Just a basic subwoofer amp install in a Range Rover Installer Diaries 237

[@dogsnmotorcycles]

I really like how neatly you wire everything so logically and neat. Since watching your videos, I've gone back and reworked my install wiring. I've learned a lot from your videos, thanks for making them.

[@brettbrassard7959]

I heard a half dozen new tips in that video. I have seen almost every video in the last year, and my knowledge on proper install procedure has grown immensely which is why the videos are so important to me. I follow Steve Meade, Car audio fabrication, sound man, HVCA, & Pssounds in England on SQ builds. I am 48 years old and been in & out of car audio since i was a 18. A decade ago i got back into it and had to start from scratch, forget what i though i knew and start all over to install and understand music, sound waves, proper deadening, Basic everything that goes into a system. I mean gutting the car for deadening and wiring. I an currently working on a 2012 Malibu SQ build that i currently have about 10k into. I do all the work myself. If i don't know how to do something... I will learn it! Just how i am. Sorry for the rant but i have been frustrated with the lack of install videos. Brett From ALASKA.

[@tjwrongwaymead8374]

Answered my question. I was thinking for just a second about tapping into the rear main speakers for an LC2 low level converter.Not doing that. Knowing where the remote on is awesome. Right on !

[@jasonhicks9246]

Hey Fernando and Dean stopped in the shop today it was cool to see it in person and thanks for the lanyards! Keep up the good work fellas

[@Daylonk]

Just picked up a 13’ RRS this last weekend and immediately went to your channel to look for any installs related to range rovers because I wanted to add a sub.I was surprised to only find the one with the crazy Rockford build. And what do you know the next day you guys upload exactly what I was looking for! You guys are awesome, keep up the fantastic installs! And thank you for the great info!

[@DoNotResuscitateAgain]

Great video guys. Helped me with my plan for a new amp install. Also, for future reference, if you take the hood struts loose, you can lift the hood to nearly 90° and get better access to the engine bay.

[@br3wskee]

Dope.

[@Ricardomartinezgdl]

You guys are the best. I done a few systems . But i like how clean you make it look. Thats the hardest thing to do. Extra detail to your installs.

[@tjwrongwaymead8374]

Awesome. I have the exact same Rover. The finding of the pigtail for power and remote was the biggest question. I have the JL Audio JX1000-01. I really want to do this. Cheers , Bass Brethren !

[@jhow3d688]

I’m about to take this on in my 2012 L322, how bad was it to run the power wire from the battery at the front?

[@andrewsoria548]

These guys may have needlessly run power from the engine. Watching another video, they explained that there is already power running to the back where they mounted the amp. The big red wire is power and if you can tap into that line, you should be good to go.

[@shalamahthebrew5553]

Y'all do some flawless wire care👍🏿. I learn a lot from you guys. Thank you for sharing knowledge and tips, it's much appreciated.

[@andrewjmullin8185]

Really like the way you work. Two things that may help you in the future, 1. All Range Rover hood / bonnets can open up to a vertial positon, there is a clip on either side by the hinge. 2. Were you made your install in the rear right hand side by the fuses there is a very big heavy duty red cable which is a mains power cable directly from the battery, could you not utilise that in future installs. I'd be very grateful if you could reply to me, and let me know if this is away that you could use in the future.

[@LaurynasSabaliauskas]

You can use it, have no idea why they didnt use it :D

[@hooshfarperakis1282]

a nice upgrade would be a shallow ten in the stock location in a fiberglass enclosure! Beautiful install as always, your attention to detail is inspiring.

[@warrend114]

very nice use of the keyhole slot Dean!

[@sanjuanpr25]

Video worked for me all the way through

[@Fgghgrgrhgfnvkmd]

5:31 it’s bonnet Dean. Bonnet. Repeat BONNET.😂

[@andrewyeo2353]

Did you really just say oww or was it edited nice one Fernando for laughing😁

[@keithcalvert3944]

Video freaked out on me also. Stopped working right around the wiring section. 😢

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

BRILLIANT AMP MOUNT!! Man that brain is always on!! Nice job Dean!!

[@dawmartin2060]

love the keylock idea dean!

[@barrymonroy7138]

Dean Fernando!!! I wish you two gentlemen lived in California 🤨

[@TheKeithEds]

You guys know you can install a secondary battery in the hole near where you installed the Amp, right? and run a power feed to it off the fuse panel above.

[@barryclark4875]

Hey guys I have a customer that comes in my store that has a black Ford Mustang that y’all put a reall nice system in I think I remember seeing a video of y’all doing the install on it I think the guys name was Ray

[@ccvideotech]

Excellent explanations and demo on this one guys. Cheers!

[@photovideo215]

Great vid guys, could I just hook up a 10" or 12" sub to the original Amp? What about those 2 other wires to control the gain of the Amp if I decide to install new Amp? Thanks!

[@andrewsoria548]

Would you have been able to not run power all the way to the engine bay and just tap into the main fuse box next to where you’re I talking the amp? That fat red cable is power from the battery. That fuse box is called the “mid bay power control center” or something like that.

[@Mmartinez4774]

Keep them coming, great job.

[@JMKady76]

Figured out the hard way on the ferrule thing with those connectors the other day... after I'd crimped them of course.

[@willaddington2169]

Does Dean need a plastic safety helmet? Now available on D&F Tool Drawer. 😂😂

[@WireGuyGlobal]

Great Stuff as usual. Thanks for the video! I just worked on a Landrover Discovery 4 Today. Lets just say it was a lot of fun 😝

[@emmagardner829]

Great video ! Super helpful. Have you ever posted or made a video on upgrading that same model Range Rover l322/full-sizes door speakers ....I’ve got questions! Lol

[@chriswhite4596]

Great Video !!!! My Favorite Amp by far !!!!

[@cvt97464]

thanks guys.... i have a 2019 jaguar f pace with the same setup

[@timdmx512]

quick question regarding the input to the Amp. where the two yellow wires from the SUB (Green Plug) High Level or low-level inputs to the Amp? great work BTW

[@kennycowley2056]

Ever find out this answer

[@timdmx512]

@@kennycowley2056 yes they are line level

[@chaos4197]

Pay attention class, that is the reality of car audio right there.

[@br3wskee]

What year is the Range Rover? Thinking about doing my install myself.

[@sanjuanpr25]

Dean watch out for that hood!!!

[@HeavyHookSet14]

Hey D&F, if you guys have the time would you mind doing a short video on RCA'S . Not so much on types but going about better understand of application and installation.

[@BeginnerBikeLife]

What model year was this Range Rover

[@gizmodog12]

Great job!

[@DT-fv5lw]

Sorry Dean, I got a good laugh out of the bump! 🤣😂😆

[@mra.cortez3553]

Have you ever filmed a Jaguar install dealing with their ICT/P system?

[@joebloggs4191]

That amp doesn't seem to have an internal fuse? in which case does it not need an external fuse next to the amp? or is the fuse internal hidden away inside the amp housing?

[@joemamma6138]

This was so interesting to watch I can’t even imagine having to do that

[@brettbrassard7959]

Back to Installs.... Talk is fine but showing us is better imo. Brett from Alaska

[@Chauncey2tha]

Which color wires did you tap into for the speaker signal?

[@gerryr1893]

Did you find out which wires to tap into for speaker signal

[@yungm498]

Hi I recently tried to install an amp and sub in my car and it blew a fuse and I had to buy a new radio. I now have a pioneer x490bs radio and I'm scared to try again because I don't know if it'll ruin my new radio or if my stock radio just couldn't handle the amp, any recommendations? (I have the skar 1200w amp and alpine woofer, and when I did a lil research my car has a built-in amplifier of 50w x 4)

[@dracula4733]

I installed an amp but didn't work so I put everything back now my system making a whining noise while da engine running & didn't have it b4 installing a bad amp I checked ground but everything da same... Could a bad amp, cause da radio's rca output to go bad...?? Thanks & keep up da great vidz....greetings from: New Jersey

[@juliobello4561]

dracula45 genisis did you run the rca and power wire different side of the car?

[@dracula4733]

Very helpful video. Thankyou. What a can of worms that Job was though🥵

[@ellamurphy7054]

How did u take it apart ??

[@albujeyash2580]

where you at and how much you charge to put the subwoofer in there I got exact the same car let me know please I am disabled veteran and I suffer from PTSD and I need loud music

Video crashed at wiring sub leads

[@roblesld8597]

I have the same shoes , so cool

[@georgiemac3662]

Guys I need some help with my 2014 accord. I am going insane in da membrane trying to fix this. I have my factory amp hooked up to a dsr1, going to a t1500bd n t600.4 going to 2 t1 subs n 2 sets of t2 components, RF10 farad capacitor, a second battery and the big 3. Everything is 0 gauge and I'm still getting dimming lights. How can I stop my dimming lights?

[@jaydee2620]

I want to hear a Q class sub so bad !!

[@cityjenkins7500]

Yeah same here. Video crashed at sub wires

[@Gmtail]

Isn't 10 Gauge a bit overkill for the sub speaker wire? I may not know all the facts though.. Great install guys..👍👍

[@mikexc90]

agreed and only 8awg for power

[@sarahlittynailz]

great team !!! what about a land rover lr2

[@kennethblackburn8756]

Hey Dean, try some of the thin metal tubing used in modeling. You can roll a good sharp blade across it to cut it and you can get the length you need to get into those deep sockets.

[@albujeyash2580]

what are you located I want to hook up a system to my Range Rover

[@jasonward73]

No issues w vid. Worked great. Watching on KZbin app on iOS device.

I can not understand why you guys refuse to run power cables under the car ?

[@pablorjimenezjr]

Same video crashed at the sub wire install. Edit: was able to finish the video a half hour later.

[@warrend114]

One more reason to not buy a Range Rover...Another reason being I couldn't afford it lol

[@SWillibr]

Watching this install made me nervous! No thank you Range Rover!

[@alphaomega8373]

Poor Dean has a new bruise or cut everyday.

[@SDS-1]

That had all kinds nooks to put stuff

What’s going on with you guys are you guys slowing down on the videos because I’m only seeing only seeing one a day what’s going on

[@thecman26]

First! Wtf? That's a sub?

[@bgcbgc7830]

video not smooth, looks like a bunch of 3 to 5 sec clips stitched together but audio is smooth

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Yeah geez "all you got to do is tap 3 wires and run a power" c'mon what's taking so long ??

[@rockymtnredneck4888]

You have successfully convinced me to never buy a Rover.

[@allendean8264]

What it’s so easy should take a few minutes to install.

[@michael55116]

Lies....after all that you mean " on to my pillow" the joy of something so simple on paper needing nasa engineering.

[@alphaomega8373]

Would never ever buy a vehicle made like that ever!

[@UptownFights]

Now can you do another video without all the extra BS and just how to wire it nice and sweet in about 2 mins? When you started working on the green plug you thru me way off. Like where did that plug come from? Is that the one plugged in the amp? Is there wires from the amp going to the old sub? Did you wire new wires to the new sub or use the old ones. Like can you clean it up. This is like impossible to follow.
