How to Install an Amp and Sub!!

[@Baszilton]

I love that you have used a super round sub in a super square car :P

[@matmichalke5734]

Couple things for future installs. You should run the rca cables away from the power wires to avoid possibility of interference noise, the remote bass knob is not a boost knob but rather it is a gain control which should be turned all the way up when setting your gain. On the bazooka that should be a dual voice coil and you should use an ohmmeter to wire it correct (series or parallel)

[@sisforslow2198]

I've got my amp mounted under the passenger seat, there is so much room under that thing. Also you'll be taking those panels back off for the back up cam haha. I also made a bracket for my fuse holder against the firewall. I enjoy doing this stuff. I used to work at circuit city back in the roadshop. Those were the days! But solid work, and merry Christmas to you and Kelly!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas to you too!

[@soundboydesign1373]

Here comes the Boom! Knu=new... clean install, ya learning...you'll want access to adjust side of amp... next install... two choices...sound throughput van or some peeps choose driver centric... then...adjust high, mid n low...you love the 8"...easy...mid n highs to personal preference...keep the lil flathead in van to adjust the amp...good job B...keep turning that wrench...one love

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I appreciate it! Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@soundboydesign1373]

No worries...if you get feedback in speakers...you may need a crossover...not xpensive...check it out...Merry Christmas bro!

[@hondarsr505]

happy toaster Tuesday bud, and Merry Christmas!!!!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Same to you!

[@IvMacCuts]

Nicely done! Planet Audio makes good amps. I used to do this as a part time job and I still remember how hard it was in the beginning but repetition is key.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I can see how doing it consistently will bring upon speed, but there is still lots of annoying parts of the install. Anything that has to do with "under the dash" sucks! Lol

[@chadmitchell9653]

My question is can you hook up a amp an a sub with amp when the radio only has 2rca

[@chadmitchell9653]

Can you please help me with that answer sir, is that what the RCA splitter is ? Thanks

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Google it. I'm not an audio expert. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that in the video. Thanks for watching.

[@matmichalke5734]

That brand of wiring is pronounced new concepts and they make really great products. The amp is fine for your basic-beginner-low cost amp, same goes for the bazooka tube but all in all a decent setup for the low end of car audio

[@rudelude7311]

Hey it’s recommended to run RCA’s and signal wire on the opposite side of the power wire if not the audio will distort

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

You are the THIRD person who suggested this. Where were you guys during the install?!!?! JK. So far so good, but I will keep an ear out for it.

[@kammoperformance]

With a good shielded twisted pair... shouldn't be a lot of cross talk.

[@zbelly2568]

if you use quality rca it won't. Also with just a sub amp you shouldn't get any of that engine whine or anything

Great video, Can you show a video in how to clear display lights on Scion xB when showing VSC, ABS and traction control. Their is no check engine light on.

Nice system!!! My wife wanted to know what's up with miata monday?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

The Miata will be back in full force in January! Stay tuned!

[@SunnyWeathers]

Another awesome video! Don't worry about distortion. I've had a bazooka tube in my xb for about a dozen years, all my wires are bundled together running down the passenger side behind the kick plates, never had any any feedback or distortion.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Good to know! So far I haven't had any issues either!

[@dewdog]

Had a shop on LA way back in the 90s. Fun times. You've done well. Brandon's Audio Center...future business name. Audio is subjective. Does it sound good to you and not distorting, then it's good. Thanks for the vid brutha.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for the supportive words! Yeah, not everyone hears the same thing!

[@edwincordero8]

Hi friend. What color should the bazooka led show when turned on?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Whatever the directions say. I don't remember.

[@JC-hx6md]

Sick man. There's nothing like riding around listening to good tunes with a crisp sound. I remember playing some Fear Factory after my setup was done and feeling musical peace. I was getting a bit of rattle from my glove box because my sub is under the passenger seat but just placed some cork pieces to reinforce it and it worked perfectly. Enjoy your gift bro, happy holidays to you and Mrs. XDD!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Happy Holidays to you yours JC! I listened to some Danzig the other day and heard things in the music that I had never heard before!

Hey there I've seen your videos and like your project on the life. I got a 3rd gen 89 and I'm working on the suspension rear. But I'm having problems with all this rusted bolts and trying to find parts. I would def need any advice you can help with

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Parts are impossible to find. Ebay and junkyards are your best bet. As far as rust goes, you might want to buy a torch or a angle grinder and cut them off. Good luck.

[@robbs8166]

Did you use both voice coils on the bazooka? Wiring both the negatives and both positives to each other; thats why you had four connections on the sub.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

? Can you explain that better? I wired up one side of the tube. Was that wrong?

[@robbs8166]

Best I can say is look up how to wire a dual voice coils and ohm impedance for your amp. Depending on what your amp can handle you can either wire the coils up in parallel or series

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Got it! Thank you. I guess I'll have to retune everything again. Thanks again. I was confused by the bazooka tube setup.

[@Dabo79]

I love that head unit where you got it?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Amazon. I did a video on it. Just search the channel. Thanks for watching.

[@blakelibby2140]

It's recommended that you run the signal wires on the opposite side of the vehicle versus the power wires. You may run into interference having them all together. I did my setup that way and never had a problem. Hope this helps! PS, I miss the Lude!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That's a good tip. I hadn't read that. Thanks for sharing!

[@chrisbellevue]

I read that too! I kinda sorta did the same on my setup. Power and ground immediately splits and separates after the firewall but I'm running both lines through the same hole on the firewall so maybe what I did was useless? My sound is still clean though. No weird interference /static noises at all.

[@magno408_1]

Have you thought about drilling some holes in the styrofoam cubby to keep the amp a bit cooler. That foam is going to keep that amp to warm bro. Just a thought. By the way I really appreciate your videos they got me through my covid-19 recovery. Take care and thank you for the great channel.

Hate the trunk space on these cars. Have a 12” sub on the back on mine. Took me roughly and hour to get this done. My bass control is on the exact same place as yours lol

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Great minds think alike! The trunk space could be better, that's why I went with the bass tube because it's small and easy to disconnect when i need to.

[@RT-Kimgsmen]

Good job bro I like it try hooking up two 12,two amps a passive equalizer I use to hook up car Stereos it’s not easy but I like your set up.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks! My set up is very basic. It would be fun to learn more about this stuff and get more creative.

hey man! do u have a high power alternator or are you just running a stock 80 amp alternator? been thinking about doing this but i dont know if i should upgrade my alt first. P.s Love the videos man keep em comin!

I am running the stock alternator. If you follow the channel, you know I have done the Big 3 and it made a big difference. I am still getting 14.3 volts every time at start up. Thanks for watching.

[@chrisbellevue]

Nice vid! 5hrs B!? I think maybe you were being pretty with this install: Takin your time to smell the roses as you went along😅. Your wiring is pretty clean though 👊🏾 What took me a couple days was tuning my sub and finding that maximum sweet spot. Using the cell phone with the bass tone like you did would've saved me time! I did mine by ear (which was a little annoying) testing many songs in my mp3 library which all have varying levels of bass and loudness.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I feel like every song needs a different set up on the equalizer. I'm always messing with it and the bass knob. I little adjustment goes a long way!!! I have my equalizer set up for Rock and Electric music and I switch between the two.

why there is no usb port in the cars where you could just connect 1 cable and have your amp and sub working :((((

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Cost. Thanks for watching.

[@louisangel5868]

If you get any weird noise coming from the radio is because you wired the remote wire in the RCA wires with the power wire,Hopefully it doesn’t do it to you if it does run it on the opposite side RCA wire and remote wire on the left driver side instead of the passenger side.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

You are the second person that has mentioned that. I'll keep an ear out. So far, so good!

[@louisangel5868]

Awesome 🤙

[@tecno8335]

I think that rule applies to old school rca's that were made with old tech. Nowadays amps, subs, decks, wires, are all waaaaaay better now. So you shouldn't have an issue today but I think it's just a car audio superstition that everyone just does cause it used to be very true lol.
