This 2008 Nissan Altima was decked out in full NVX car audio gear. We filmed the entire installation process so you could see what we used, what we took out, how we did the install, and we share a few tips and tricks along the way. After ripping out the previous sound system (JL Audio, Infinity, Rockford Fosgate, & Bazooka) , we got to work and ended up with a high quality sounding system that got loud enough to rattle some teeth. Who needs teeth anyway? (By the way, be sure not to miss the bloopers at the end of the video!)

Two 12" Subwoofers:

The previous build Is exactly why I do my own work, if I get stuck on something then KZbin will definitely have a video tutorial for me to watch and learn

[@blakeparthenay3049]

And a stand alone fuel management system; Not a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars...

[@treydaypnw]

Man these installs cost customers a pretty penny I bet! You guys do an Excellent job installing these sound systems!

[@L1661N6]

Wow, you guys have done such a thorough job with this install, that for the first time ever, I am actually considering a professional installation for my stereo, as long as it is up to par with this one here. Good job guys.

[@SonicElectronix]

Always happy to hear from a satisfied customer. And yes! We do have a stereo install video. You should be able to find it in our "Installation Videos" playlist. That video covers both single din and double din stereos and their common mounting methods. It should give you a pretty good idea of what you'll be doing for your install.

[@Jigaboo1929]

I passed gas

[@firebirdude2]

Of course you're impressed with the NVX gear..... it's Sonic house brand. lol

[@That_fishing_kid3]

From what I can tell nvx is pretty good stuff

[@BelligerentSky]

And here I am, excited just to install a 12 inch sub in mine.

[@TechTipsForYou]

Thanks for all your tips guys! I rewired my back speakers and did a super clean install. Glad I have speakers in my car now lol

[@theDIGITALperception]

Real nice install, you guys are true pro's. Attention to detail was superb

[@BASSonDemand88]

Awesome job guys!!! I usually stay away from install bays BECAUSE of the things you found in the beginning of the video lol! Definitely know what you are doing and I bet it sounds amazing!!!

[@SonicElectronix]

Thank you for the compliment. :) Check your local shops and ask them how they do their work before making a commitment. The previous install on this car was horrible, we almost cried.

[@hilltop985]

Allyn doesn't look like u miss soundman to much... U still have that incredible craftsmanship... Keep up the clean work....

[@joe3393]

Brendan as greatly improved as an installer. Love the work buddy

[@wal]

Great video! Miss Allyn and Doug from Soundman doing vids together, but glad you are both successful!! Keep it old school

[@jjhosey]

Ok the best installers I have seen yet super clean work

[@SonicElectronix]

Each sub was a Dual 2 ohm sub wired in parallel to 1 ohm load on it's own amp. We had a JAD1200.1 for each sub, 1200W RMS at 1 ohm.

[@saquist]

WOW

[@ronaldpena3606]

Thanks guys I hope you guys do more of these videos I loved it?

[@jeremybeyers6471]

Awesome setup guys keep up the great work

[@focused313]

These type of vids are why if I have a shop install something, I pull it apart to see the details.

[@SonicElectronix]

Yes we ran the wires to the subs from the amps under the seat to the trunk.

[@larrytaylor5222]

When he was talking about the pros of using factory looms is you can separate wires as needed to avoid any static or feedback if the power wiring for the amps is too close to the wires that go from the stereo to the amp.

[@Droking187]

very nice install guys one of the better videos from sonic but you guys rule anyways making any retail stereo shop piss themselves at least where I live lol. very professional!!

[@thercman96]

You guys should make more videos like this. This was great

[@benigo15]

"These speakers aren't even screwed in" that's why my dad and I do all my car audio work.

[@hangingwitthabrowns]

bro y'all awesome

[@luisrosario1971]

wow guys great job

[@slapology1]

good clean work!

[@vulcanpilot-go7dj]

I appriciate these vids. KZbin has saved me ton$.

[@ezranator123]

Great install guys!

[@BeatWithBass44]

Everything is so clean. I bet it sounds damn good too

[@marioiacolucci]

oh yeah for sure I mean you get what you pay for

[@EnDust101]

This was awesome, do more videos like this.

[@Sergioalvarado_96]

this is some great work

[@Ray-uv4sk]

Awesome build!!!!

[@SonicElectronix]

They both used to work at soundman. We're lucky to have them!

[@TeamBassBlazer]

great work guys!

[@Dyljp5]

Great job

[@apllDgrapllD]

NVX And RE are the new new! Awesome subs! I can tell you why the amps are under the seats because there out of the way, they fit with adequate air flow and there are 2 mono block amps so they shouldn't heat up!!!! And 2500 is damn good considering the added up price of all the hardware & labor

[@pqmodean]

I rather enjoy your vids. It's stuff i already know but like to watch. Like a reality show but enjoyable.

[@rcfanihateusinmyrealname7564]

You guys are awesome! Just bought a 12" box from you guys and I have to say, great stuff! It makes my new Fosgate P3 sound amazing! I have an 08 Altima and love it! You guys did a great job! I want to install a double din head unit in my Altima, you guys have a video for that? Prolly do! Thanks for this video, it was very educational!

[@saquist]

we're doing the same thing now 2008 Coupe Altima and going Rockford Fosgate. How did yours come out?

[@SonicElectronix]

Any of them can be a starter battery as long as it fits. The D1200 was used in this video.

[@josecaban9154]

like your vids and the q&a segments would like to know which brand u guys prefer over another brand because of sound quality like which door speakers or amps or subs ect...

[@BLVRDbeats]

clean install

[@yoboiimowilliams9218]

BLVRD beats what

[@Supercharged1976]

You guys should open shops mid west and east coast...nice install.

[@Empiretrooper86]

i wish u guys would start making vids like this again u been lacking on good vids :(

[@saywhat2747]

You should watch my videos

[@roybutler7164]

i don't like the fact you put the amp under the seat but you guys do great work

[@josuebruno9758]

finalllyyy. somebody that knows hows to do a clean install. i take audio serious, from clean to spiffy. currently own 4 alpine type r's 0 gauge wire to four rf amps and two alternators in my chevy trailblazer. loud but nothing extreme. still CLEAN AMAZINg setup!! thumbsss and subbed

[@johnc3533]

Josue Bruno- are the alpines more bass or more sound quality??

[@vermili0138]

Johny Coronel Alpine is a great brand. Their equipment is high quality especially their head units.

[@damien9061]

Johny Coronel alpines are more for sound quality, but they can shake some shit up if you want them to lol. Some of the best sounding subs I’ve heard, the type Rs that is. But when it comes down to it, it’s all personal preference... like with me, I’m a Rockford Fosgate fanatic lol.

[@jessemachiato2751]

Yeah those amps can definitely breath stuffed under the seat like that. And kudos for applying the sticker on his car. Way to attract thieves. Good job.

[@calvinchoe100]

When installing the nvx cap, do you still have to fuse it at the battery and run the wire to the cap or do i have to run the wire to the cap and fuse the wire like you would do at the battery but at the cap?

[@frederickfloyd4611]

so I got a question if I'm thinking about installing two or more amps in my car and my radio only has one RCA output how would or what will I have to get for the split so I can hook two of them up

[@seandoer7934]

Incredible work guys.... I do some of my own installs.. basic stuff.. head units etc. And I was wondering if you had any advice on which of the mobile electronics schools.. if any.. are worth looking into? I would like to broaden my experience in the field, and and get my MECP.

[@pjunior3692]

@sonic electronic will it be necessary to go with a active crossover system if you use the same set up in this video? Not looking to wake up the city just HD sound,live performance etc.

[@jonathantenorio8829]

How did you guys get those dash tweeters out? The pillars are stuck with some adhesive on mine.

[@tigrescruzazul2]

i love the work you do on here you guys. the only thing i was wondering is how you guys installed the remote wire. and also for grounding where is it the best location. since i own a 92 pontiac firebird its kinda hard to find a good grounding point.

[@andrewdask]

More like this! you know there is a quality install when you see it ! keep it coming guys!

[@SonicElectronix]

The NVX amplifiers are far from cheap, they can match the Rockford amplifiers without any problem. Besides, the original install had only one rockford amp and it didn't output the 2400W RMS we were aiming for. We needed to conserve as much trunk space as possible and hide the setup, so we installed it how you see it in the video.

[@wrathhaven3505]

what do you do with the old stuff

[@SIOB314]

great job guys I'm still looking for this quality of install in Dallas Texas

[@pryocats6542]

you and I both haha

[@XxTrustNoOnexX]

good job

[@thatkid1235]

damn i wish i had the money for all this props to this dude

[@lubag107]

Me too 😥

[@gabrieljssanchez]

Mis respetos parceros...saludos desde ecuador

[@dassi6]

hello, i got a question the wood that you are using for the subwoorfer, what is it called ?

[@525brucebruce]

I have a question I have the same car but you see that there is a speaker component in the rear doors what size are those are they the same as the front doors?

[@briandtattoos]

how did you get through the firewall i cannot find a way through my firewall on my 08 nissan

[@temeriando22]

I have a quiestion on my system i have in my car all the wires are running on the left side in other words on the drivers side, like all the wires power ground rca and stuff is that the way to run the wires??

[@MegaBKLYN23]

That system sounded good and I mean really damn good, next time do a full Kicker Audio Installation lol

[@sixrings7243]

Nice video and install. What is the piece you used to pull power wire through firewall and to pull speaker wire through doors?

[@dman7177]

aiming to get 2 Kicker Comp 15's their RMS is 250 so what would be the perfect cheap amp to still be able to push their full power

[@andrewoliver9686]

How did you fit the door panel back on after the speaker spacers??

[@mr.dpfaquariums4560]

did you have to upgrade the alternator in this install?

[@AaronBilger]

i'm wondering if being tuned @ 30hz will bottom out the nvx vcw 15 at full rated 1000 watts?

[@elkomanderelkomander7374]

i have a kicker amp cx 1000-1 an i have a capacitor but the ground wire is hot when I have the stereo on is this a bad conection? ??

[@MegaAnand13]

That's sick :)

[@cease5131]

With the amps under the seats how did you mount the amps especially with the rear floor heating ducts running under the seats?

[@QUINONES64]

on the real this is an amazing video. I done at home installs with subs and amp and the wiring always had me slumped. I want my future work to be as clean as this but I'm scared I'll break off plastic clips or lose bolts and wouldn't know how to reinstall it.. I would pay you guys to teach me your ways for 2 days.. I live in Arizona but I would travel out there just to be taught your work.

[@2fast4all]

+Bryant QUinones Gotta take your chances. My previous car I've ripped stuff in and out many times (upgrading and fixing my own mistakes). I can remove my radio in less than 5 minutes blindfolded.

[@ljmike1204]

sweet sub

[@jordanalvarez7843]

how many watts yall recommend a 4 channel amp to have and what brand would be best for a clear bass speaker?

[@lakotafronterhouse4753]

I thank they are

[@rjdatdude23]

hey how are the nvx doors and tweeters? ive heard good things about them but would like to get an professional opinion first

[@laverell]

Good stuff

[@Aamirm1]

what frequency is the subwoofers tune at? not the box

[@corybean8499]

What size where those square speakers that are located in the top of the dash

[@kevintillack1396]

I'm installing music system in my 2011 Altima. I saw numerous KZbin vids on how to reset the airbag light. However I'm having this issue with the intelligent key. Basically it still locks/unlocks the car and I can still press the button on the door handle to open the car. However I cannot start the car. When I press the button, it says "no key" I have to insert the key into the slot and then push the button and then it starts. I have to do this every time I start the car. Do u know how to get it back to where I can start the car without having to insert the key every time

[@Anthonylimones21]

Why I’m getting a loud humming sound when I plug in my rca into the epicenter. Like everything is hooked up the right way. I got epicenter hooked up to my 2ch. But isn’t responding right

[@juliosandoval8244]

Does that model none bose system comes amplified or no factory amp.also how good are those nvx amps?

[@dollphinspirit]

Will do. Its due time for a car audio upgrade that's going to take me a year to complete budget wise. In my current setup I'm running a pair of performance technique 4 way 6x9 for my rears an unknown front pass. door speaker no driver side speaker with a pair of 12"crunch groundpounder subs on a 900w 2 channel amplifier lol. The upgrades will be a pair of performance technique 3 way 5 1/2 for the fronts a pair of 12"nvx subs with speaker box modifications ( reseal ) some sound deadning with a 2nd amp to be installed a 1000w 4 channel amplifier to all 4 speakers. It'll be a 2 amp system

[@vinnygonring72]

what are those connectors you used to connect the power cables to ? whats the name ?

[@fandechavalones3022]

Why do you cut the wire when you are running into each door and then use crimp conectors to connect it again ?

[@willlandreth6227]

What were the subs ohm loads.when finished

[@TheKidCoolest]

Where did you guys learn to do this quality of work? I need to learn this!

[@joshuaqueen8923]

What did you do with the old speakers and amps

[@davidspl]

Cool instal

[@aniguha9609]

nice job! keep it up.. one question guyz, Is it better to install rear speakers in the door or in the rear self/tray? and should i be installing component speakers in the rear or i'm better off with the components in front only? I need Good sound Quality!! thanks

[@leeshai96]

so when doing a 4 channel you dont have to use the factory wires?

[@Holidae127]

I'm just getting started with my new system. I have the VCW 104. How much better does the XQW 104 sound in comparison?

[@apllDgrapllD]

I'm going to use 16awg pro stinger should I use 12 Instead ?

[@MCgangsta11]

I have ine question... Why are the subs facing the front not the back?

[@gresjnik]

whats the tool that use to pull cable from engine compartment in to the car called ?

[@SonicElectronix]

The video timeline is not in sync with how we did the install. While we showed the battery early on in the video, it was one of the last things we did.

[@koolBOY8323]

so, why mount the amps under the seats? what about heat dissipation?

[@ctl46]

What tool was used to screw down those tweeters in the dash? Also, do you carry it. I need one of those things!
