[@cpufreak101]

i could honestly picture some guy making the worlds best setup, just to listen to classical music at 5% volume

[@wax333]

to be honest with you the worlds best set up isnt the loudest setup.

[@troyben6117]

It might see the doors are going to break so unfortunately, the midrange tweeters are removed from the dash

[@racketfire8928]

Justin Noker I do not know, but my bose is very triky

[@TheGroovyRoomLab]

+Justin Noker Me too

[@dank9288639]

Benjamin Chan fuck your bose sound system they sound like shit LMFAO

[@SonicElectronix]

If you watch the video, you can see exactly what we did for the entire vehicle. The front speakers are 6-1/2" Alpine SPR-60C Type R Component Speakers which use a 6x9" to 6-1/2" speaker adapter brackets. The tweeters are shown in the video being installed in the dash. The rear speakers are Alpine SPR-69 6x9" Type R Speakers located above the trunk.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

The ASWC is AWESOME. Thing works amazingly well. Autoprogram FTW!

[@BurningDownUrHouse]

Why did you guys replace the 3.5s in the dash with little mini tweets instead of 3.5 two-ways? Thats shoddy

[@SonicElectronix]

Depends on the wattage of the amplifier. 8G wire can handle up to 400 watts or so. 6g is even less.

[@wow1022]

audioque and sundown etc etc (a number of other companies) are for the pros man, people that know how to build boxes and properly run the high power that they need

[@ForTheLoveOfDriving]

i liked how you guys used tech n9ne to test the system

[@xyavailable6177]

hi guys..I was installing my audio system 95% same like this guy,just I connected ground wire directly from baterry to the amp...But I have a problem with tweeter and front speakers...it's noise(like shshshs...) I connected wire from ground wire to RCA cables but no help... amp=900w rms all speakers(4 door speaker+2 tweeter) + subwoofer =900w rms power wire is so far from rca cables or any wires.... AMP gain is on NOMINAL(fabric setups)...(I don't try nothing about that)... help please..thanks

[@Dylan-xc8yz]

xy available you've probably already solved it but there is some power wire running near some speaker wire in your car causing the noise

[@SonicElectronix]

You will have to email us, Felix. support@sonicelectronixDOTcom, we will be able to get everything sorted out easier vs using the KZbin inbox system.

[@SonicElectronix]

Of course! We always set gain with oscope when we do the installs.

[@SonicElectronix]

We get our Alpine Products from an Authorized Distributor and offer the same exact warranty that they do. The only difference is that you would ship the product to us instead of Alpine if anything goes wrong. All of the products are genuine and are exactly the same quality as through an authorized dealer.

[@SonicElectronix]

For the best support, we mount the enclosure into the trunk directly using brackets. However, if you have a smaller enclosure, you can use Velcro straps to secure it to the carpet.

[@SonicElectronix]

Yes that is very okay! Many people do their setups the exact same way.

[@UpInYourFeelings]

Nice choice of tools,bout time somebody learned what company makes great power tools. Milwaukee tools all day long

[@SonicElectronix]

We are only located in Valencia, CA. As for installation price, it is different for every vehicle so you would need to give us a call and find out. Typically, $200 and up.

[@SonicElectronix]

The GPS antenna was hidden behind the dash, near the receiver, facing upward toward the sky. The antenna is commonly mounted on top of the chassis of the receiver if there is room.

[@SonicElectronix]

Yes we left it in the car, it is not worth it to remove and it does no harm. Also, if we need to bring it back to stock, it would be very simple.

[@2000nissansilvia]

That's what professional work looks like! You guys should do a long ass in depth how to, for a system very similar to this...

[@SonicElectronix]

We prefer Mono-block amps for subs as that is what they are solely designed for. You can absolutely use either.

[@SonicElectronix]

We prefer to use the Axxess ASWC interface to retain the steering wheel controls. Simple and easy to use. Rarely have a problem with it.

[@MrClickmaster1]

We need professionals like you guys where i live

[@SonicElectronix]

You are correct. BUT we offer the same 1-year warranty, and we have very competitive pricing on our Alpine products.

[@SonicElectronix]

Axxess ASWC is used to retain steering wheel controls. They are a pretty straight forward install.

[@SonicElectronix]

I don't quite remember which wire we used for that installation, but when it comes to door speakers, anything heavier than 14 gauge is pretty much overdoing it. Quality 16 gauge will suffice in most applications, unless you're running some really heavy power into your door speakers.

[@TheChosenOne2326]

One is for the speakers in the back and probably in the front doors. The aftermarket (or stock) deck can only produce so much power to those speakers, so with an amp, you can really get the most potential out of the speakers. The other amp is for the subwoofer because, you need one to power the sub.

[@chd176]

Because Doug feels like it's fine to show a minute worth of actual installs and 10+ of the guys bullshitting around lol. Here we actually see an install.

[@SonicElectronix]

Only the component sets have separate tweeters. The coaxial sets have them built into the midbass driver.

[@SonicElectronix]

The DVD player is built into the headunit and we don't have a video on that quite yet but stay tuned!

[@ElectronicsForFun]

l love that MoPar OEM speakers are made by kicker. that's just awesome!

[@SonicElectronix]

It depends, if you want to do new wiring that would be fine, but if the installer you are working with says that it will be fine then you should be set to go.

[@SonicElectronix]

You will need a module to retain the steering wheel controls. This module is called the Axxess ASWC.

[@SonicElectronix]

Custom boxes can get pricey, yes. As far as needing a head unit with a USB port, you should consider checking out the Pioneer DEH-2400UB. Pretty nice for the price.

[@SonicElectronix]

It would vary from car to car. You would want to contacts us to get a price quote from our installer Allyn.

[@SonicElectronix]

Our install bay location is in Santa Clarita, California, just outside of Los Angeles.

[@SonicElectronix]

They make a ratcheting 90 degree screwdriver attachment, you should be able to find one at your local hardware store.

[@superrupert15]

Smart idea to put the tweeters in place of the dash speakers.

[@SonicElectronix]

You would just need to purchase the ASWC (steering wheel control) interface to retain your stock controls.

[@SonicElectronix]

For low powered systems, a capacitor can be a great help, but only if the Alternator outputs enough amperage so that the cap does not end up being a burden on the system. If you do not have enough power, a capacitor will not help you.

[@francodante3205]

How much??? For all that?

[@SonicElectronix]

It's certainly possible, although you'd probably need to get a custom enclosure for the sub due to the size of the car.

[@SonicElectronix]

The Alpine Type R 6x9" speakers

[@hemi08911]

Finally a helpful dodge charger install video. Been searching for the longest. Thanks!

[@MazdaBass971]

The components are 75rms per speaker and the 6x9's are 120rms per speaker, that amp will push all of them nice and loud.

[@MrBisho23]

Why don't u guys solder?

[@SonicElectronix]

we have them available on our website.

[@CarPhonix]

frig thats the guy that used to work at sound man!

[@leeshai96]

How do you guys tuck the wires underneath the amp and it them look so clean?

[@nrc1911]

ALLEN! I admire this guys work. Been a fan si ce Amplified

[@SonicElectronix]

They usually have a better sound quality than a 6x9. Especially when paired with a sub. If you are running only the 6x9's, then stick with those.

[@kingstonmommaify]

I wish y'all was in Texas, I need my 2014 Dodge Charger done, I wouldn't trust just anybody to do that.

[@SonicElectronix]

We don't always use Tech N9ne for demos... but when we do, it's because they make some killer beats.

[@justinstelle69]

Allen is who I would working on ny car.

[@joeduvall7207]

I thought it was sacrilege to run power wires next to speaker wires. You guys appeared to actually taped them together behind the deck and also ran them together down the side.

[@daylaun]

i think its thesignal( rca) jacks don't run next to the power wires or else you will have a humming noise in your system

[@melody3741]

Joe Duvall yes it will make a difference but the signal wires are far more important to protect than the speaker wires.

[@sevas1224]

Wow man i wish i was in California to take my charger over there nice clean job! Thumbs up!!

[@auxmike]

I always stick with the factory speaker wires. They sound fine and save hours of labor time!

[@fennygolf]

ALLEN!!! get the hell back to sound man hahaha good to see u brother

[@moparman2010]

you guys sounld make a show out of your installs !!!!! u will get alot of biz from that and fans

[@joerobertson7047]

In the dodges LX cars (magnums, chargers and 300's) you have to bypass the wiring anyways. It's a canbus system, unless you want to pay the extra 200 for the interface. Plus, a lot of the canbus amps have already dropped a channel. Did this with my magnum. Ran an aftermarket amp for all the speakers.

[@vyse128]

Having a dealer agreement is not a 'monopolizing' the market. It goes for car dealerships, ATVs or tools trucks (Snap-On, Cornwell ...etc). You sign your agreement and the company says that no one else is allowed to come into your geographical area and sell the same product. The 'Authorized Distributors' that sell to places like Sonic have to abide a similar set of rules. They can't sell to a non authorized dealer, especially a shop in a protected territory. It's not illegal, just wrong

[@2vgod460]

Wow you guys used the back battery lol you know on these cars the power should be run from the front engine positive jump starting post

[@sonnyinaz]

I have on 09 charger. Trying to figure out how to run the rca's from the back of the radio to amps in the trunk?

[@alirezamg6324]

‏Hi Alpine, I found a big problem when installing the UTX-A09 headunit. The device does not go into 3 Way Network mode. Please help me. Thank you

[@SonicElectronix]

California and Kentucky.

[@mrsantosjon]

its always gonna look like a mess dude, when your doing a build, then at the end its clean and worth it,

[@ktmwill300]

very neat idea for the tweeter bracket.. on my 4runner i mounted my type s alpine tweeters by using a thin plastic trashcan. i took the factory tweeter/mount combo and traced it on a side on the trash can, and dremeled it out and cut hole to tweeter and bolts. just my 2 cents for tweeter mount ideas!

[@caesarsteels]

What tools was used in screwing down the rear speakers at 2:28 ... Thats a tight spot and i cant get to it with regular screw drivers

[@kelmed4954]

I'm having a bad problem with my rear view mirror and side mirrors shaking so bad O can't see through them.

[@thekingdonecome]

good video! Definitely learned a couple tricks for installing things different ways.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Do the factory speakers sound "warmer"? (aka more mid tones?)

[@SonicElectronix]

One for the speakers and one for the subwoofers.

[@Kyntheria]

I think it's set to around 75%. I just don't understand why the system plays at full volume when the car is off. My battery reads as fully charged as well. With the car on, no matter what other electrical devices that I have on or off, it will cut off around 20/35. I normally play my stereo around 27/35 when it worked properly before. There hasn't been any equipment changes except for a new battery 7 months ago. This just started happening around a month and a half ago.

[@angeltrejo9547]

What size speakers are these, im about to get a 07 and im trying to figure out what size door speakers i need

[@lordleatch]

6x9

[@Gershy13]

I would love to work at a car audio install place! Imagine how fun that would be!!!

[@spacecowboy1924]

Gershon Dharmanandan remote starts are tedious and time consuming. and if you accidentally touch a data wire to metal youre probably paying for a new pcm or ECM lol. takes a little skill

[@Gershy13]

Space Cowboy wot

[@BurningDownUrHouse]

You ALWAYS recommend using new aftermarket wires for the door speakers? Not always dude. If you arent amping the door speakers there is no point in replacing the wire unless is defective. However if you are going to put an amp on the door speakers then always run new wire to match the new higher level wattage.

[@reysanchez1908]

What would I do with the factory speaker harness ? Just leave it there ??

[@johnalenwork53]

You went to Sonic from sound man crazy

[@TheCassidyjoelpope]

Super clean install but I had a question. How can you wire the aftermarket head unit to work with the steering wheel controls?

[@MrShadn1414]

I use the same drill it's bad ass for doing installs.

[@frankromero9916]

I just wanted to know how much amperage the set up was pulling. Seems like it would be up there a lil bit and I noticed no extra power was required....or was it lol.

[@mikewatches14]

You guys should make more install vids of systems!!

[@DamienNicholas]

what kind of a ratchet screw driver is that being used on the front dash speakers? and the swivel on the reamer bit?

[@lildzhank]

Ohh, noes - it's tweeter and focusing away from the window... Tell me more about this high quality install!

[@Fostercfxlax]

How did you wire the remote turn on lead wires to the amps from the head unit, considering there are multiple amps in the system?

[@BRENDAJASON1]

I seen on you all website that you have the 12 inch kicker compR dvc model 40cwr123 with 2 to 4 ohm select switch it was on your website but can’t find a price I need one

[@TobiusWolf]

Would you recommend putting higher gauge wire for the component speakers if they are not amplified, the installer at the shop i got my system from said that the wire in my particular car should be fine?

[@TheCassidyjoelpope]

1. that's what the customer wanted. 2. if the customer wanted that too, he would have had that installed as well.

[@chiefdarklord69]

good choice. allyn is a beast installer

[@chgotbanned]

Hell yeah, tech n9ne bumping, love that song, great install also

[@SonicElectronix]

It would be a good idea to invest in a bigger battery.

[@32svic]

Can you control the stock rear entertainment system with the new head unit? Does anything need to be wired to the rear DVD player?

[@triviumsolo2]

hellyeah I like that lil clip of testing the subs with some Tech N9ne.

[@ClumsyCars]

CarPhonix, on an install like this were the battery is in the back, is it a good idea to upgrade the charging wire or is it sufficient gauge wire?

[@djames2609]

is the components active and what is the benefit to hook them up active.

[@Blakestah386]

great install man, nice car, nice features

[@hemi08911]

I kg ave an 08 charger & I can't find how I'm supposed take up the dash to replace the speakers with tweeters like y'all did in video can you give some tips please...

[@marioiacolucci]

Great job love the charger

[@Dariand02]

Why to change such great speakers. Do you know how will sound those tweeter in empty space?

[@savinitout14]

Kicker baby!

[@snickel6824]

why do you put 6'' speakers where you can fit 6''X9"", is there a difrent sound quality? i see alot of people doing this and i wont to put mids and highs in my car but am unshore of whats best.

[@queend1146]

How much does all this cost? Like for the installation process. Because I have a 2007 Dodge Charger SRT8 as well but I'm in California. I wanted to see what an estimate for all this usually. Thanks

[@dank9288639]

Danielle Cordero probably 250$+ for a basic install 4 speakers two doors and the back on a 4 channel amp most shops wanted 200-225$ this was a 5 channel amp it seems like and tweeters and subs and a steering wheel interface so prob 250+ easily

[@KillaZamii]

@@dank9288639 I think she meant labor as well. And no way this system is worth 250$. This was 800+ in equipment alone.

[@AngelGonzalez-hj1dl]

i see that you added new speaker wire but what did u do with the factory wiring? did u just leave it in the car?
