[@daddyabdul6125]

Nice.

[@luisamoa2500]

Isn't the new amp location covering the floor air outlets? Extra heat blowing unto amp.

[@poogy1111]

Question how do I make my mids rack of 4 to 6 speakers to play in 2 ohms or is it best to jus leave it at 4 n how to pick the kind of amp for this set up

[@andrewrieta482]

This video is great, got me wanting Italian for dinner, wait a minute. Now I want Mexican.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Andrew Rieta I'm glad you noticed. I was looking for some fun music to set the mood.

[@djames2609]

man I wish you was near Dallas, Tx,

[@Sayeed3131]

Hi can u please me setting gains on my 4 channel amp(blaupunkt) which is powered by pioneer avh 299bt.. Would be great if I can set it using multimeter

[@jonniewalker1725]

How do I use the Stinger Speed Wire with my soon to be installed Maestro / DMX7704s / Excelon 5-channel amp without cutting the factory harness? It's going in a non-amplified factory 2015 RAM 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel Crew Cab.

[@rashouse]

LOVE THE HERTZ SHIRT...HOT ME SOME CENTOS 6X9 IN DOORAND REAR...AWESOME SOUND

[@dailygrinders89]

very clean install. wish I could find an installer like this in VA

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

DAILYGRIND thank you

[@flavioescamilla8893]

So I have a 2016 f150 and I recently bought a pair of type-R shallow 12's and all type-R speakers for front and back; including tweeters. Would this amp be good enough to handle all of that?

[@brandonfarmer7446]

Man that was a super clean install plan on doing the same type set up in my avalanche just curious on how wire my factory speakers to the amp i see all the new wires from the amp to the radio but does it all just wire in the factory harness like a y harness kind of confused

[@RobHTech]

Always like the vids. polarity does not equal phase.

[@warrenkeller9464]

I’m looking to have a 5 channel amp in my car. Did you install the five channel amp to stock speakers here?

[@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 .

[@migueljauregui264]

Just wondering what size ferrules you used with the speed wire I can find any spec on the size of the speaker inputs thanks you guys have the best install videos

[@boloyung88]

I have an 1972 Chevy Impala and was wondering for four 6x9 and two smaller 6'x in the front with two twetters what kind of amp would you recommend?

[@curtisskysmith2418]

\wesome work, great in front of a camera. How come you guys aren't famous

[@Hellbound831]

What do you need to have that 5.1 sorround sound in your car? I have a 02 rsx with a jvc kd avx77 and want to take advantage of that feature. What amp do I need and what else.

[@BeginnerBikeLife]

I need links to all of your install accessories, your installs are super clean.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Victor Soders give me a couple of days I will put it in the description.

[@BeginnerBikeLife]

Thanks, and No Worries

[@shckltnebay]

Still no links, what happened to a couple days? LOL

[@barrettevans9182]

First I'd like to say I love your videos and detailed information about the products you use. I've always been a mono sub setup with a maybe a 2 to 4 channel for mids and highs. I just bought a Kia amanti with a factory infinity system. It has 4 components (each door 6.5 and tweeter) a 8in sub in the rear deck. It has an underpowered 225 watt factory jbl I'm assuming it's 5 channel amp which is mounted in the left back of trunk. In nice out of the way area. I'm wanting to replace the 5 channel with more powerful one to run a better 8in sub and upgraded components. Also I want to add a mono block for my 2 12 jl w3's. Ultimately I'm going for a quality sound with the 8 providing quick mid range bass and the components doing there normal mid to high levels and of course my 12s doing there job. In my mind it sounds good but I'm not familiar with running 6 channels except in my house. I thought about a 4 channel and a smaller mono for the 8 plus a separate mono for the 12s (ran in series). I really would like to only run 2 amps. You have any ideas or videos perhaps on what I'm going for?

[@RickRoood]

What speakers did they have. I'm looking into buying this amp along with alpine s-s65c keeping it all alpine.

[@jdpdata]

Love watching all your installs. Each as meticulous and clean as the next. Wish you guys were in Southern California, I'd bring all my cars to you for installs. I'm thinking about doing a 5-channel amp upgrade for my '06 4runner. Any recommendations? currently have Pioneer AVIC-Z1 driving stock speakers but will upgrade that to 8200 NEX or Kenwood 9903s. Will need speakers upgrade recommendations too.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

John Pham check out the Kenwood Excelon line of 5 channel amps, they make 2. Their 7" line of Excelon speakers are also very nice. Focal also make a Toyota perfect fit speaker also.

[@daveponce5266]

Question is that a good location for the amp? The AC and heat come out from that vent!

[@core2duodell]

Could you do a video going over that drawer of testing equipment you have? The one where you pulled the phase tester from. It would be cool to go over those types of tools and how to use them

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Michael Perez yes we definitely will be doing that.

[@KingKhu0ng]

@5:28. What wires are those to and from? They coming from the door speakers. Or did you go in from behind the head unit? Thank you.

[@marccym29]

Hello. I have a question. I have 5ch amp and I have my speaks and small subwoofer to it. All connected but when music low or on pause. There is like a static sound. On front and rear speaker. Any idea what can cause it?

[@MrDjmurdock]

Have a question for a 5 Chanel amp if the 4 speakers are @4ohms does the sub have to be 4 ohms or can the sub be @2 ohms ?

[@JDMSMOKEY03]

That’s funny u say screw em back down. I just did that with this amp I just got used. I always tell my buddies to do the same. Haha

[@LandonRoy-cv9rt]

Install clean AF

[@TheaterAtReference]

man you guys should set up shop in L.A you guys would sky rocket

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

stryker7x yes LA and Dallas seem to be hot.

[@titis16155]

YOU GUYS DO GOOD WORK 💪🏻😳👍🏻🇲🇽❤️

[@dirtyglovekennels616]

What did you use to do the speaker phase test with?, I need one of those....

[@CheezyBurg3r]

Nice vidoe as always. I have 16 honda accord with 7speakers include an oem sub (one), want to add after market amp and subs. I am using a LOC for my amp but should I tap the wire to the rear speakers or the OEM sub woofer(one)? And i will not use the oem sub? Hope this makes sense...

[@numinous4789]

Do you use twisted pair or single-ended RCAs on that Alpine line? I forget if they're differential input or not (even though I have two of them - a 4-channel and a monoblock sub amp, LOL).

[@213gixxer]

How do u secure the connections to the power and ground?? With only the shrink wrap??

[@meanpaintandbody]

Were do u get the cable with the little wires inside? do u have a video about it? Also did you connect them to the radio harness? Or was it a amp bypass thing sorry if i seem lost

[@racheleng6533]

Are there any pros/cons to placing the amp drivers side vs passenger side?

[@khalidmohammed6428]

How did you run the speaker wire from the amp to all the interior speakers?

[@stephenjones8842]

So 5 channel is what i want? I want a sub and to amp 4 door speakers.. Hook the sub up but where the outputs for the speakers from the app just tap them into headunit harness

[@jayrocwitdalocs2653]

I currently have a five channel amp installed in my vehicle my head unit has three sets of RCA inputs but the head unit I want to buy doesn’t have that many what can I do
