Installing Subs In A 2004 Single Cab GMC

In This Video We Install Subwoofers In Christians 2004 GMC Single Cab. #sundownaudio #subwoofer #diy

Nice starter system. You chose good products all the way around. I warn you though....being a bass head is highly addicting. Alot of fun though. Starting out small and inexpensive is the way to go. In the next few years slowly upgrade a little at a time. Don't rush anything, take the time to read up and learn about the setup and how stuff works and what works best. Its a money pit but you get what you pay for. Next thing you know you will have a SUV with 4 Zv.6 15's on a salt8. Upgrading your electrical in your ride is important. Have fun my friend. Myself and other older bass heads can help you with questions. You can never go wrong with Sundown or DC Audio.

Just put 2 15 phoenix gold ti elites those things are scary

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

Damn. The E10's fit into the slim box.

[@jeremywashington7699]

Nice vid, love the teamwork.

[@R.I.P]

Good job nice little setup 💯

[@yeahright528]

I really like the way that head unit looks. I've got two e12's in my car and for the price they are really decent and can take a beating. The e series are a bit underrated and tend to be overlooked but they are great for a daily driver. These single cab setups usually beat the f down when done right. Anyways, appreciate the video bro and Keep on bumpin.

[@bigdaddychud]

Defiantly get the right tool for those large cables, banana plugs for the subs and solder and shrink tube for the wire connections.

[@RyanBassForLife]

Love the stereo and you got to ✔️out my build.

[@MrThe302crew]

Make sure you add a wire to the obd2 for clean sound from computer

[@kylehotovy5523]

good job , its noce to see young ones doinn things themselves unlike all the rich kids where i came from would make a "appt" with the shop .good job the purple wire is on fleak

[@DyllanBradshaw]

Appreciate Bro

[@richyoung4051]

and then proceed to max the bass level and bass boost on there headunits and blow there shit up lmao

[@jimbobdobbs1597]

Never had luck with barrel connectors, they always give. In the last few installs i went to solder joints and heat shrink and man does it look nice. I also opted for a roll of the expandable braid loom (black with red) what a difference

[@Smurfyeah68]

you must not be doing something right cuz they are always great for me

[@zacwilkerson2424]

You talking about butt connectors?

[@yomommajumprcables]

Nice team work my fellow bass heads

[@DyllanBradshaw]

Appreciate it

[@alltorque415]

how the box work for you because ive tried this same box in my obs f150 and it sucked, took it right out

[@RyanBassForLife]

Nice just subscribed

[@michaelbaldwin8869]

That's a fire Hazard

[@ricramosh]

Where did you buy the subwoofer box?

[@jrdavila4967]

Shorten your power and ground wires so they won’t be rolled up like that

[@doylesmith8678]

Get a tannau and just do a blow thru.. you know eventually you'll want to. Not that hard, a few tools and accordian boot. Single cabs just don't have room. I've got 3 amps behind my seats with another in the "port" of my box. (4th order "design" with 4 15"s).. I can no longer run a tannau..shell only. Oh, and eventually you'll be spending a lot to get to where you want..buy good tools and good wire. ( I run welding cable -all copper) Just fyi.

[@DyllanBradshaw]

We Definitely Been Talking About A Blow Thru. Appreciate All The Advice 👍

[@masonmreen]

If it’s your first install I’ll let some of it pass but a lot of room for improvement

[@stevemaniaci4750]

Oh out there in Texas huh? How you guys like that nemesis audio bran there out there as well.

[@DyllanBradshaw]

I heard Of Nemesis just never really seen them in action.

[@Rpjr650]

How much some like this run??? Need some for a 2015

[@AustinFarriester-fo4yx]

What gage wire yall use

[@user-oz1ie9gt3f]

Do you have the box built or you order it

[@Twinkey187]

Where did you get your sub box?

[@juliosandoval8244]

Good video guys no disrespect but you need a 12 volt drill with extentions 7mm socket to take the radio makes it eazier,also you need channel lock crimpers or even harbor freight ones work great.those strippers you guys used don't crimp and takes double the work.also ground should be drilled into metal cleaned up with sand paper and ground wire is to long shouldent be that long.but good video

[@DyllanBradshaw]

Appreciate The Tips

[@samuelrodriguez3826]

Not bad for your basic set up kid hard to tell how the bass rocks with the phone picking up distortion. As long as your boy set it to 100 hz you should be good

[@quevicular]

Do you guys know what a step drill is?

[@FrankStPeter]

You'll get the alternator wine in your system doing that,, Make sure you ground your deck in the RCAs as well

[@briachouston5941]

how do you fix that

[@Itsme-mx5tl]

Link to parts you installed?

[@stebancastillo1524]

ay yo what type of box is that

[@Saraueudhwhhw]

22:22 how to rip a sub 101 like that without even putting yr hand so it doesn't slip

[@jamiebelcher703]

This is an amazing example of what not to do. First of all never run your power wire next to your Rca's that will cause road noise aka "high pitch wine" as you accelerate to start with. Also always use your remote wire off of the radio when doing a smaller single amp install.

[@DyllanBradshaw]

Clearly In The Video I Stated That His Remote Wire Out The Head Unit Is Gone. So We Improvised. We Even Stated About The bundle Of Wires And That They Can Cause A Noise. Maybe Try Commenting About Something We Didnt Address Buddy 🤣

[@JuanMolina-gc5tj]

⁠@@DyllanBradshaw that ghetto ass ground

[@mrcornut]

While running RCA's next to power "can" introduce noise, doesn't mean it will. The only downside to running the remote wire how they did is the amps will be on with the ignition and not the head unit but how often will he be driving without the radio on? I think they did a fine job for a DIY install, and they had the understanding of how to bypass the broken pin on the head unit to accomplish their goal. For a prefab & budget gear build you guys did great. Keeping the power and ground as short as possible is ideal but you used good wire with minimal resistance so you should be good. Personally, I would've installed the ground somewhere else, sanding somewhere on the frame or body and having a nice clean/flat surface for the ring terminal to touch up against. The way it is, your current capacity is limited by the conductivity of the nuts and stud you used to secure it. That said, your amp isn't high current draw so it's unlikely you'll see much/if any improvement anyway.

[@chasgillispie2799]

Cut that ground! You don’t want a bunch of slack on your ground wire

[@10krms54]

Where u get the box at

[@DyllanBradshaw]

San Antonio Tx Xtreme Lighting And Audio

[@apexyeezy3729]

Can you link parts

[@urielsanchez1218]

hey bro do you recommend those subs

[@DyllanBradshaw]

Yes Sundown Audio Has Always Been Good In My Opinion

[@urielsanchez1218]

@@DyllanBradshaw do you got a link to the wiring kit

[@3k.landoo438]

Well since you doing that I’ll rather drill a little hole through the positive and negative and run the wire to the amp sept for using the thing forgot what it’s called that’s on the box

[@JonGotBass]

I ALWAYS pull my grounds before I work on anything electrical in my car.....esp the radio. I have a 1200 Kenwood tho so.....awe man it gets even cringier when I see my guy crimping 4g ofc wire with the 5$ Walmart crimps. Gotta hit them with hydros , always.

[@user-zm3yc8iw5z]

There’s a reason subs are labeled 2 & 4 ohms !!! If you want a 2ohm load get a 2ohm sub and be sure amps 1/2 ohm stable n if u run a 4 ohm sub down to a 2/1 ohm load ur gonna over power n end up blowing ur subs!!!

[@user-zm3yc8iw5z]

Also about the alternator whine, it comes from multiple places, but when u mentioned not bundling it up, that’s fine but it’s when u run power along rca cables u get interference because of different factors of signals as they’re powered up

[@trucavalier]

a hammer can be used to put another oomph on that crimp

[@DyllanBradshaw]

🤣🤣

[@khamp6958]

I usually hammer the tip of a Phillips head screwdriver to it. It leaves a nice + and holds really well

[@drecrawford3410]

Who makes the box?

[@DyllanBradshaw]

San Antonio Tx Xtreme Lighting And Audio Is The Place He Bought It.

[@quevicular]

Solder every connection

[@notgey7050]

Michael Cera?

[@bradpitt3965]

KZbinrs are looking for partners for this Pioneer model. I can't find him anywhere. I mean a plastic rim with 6 bolts. Ts-D10D4- 10 inch Thanks for any help

[@themandI5]

U can’t just tap into any wire 😂😂😂😂

[@migofrmdaa3182]

Need a better ground location and scrap all the paint off before placing the ground n run that power cable on the driver side or shorten the wire.....and for tuning never use any bass boost or subsonic boost💯 just play a 40hz test tone with a flat eq on the head unit and Lpf on the amp set to 80hz and 70-75% on the radios volume and start messing with the gain and you'll hear it when it starts to bottoming out the subs aka clipping them you'll think me later and leave bass boost off and loudness on the amp and radio real bass heads don't use that bs

[@joescott5558]

I’d put my single vxf12 on a Jp8 up against this.. no hate. them slim boxes just don’t do it

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

Id put my single XFL 15" on a D4S JP23 against the VXF 12

[@user-ez4fl9ec8h]

Bro your ground should not be that long is gonna get hot and can create a fire.

[@Dan-eh8bh]

Wired it wrong not 1ohm

[@christianrodriguez607]

Where did it go wrong

[@torrez8144]

it’s wired correctly i have my x8v3 wired the same and checked it on a multimeter and it’s at 1 ohm

[@HTownGzmn]

Not wrong. If he went from ++ / - - on each speaker which drops each speaker down to 2 ohms and then putting them together. The final impedance is down to 1 ohm.

[@TellyKennyButters]

Loose the extension on the drill or atleast cover the speaker surround with hand otherwise you'll learn quick how a drill can ruin a day quick.. a hand can heal a sub surround cant unless you repair it
