[@collindelarosa6687]

[@theboyjc5325]

Ok I know I’m hella late but what can I use for my remote punch wire for the bass knob ? I need a replacement for my knob the old one got cut off unfortunately

[@mino-d-ng3642]

Hey bro try to order it straight from rockford fosgate web site.

[@mino-d-ng3642]

I tried Amazon but it was the wrong one

[@justinwithbags9155]

What gauge wires ? 4 or 8? Online says 8 but my friend who had the R500X1D before me used 4gauge

[@mino-d-ng3642]

4 gauge wires work perfectly, that's what j us3d

@@mino-d-ng3642 8 gauge wire is SMALLER than 4 gauge!

And what about when you have a factory head unit? There's no way to turn on the amp using the radio without PAC line to RCA converters. :(

[@mino-d-ng3642]

I install my amp with the original head unit. You have to get the rca converters and tap it in the speakers wires in the back. I will do a video how to sometime later when I'm free

[@mino-d-ng3642]

You can youtube how to convert rca for original head unit

@@mino-d-ng3642 Yeah, but the Scosche adapters things are crap. Tons of people on Amazon say that they come DOA or they work for a week or month and then stop working. The Audio Control one is $100 bucks and requires you to connect it to positive and negative to make it work. I paid $138 for this amp. The JL equivalent is nearly 4x the cost. amzn.to/3jsF7LV

@@mino-d-ng3642 Looks like I am going to be using this to enable to remote turn on and have a clear sound from the high level outputs from the radio: amzn.to/39hcblc

[@mino-d-ng3642]

I got mine ffg or 20 bucks on amazon work perfectly

[@rmblwgn]

if you are reading this... PLEASE DO NOT USE NO NAME SHITTY ALUMINUM WIRE (copper clad aluminum or cca) ONLY USE OFC(oxygen free copper).... I recommend Knuconceptz 4 gauge OFC kit. One of the best, most well rounded kits around. period. excellent value. Their wire is also tinned for anti corrosion. DON"T USE ALUMINUM WIRE IT IS A FIRE HAZARD! if you plan on installing a bigger amp later(600-1500w) USE 4 GAUGE . If you don't plan on upgrading ever than 8 gauge ofc is fine.

Queremos escuchar ya conectado amigo 😀

When you say speaker you mean sub woofer?

[@mannyboy95]

On the amp it says speaker. I'm sure it goes without saying tho.

[@bigstixs3868]

No fuse correct?

[@mino-d-ng3642]

Yes fuse for the battery wire to the amp to add extra protection

[@kamaumoore2025]

My speakers stopped working but I looked at the amp and I have a red and black wire that’s not inserted to the amp, everything else seems hooked up I have wires in the speaker ports so idk where these go

[@mino-d-ng3642]

Bro the blk wires is for the negative and the red for positive, I'm guessing it's no on because that 2 wires gotta connected to the amp. Also check your fuse box
