I'm an old man, I admit it. I've been playing around with car stereo's since the mid '80s. My first set up involving subwoofers involved 4 12" Rockford's in a box I built for the cargo area of my Eagle Talon. It was truely sweet. But as I got older, I did not need to feel my fillings rattle. I still like to feel a nice boom in my chest though. So, most recently, I went to cruchfield and placed a number of items in my shopping cart for a "budget" system. My JVC Head, 2 JVC 6.75" front doors, 2VC 6.5" rear doors, and the 1.5" tweeters, and the 500 watt boss amp, all together cost $450. So you can see I was trying to save money. But... I could'nt seem to put a bass system together for less than $500. Then I watched this video and thought, what the hell. If it sucks, I'll shoot it with my colt .45 a few times, hang it on the wall, and call it art. Guess what. In my GMC canyon, it sounds really good!! Thanks for the video. And folks. Don't be afraid of using something even when it's not expensive!

Also, please DO NOT connect power wire to the FUSE BOX terminal, please connect DIRECTLY to your battery positive terminal.. these "flea market" types of installations by unskilled installers are plaguing our industry, i spend 75% of my time at work fixing these types of installations.

There is always a way. I've drilled thru and rubber gromitted the hole. I also run all the wires together so it's less tearing of the car/truck apart,, saves time... good job tho it all came togather in the end.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION: First of all. Great effort. A+ for trying it yourself and do not want to discourage anyone from DIY BUT: 1. you should always remove the NEGATIVE from the battery terminal before running a wire. (if that + fell to the bodywork... SPARKS!!) 2. That wire is LIVE as he ran it thru the car and could have caused sparks / or even worse a fire. 3 Always run it from the terminal post and NOT the fuse box. 4. Run the wire thru you rubber grommets in the firewall. The door Jam will break the wire and yep, cause a fire. 5. they gave you straps for a reason. use them or you could get hurt from a flying box 6. set gains to prevent blown subs, plenty of vids online

A couple of tips to optimize the sound. If you want to get better sound out of the front speakers install " bass blockers" in the line. They are small capacitors that block lower frequencies at different levels. It allows them to be turned up more without distortion. If you hear a wine in the sub woofer that changes with the speed of the engine then separate the turn on line from the RCA inputs. They are sensitive to inductive pickup noise. I know its not that apparent in subs but that internal crossover is probably only 6 dbs per octive at best 12 which will have some high frequency bleed through.

I installed this box in my wife's Subaru 3 years ago. Still sounds good. It doesn't shake the car next to you at a light, but it does fill the car with bass that you can feel. I used a high power rca converter with power control to stock receiver. No, it doesn't compare to my 2000 watt system in my El Camino, but for the price, you can't go wrong.

I watched your inexpensive radio install and this video and liked them both. Here's a suggestion for your next inexpensive install. Walmart also carries inexpensive "super tweeters". Your car has door mounted speakers like my truck and the sound stage was low and unnatural. If you install a pair of super tweeters that and can be attached to your dash with double-sided tape, it makes a world of difference. The secret is to connect them as your front speakers and your door speakers as your rear speakers so you can use the radio fader to balance the sound between them and the door speakers. You will be amazed at how it brings the voices and highs up to dash level and makes the system sound so much more balanced at very little cost. That's why many car now have tweeters in the dash or top of the door in the ones with better factory systems. Anyway, just a thought.

I just pulled this same sub out of a truck I just bought. I thought it was pretty decent, but I still upgraded to something better. My only beef with this sub is that there isn't much room for a port, or vent, and it doesnt do low end bass all that well. But it's still worth saving your $70, and waiting till you have atleast $200 and you can get better sound.

if you buy a shit sub and a bad 300w amp yeah, but my low end 10" on whatever built in amp is in my Logitech home theater system (X-530) blows this thing out of the water. and my cousin's setup which has cost him total about $100-$120 is a 1200w 12" on an 800w amp and makes this little prebuilt one look like a tweeter. bottom line is for a little extra money you can do much better, but this is still a good choice for people who just want to throw a cheap one in their car and be done with it, without worrying about RMS wattage, peak wattage, gain, all that shit you have to start looking into when you get into an actual system. EDIT: it seems like the AMP in my Logitech home theater system is 70 watts, kind of surprising for how much bass it can push through my 10", now i wonder what it can do with a good AMP in a car :Thinking:

GhilleGhille to a certain extent yeah, it really depends on the use case. For something like wanting a massive amount of bass at the highest volume possible, you would really need to pay attention to wattage and shit so you don't blow your sub, and gain would be more of a "do I want/need this for my use case, and why?" Kind of thing, not necessarily a "oh it doesn't have gain 0/10 bad AMP"

This video is not for enthusiasts who have a $2,000 system, it's for a kid or broke person to upgrade from really crap factory audio (no offense, Honda, but those factory speakers were tinny as hell) to something a tier or two up to make their drive more enjoyable.

I think this guy did a GREAT job wiring. Running the wire behind the fender eliminated the need to drill or add holes in the fire wall, and it thoroughly separated the power wire from any other wire to avoid future confusion. I would feel better if it was right on the battery but to each his own. Separating the power wire from the audio wires is also very important, keeps the sound clean. Just dont waste your time with wal mart stuff, well maybe if you have to. I used to get 6x9s there to be honest

Well, the term "beater" basically to me means a car that's cheap enough that if I break something I won't cry over it. I do like that the car runs well and correctly though. I did get a project recently - a flood salvage PT Cruiser GT with 25,000 miles. Has the 2.4 Turbo motor, same as the SRT-4... so I can play with it, make silly power for a 4 banger sleeper... and if it blows the transmission I won't lose too much sleep. But I do of course make sure everything's in working order - so I guess that's different from being 19.

Alvin Brinson Ok, I gotcha. To me a beater has always just been basically a car I don’t care about, if someone hits the door, who cares, if the interior gets trashed from work clothes, no big deal, it’s just a means to get me where I need to go and back. I guess pretty much all of my cars fit under your description, if they break I don’t sweat it much, they are paid for so occasionally putting some money in maintenance is no big deal, it’s better than a car payment to me but I’m still quite particular about my car, I keep it clean and and I’d be pretty upset if it got a door ding or any body damage really.

My friend has this sub in his truck to just add bass to his bassless stereo in his f250 and for $70 its not bad. Its no audiophiles dream sub but it does add bass when there is none. On another note you DO NOT run the power wire to the fuse box..you attach it to the positive on the battery.

I wanted something to just add a bit to my 04 Grand Cherokee Infinity system. I put one of these in the spare tire well which it fits perfect in. I spliced a line out converter into the wiring under the rear seat at the factory Infinity amp and also tapped DC power from there. The factory system is not bad with 6 speakers but lacks in bass. Rockford Fosgate components in the front and 2 way 6 1/2's in the rear door along with this in the rear sounds pretty dam good.

i can't believe people do this! NEVER CONNECT THE POWER WIRE TO THE FUSE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why! yfi! the fuse box has fuses of different current levels that will be thrown off by power drain that could fry your computer if wired wrong! when i helped at a certain place, a certian person did the same thing wiring the sub to the fuse box, he shorted a few things, and one was the alternator. here's the problem, it was a 300m, chrysler. just remember one thing, because your sounds cause a energy drain, the power wire must connect to either the battery post (+) or the alternator positive terminal that runs to the battery. you'll learn that either place connects to the batterywith current flowing through and doesn't affect the voltages of the fuse box, which has things like ignition 1, ecu, abs, and many others you don't wanna mess with. SO DONT CONNECT TO THE FUCKING FUSE BOX👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿

I'm sure you were supposed to disconnect from the negative post first! To prevent the positive from touching anything on the chassis. Since the chassis would be negative/ground. If the positive were to touch any metal body of the car, you could blow fuses, cause battery to short, or have something weld to the chassis and possibly catch fire.

I went with taking out all 6 speakes and swapped them with new Polk Audio, and added a low profile 10" Pioneer Sub, ran it on stock deck, but with an Alpine 5 channel total 500 watts ..... it cost me approx. $1250Cdn. with install.. bought it all from U.S. electronics store, but had local future shop install it.
