[@madcook1936]

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!

[@brenttesterman1198]

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

[@CaseyFriday]

Didn't realize how much I would miss Fernando until he was absent from an entire video!

[@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

[@carleton8654]

....9 minutes in I realized you sped the up...I should drop by for a 12 minute install...you guy's are fast.!!!!!

[@g-funk484]

When you look up O.C.D. in the dictionary there is a picture of dean wiring up a 5 channel amp.

[@32toddv]

Curious, what does a amp install like this cost at 5 star?

[@eltiosalchipapas3046]

I'm still saying ....you guys are the Best.... clean and good looking install .... you give the true meaning of 5 Stars!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Ricardo Vázquez 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. That one has died so we upgraded to a heavy duty Muzata Heavy Duty Blind Rivet Nut Kit Set, Riveter Tool, Rivet Nut Gun, Thread Hand Riveter, Rivet Gun, Riveting Tools with 100PCS Metric Rivet Nuts Included M3 M4 M5 M6 M8 www.amazon.com/dp/B01M59GTH8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vZwazbT2QWPMD

[@brianpatterson7034]

fair price thanks for the link.

[@ld3rp]

You guys make it seem so easy when it comes to installing radios or amps... I'M going to tackle this job on my own car soon. Thanks for posting awesome videos.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

E Puebla it is all in the pre planning. We always map out what we are doing before we do it.

[@stereofielectronics9333]

what you guys should do is MAKE A VIDEO ON TUNING YOUR AMP OTHER THAN GAINS. ALSO HOW TO SET UP AND TUNE A PROCESSOR PROPERLY

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Direct Connectionz it is coming

[@ArnoldGaming]

Stereo Fi Electronics Well what you should do is leave if you are going to be mean. I enjoyed the video I don't know what is wrong with you.

[@brycelawmaster3746]

you guys do some of the cleanest wiring ive seen

[@mikemikesellscars7112]

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

[@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.

[@paulespino6462]

Dean and Fernando's attention to detail is 2nd ta none! Like button smashed!

[@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!

[@simracingelite4004]

see now!!!

[@LightWaIker]

Another pro install. I appreciate you guys explaining your thought process as you go too, excellent tips. You guys are great! I'd be interested on how to set the gains on the amp if you haven't covered that already.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

J Will we are working on something, stay tuned

[@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

[@MrSpanky473]

I swear the cleanest installs. Great job guys. Always enjoy your videos.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Sinister thank you very much

[@idsoftware7]

A video about speaker wire. gauge, tips and tricks also about the speed wire for speakers do you use it etc. thanks! keep up the good work!

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

they have vids on all of this.....search is your friend

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

You guys a just amazing clean clean installs Every thing is common sense The very best I've ever seen I've mention you guys to a lot of my friends and learn so much Doing installs the correct and best way thank you Cant wait for your next video

[@brandoncantrell3317]

I learn so much from watching you guys! Great work

[@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:)

[@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

[@38alloy]

Every install you guys do it is like a high end shop would do it , Tesa tape use , custom PVC brackets , rivets etc.........

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

TTacoma every car gets the same treatment big or small. Maybe I should paint the bay white, so I can look like a high end shop. 😁

[@barrymckinley5844]

Pretty sure these guys ARE a high end shop. Just because they aren't running a shop with 5 install bays doesn't mean that they aren't high end. It's the work that comes out of it that counts.

[@luvmybeemer]

Five Star Car Stereo you guys ARE A HIGH END SHOP PERIOD! You have and use high end testing equipment and your installs are all neat, methodical and well done regardless of equipment used. Excellent work, cleanliness, knowledge are something sorely missing in today’s world of car audio.

[@lalomicho4931]

Now this is what you call clean work and well done!

[@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?

[@gongshow20]

You guys have the cleanest builds! Love the quality!!

[@mattmatt4618]

Awesome! I love installing audio equipment! Unfortunately I'm in a different profession. I look forward to watching all your videos!

[@luvmybeemer]

Love your work ethic and installs!!! Boy I do miss having a GREAT car audio system!

[@mikebihg2872]

luvmybeemer what happenstance to your system

[@treydaypnw]

Awesome job once again by Dean and Fernando! 👌👍

[@JustEnufCustoms]

The amp plate under the seat cool as hell. Great install fellas and hoping to come down that way soon for my new truck build. Keep up the great videos 👍✌️

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

JustEnufCustoms thank you👍🏻

[@derincolon5085]

Clean work but wouldn’t the hvac system blow hot air on it when set to warm up feet ? Or is it blocked off to prevent that

[@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

[@rbnjr]

Great job, your a 3 hour drive to your shop and i was wondering what is the cost for that job as im changing amps under the seat of my fj cruiser, all the wires are their to hookup just need a 5 channel amp and the wire routed to the new sub woofer. cheers!

[@datdudenosense]

Almost everything looked good, I just can't help thinking that some air ducts were blocked under there...🤔

[@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

[@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.

[@mountain180]

This video is actually super helpful. I give you guys a thumbs up. Thanks for making the video 👌👍

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

DjBeatz _ thank you, I'm glad you liked it

[@belysilva-torres3449]

I watch the whole video ☝️ real clean setup 👍keep the good work Gs😁👍

[@rashouse]

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

[@warrenkeller9464]

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

[@jimmycchong200]

That jingle at 6mins in lol great Video so much info

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Jimmyc Chong thank you glad you liked it

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@oqhr]

5:38 where do these wires go? and why you connected them to one single adapter?

[@chevychased6391]

Really digging the music on this one 👍🏼👍🏼

[@luisamoa2500]

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

[@curtisskysmith2418]

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

[@Moto_Rid3r]

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...

[@nchia]

You should offer a complete package including detailing/cleaning up dirty cars! 😁

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

nchia right, it kind of sad how bad some car are.

[@nchia]

Five Star Car Stereo Should definitely look at it as a business opportunity! Sometimes the hard part of cleaning is getting to certain parts physically. You've already got most of the car pulled apart it would be easier for that part of the cleaning.

[@renedelafuente123]

They put you in a waiting room and you can't see what kind of quality or poor work they do. They cracked part of my dash, being careless, but I didn't realize it til I drove away from the shop. I"m talking about my local car stereo shop where I live. Now days I try to get an individual that knows what he's doing instead of those shops that also want to charge extreme amts. of money. I was in a construction accident yrs. ago and have back problems ever since. Thanks for the video.

[@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

[@MrFreddyelgato]

This guy's work so neat..

[@brianj4335]

Another great video guys. Thanks for keeping me entertained/informed. Love the music btw!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Brian Jewell glad you like the the video and the music. Wanted to try something new

[@mathewboyer5141]

I know this video is old but what about the HVAC vents under the seat blowing right on the amp? In winter time it'll be blowing hot air across the amp. No concern?

[@GekanS]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@BobW5150]

What were those wiring harnesses that you used? I'm researching adding an amp and sub to my 2020 Elantra.

[@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.

[@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??

[@gerrynewton3071]

Wasn’t what I was looking for, last Stereo I installed was 40 years ago, you didn’t show how to wire it all up. I’m doing a stereo installation on a custom 3 wheel trike and want to put a subwoofer in it and be able to listen to music while running 80 mph down the road. Got a kenwood reciver with 4 kicker 4” speakers and putting a 6.5” subwoofer and a 2000 watt 5 channel amp, that’s all I got figured out. how do I wire it all up. Got any videos to help me out? G

[@danabarnes4751]

One thing that nobody seems to talk about on car audio channels is what to do with spare RCA cable lengths, short of cutting them to length and resoldering. Advice? This is a great video by the way thank you. Very rugged, just like all your guy's work. One of the thing that I wanted to ask you about was your approach to sound dampening. I noticed you don't really prioritize sound dampening to your customers. Is there a reason for that? What are your thoughts?

[@TylerSavin]

Need some better information in the description of where we can find you and get our stuff installed. Super great video!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Tyler Savin thank you, we will have to fix that

[@mattfraas861]

Hey my friend where do you order that speaker harness? The white, purple, green, and grey you twist up with the drill? I’d love to be able to order that if possible.

[@psykalag]

Did you mount the plate directly to the vehicle with self tapping screws? That's The only part in not 100% on

[@jimperretta1739]

What was going on with the wire harness abd the RCA’s. Did you splice the RCA to an adapter for the head unit? I’m confused? -

[@leonsines247]

Why would you run the remote wire with the soeaker wire?..... wont that cause interference or a low buzz in rhe sloeakers?

[@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

[@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?

[@dailygrinders89]

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

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

DAILYGRIND thank you

[@robmeyer5440]

Great video, interesting choice for background music.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Rob Meyer thanks. I wanted something new and different

[@Philly191233]

Hi just great video just wondering what those butt connectors at 5:48 are called

[@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?

[@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?

[@RobHTech]

Always like the vids. polarity does not equal phase.

[@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).

[@baloo217]

Hi , i always watch you guys, i want some pricing on an install for my 2009 ram 1500 quaf cab, how can we get in touch?

[@MSH3423]

Wow what a clean installation.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

MSH3423 thank you very much

[@Masterked]

Nice install, did you guys ran the speaker wires back to the radio? And from the radio out to the speakers? I'm about to install something simple and that seems like a good idea to re use the old speaker cables instead of running new ones to all doors.

[@claytoncamilleri]

Hi guys great install!! I have a question. I building a ported box and don't know what tuning frequency should i tune my box?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Clayton Camilleri most people like 32-34 hz. Don't forget you can call the speaker manufacturer for help.

[@iamasmurf1122]

I put a amp under my seat in one of the cars I owned ! I actually would not recommend doing it , getting to the settings is far too hard and if something goes wrong with wires it is hard to get to for maintenance , I got a massive computer cooling fan as well and wired that into the power supply to keep the amp a bit cooler . And I bolted the SUB directly to the back of the seat and used the boot as a BOX whoever sat in the back seat got a massage from the vibration

[@daviddickson1112]

Do you think the full cowl speakers are worth the money

[@zmanbad]

you guys should do a video about install a cross over where the tweeter are in the dash and the speaker is in the door. would you run new wires into the door? and if your running new wires into the door whats the best way to do that if there are plugs in the door and not just wire going through the boot of the door.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

zmanbad yes good idea. The best way to do that is to mount the crossover in the car. Run the midrange wire to the factory front wire. Run a new tweeter wire up to the tweeter. Run the radio or amp into the crossover.

[@fumbles6247]

What are those attachments called that are on the end of the power wires? I'd like to order some for my install.

[@Dolliehomee]

Why do you use both the amp speaker wires and amp rca cables together?

[@alancaguilar89]

Great quality teamwork!

[@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?

[@RickRoood]

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

[@daveponce5266]

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

[@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.

[@jimbossemi-customs3129]

Such clean work, I love your videos!

[@rubrub9636]

How about hot and cold air from ventilation? Isn’t affecting to amp ??

[@mally94]

Hey guys...what are your take on passive radiator subwoofer setup....do a show with that in mind

[@JoeShmoe4388]

Wow, really clean work. Nice!

[@daviddickson1112]

Do you think that the FOC AL speakers are worth the money

[@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 ?

[@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

[@phillyboinkin9327]

so you used the factory wires for the door speakers?

[@213gixxer]

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