Dean, watching you wire up the amps on the board is very soothing. Looks super slick as always!

[@Hammerback0]

Cause 99% of people use amps wired to 4-Ohms. I thought of u when he said that, then saw you in the comment section (3 years ago)😆

[@kevinocasio7297]

No problem, you guys are 2 of the best installers out there I enjoy the channel everything you guys do looks awesome and sounds great and always honest and try to give all the answers 👍 I'm from Puerto Rico, I move to Florida almost 3 years ago and here the installs are a little different, we use sometimes for big amps welding cable, and equalizers(4 bands, 5 bands, 7 bands and some people 9 bands) we use a lot of PRV audio, audiopipe, EV, Ds18, Celestion, B&C, Beyma, 18sound, Pioneer, 02, Massive, Boss, Faital pro mostly 8inch mid-range, 10", 12", 15" all mid-range, for subwoofers 15", 18" or 21", for amps Taramps, Banda, ds18, power acoustic, MMatts, pioneer, audio pipe, ma audio, hope you guys can check some of does videos on youtube( type "Voceteo Puerto Rico") too see if you will be interested in doing an install like that, That's a nice install 💪😎👍

[@williamcardona1450]

from all the installs this one i really like i have a cousin that will need an install like this one i already told him to DEFINITELY go to you guys. FIVE STAR all the way

[@st162man]

As always, great video and content! Keep doing what you do. The more I watch your videos, the more I want to make the drive across country to have my system upgraded.

[@d77543020]

Absolutely love these amplifiers I have one four channel and two 750s one on each Sundown subwoofer and they get down

[@jtpowuage]

Im planning on doing the same exact thing to my accord. imgur.com/a/ata7q0S

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Cool, never thought to use them like that. Good to know you can. Man, people must flip

[@decid3]

Very cool. I just bought the Power T1000 for my 2, P3 10s. I don't get the clip detect, but I also don't have to deal with the high level inputs. lol Those things suck!

[@MrTouChe00]

Thanks for the time you guys spend on the videos it gave me the confidence to this on my own as I live in a small town with limited professional options.

[@UpsideDownFork]

Would love to hear your perspective on infinite baffle in a car like this. Always a challenge to get the bass out of the trunk and into the cabin so IB seems a sensible option.

[@feariraq3677]

Hello guys. How we doing. Man I’m thinking about taking my car in for a whole system upgrade. Love you guys work. Thumbs 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@hydrocrab74]

Weird stuff happens, had something similar happen with rca cables. Why i always test any wires that i run prior to install now ... I've seen new regular copper power wire that had gaps of wire missing inside after running 50ft in a boat... Great videos keep em coming. ..

[@earlyblackmz]

Always use Dream Theater to check your settings! They are legit👍

[@douglasbunch3313]

Zigman truth

[@reid1boys]

Just got a c6 corvette. IM trusting you on these 2 amps... I just ordered both of them as room is obviously an issue for me. The first serious amps I remember back in HS was the Zapco Z150... it was tiny and had serious power, so I'm expecting big things from these two. That problem you found was ridiculous. That might have taken me a week as I would not be thinking wiring out of the box would be a problem. I also wouldnt have had a spare one lying around to plug right into that amp. Wish it just had straight RCA inputs. The guy that owns this vehicle must not be married. Taking out one perfectly good system to install an "Upgraded," system is the stuff of single guys.....lol

[@dagorodriguez5265]

What a lucky guy. Id def go for the p3s I have one in my car and it sounds great.

[@KevinRaubRocks]

killer vid. i just bought the 750 for 3 10s. not sure if i will p2 or p3

[@SkullFrog2]

Sell these as well as the marine version of them as well. We also have had one instance of the rca having a short new out of the box. Have always been impressed with them especially the marine versions. We do a lot of the marine 400.4 in Harley's during the summer months and they just do a fantastic job.

[@JohnnyType2]

world class wire tiding! love watching you guys build the amp platforms

[@CeoOfSlow]

I need to get ahold on my Rockford rep because I'm wanting to do both of this amps and t series shallow 12 in my fiat 500

[@dougleonard7432]

Can you guys add that portable battery operated soldering iron to the DandFtooldrawer that Fernando was using in the trunk? As alway, nice install, you guys do very good work.

[@dougleonard7432]

I think I answered my question. It looks like the Milwaukee M12

[@MrBigR928]

I see you guys are in Florida! Can you recommend a good shop in Atlanta that sells those Fosgate amps are do good installs like you guys? Appreciate the cool video 💯👍🏿

[@akidim13]

I know I shouldn’t judge but I would of never guessed that he has a 3k plus sound system , that’s why I love us bass heads , literally from every walk of life

[@bradt4229]

Why not just layer another thinner sheet of plastic onto the existing amp rack so you can cover old holes and place new ones where you want them?

[@dracula4733]

Can u show a thorough video on installing a Rockford tm1000x5ad amp setting da crossovers from start to finish thanks hope to see it asap & keep up da great vids. !!!!!

[@patsjoholm]

Owner of the Toyota is my kind of person. Nice favorite CD!

[@kingdavid2018]

Same Rockford amp. But I get static in my components. Not really a buzz like what you heard. I've done all of the troubleshooting and still can't figure it out. The static is relative to the gain and is present with at volume zero with gains set less than 25%

[@MrTouChe00]

Guys have a quick question, I have installed a the Rockford Mini T400X4AD I installed in a smart fortwo. I using the front two channels for the doors and tweets ( Custom cut holes in the door panel for the tweets) and bridging the back channels to a Pioneer sealed 10 in sub. I also installed the Kenwood DMX905s. My question is I used the crossovers on the Kenwood as they seemed to have more options and went passthrough for the amp. Did I choose right?

[@RobHTech]

Love the vids. ---When doing gain overlap, do you mean that the sub amp is set at a +5dB test tone and Mids/highs are set using -5dB test tone since highs typically need less power to be perceived at the same loudness, and subs need more power?

[@JasonWW2000]

There is no such thing as a +5 dB test tone. The loudest is 0. He set the mid-range amplifier using a -5 dB and set the subwoofer amp at -5 dB. It's usually recommended to set the sub amp at -10 since it's much harder to hear distortion through the sub. He used -5 because the user can turn up the sub level on the headunit.

[@kswis]

Def nice amps. Love the size but I have the t1500 and t1000.4 that put out more power but man for the size? Rockford for the win

[@eduardoisaacmendezromero92]

Hi guys. I have a doubt you traded 2 P1’s for 2 P3’s with a 750 whatt amplifier?

[@kipplitz]

Fantastic job as usual!

[@martinfreeman6227]

The small Rockford Fosgate amps are very good, especially for a stealthy setup. i have been running them for over six months now and its crisp clean output. I, however, find that they become quite hot when i push them for a decent amount of time. Is this normal or what could be the problem.

[@mikexc90]

the p3 are 600w each and like even more power, a pair could do with 1500wrms so better with the p2

[@denbig1]

that's awesome, still rocking the CD case

[@timdmx512]

old skool raver!! Cafe del mar and Robert miles cool. "no more gatecrasher!" hahah

[@scottie6-573]

My thoughts exactly, I recognized the piano from children instantly. He must be a Paul Oakenfold fan?

[@timdmx512]

Although great tunes, not ideal to be using for sound check.

[@jesseedgell8698]

I have a question I've got the rockford t400x4ad running 4 speakers and I was wondering if there is a any bass controllers with the clip lights in them that I can use on my 4 channel amplifier that's running 4 speakers please

[@tjancijr]

That amp rack is clean AF.

[@jsmithbuilder64]

I'm having the same issue with mine on my Harley. What did you replace it with? The same type connector or one of yours, I couldn't see it in your hand. Thanks.

[@lfernandez9194]

Love you 25m videos. 😊

[@JordanSince93]

Good stuff guys!

[@jzero225]

What did you do for fuses? Did you just put a main in equal to both amps? Do they have protection built in? Love your channel!

[@JasonWW2000]

It seems they forgot the fuses.

[@chloeleedow7250]

He loves Robert miles children I like this guy! All dream trance has long intros lmao 😂 👌

[@gerardogomez4125]

What amp fuse size did you guys use for the installation??? 100 amp fuse 120 amp fuse? And 4 gauge wire right???

[@duo315]

I got a Hertz mini amplifier (HMP 4D) last year and have noise; I wonder if it's the exact same issue

[@richardr5888]

Great install! Love the size of those amps! Any issues with longevity running as a loud daily driver at 1 ohm? (with plenty of air space)

[@sl265i]

i so wish those amps were the current price when i got my punch 600x4's , nice vid btw

[@alek385]

Downsizing from P3s to P2s for that amp was reasonable. One t750 would be ok for only a single P3.

[@anthonyreddy2834]

Can't seem to find the other videos on this car, link or can you tell me what Rockford speakers are used in the doors? And Thank you.

[@Harley-bq2sx]

Dean you ever done 2018 Kia Forte LX?

[@camnoel5427]

Y’all should use some PRV Audio speakers and amps also. They’re amazing.

[@kingdavid2018]

Hey guys, I have the same amp and I'm getting humming from my tweeters and my sub sounds muffled. Think it could be the Rockford pigtails? I wish it was easy for me to just swap them out and see

[@darrylpolite8722]

I'm very interested in this amplifier. I've been looking into getting 2 750 watt versions of it. I want to have 1 amp per sub. What are your thoughts with the 750.1 with a 3 ohm JL Audio Shallow sub rated at 600 watts RMS in a sealed enclosure?

[@1411rammstein]

youll be fine darryl

[@nicholaswagner3515]

Nice upgrade.

[@anthonydenowski4051]

Dean, nice to hear a little VH intro's. :)

[@2koolforyou88]

I have that same noise so I need to cut thr rca ends off but how far should I cut and what you recommend for new rca ends

[@ninochoco7770]

Great Videos keep up the great work.

[@lilytran7751]

you should leave some space between the amps to avoid the heat build up!!!! rule #1 heat is enemy of power!

[@adaboy4z]

I need that Rockford sub amp to replace my been good to me Razor 2500D. Just better quality sound I imagine.

[@816athlon64]

I would have went with a prime r1200.1 or punch 1000.1 instead of that 750.1 on those p3’s

[@pacmanlatino]

The only bad thing about you guys is that you’re so freaking far from where I live... I want to upgrade my 2020 corolla SE speakers...

[@mattwoodardtn]

I just cant figure out the difference in a p1000x5 or a t1000x5ad. Space isnt an issue and differe ce in price isnt enough to matter.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Personally I would go with the t400.4 and the t750.1. That is my go to Rockford 5 Channel

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

No we cut off the rca ends and replace them with new ends

[@2koolforyou88]

@@FiveStarCarStereoInc oh new rca ends

[@frankthetankricard]

For quicker testing, you could get some type of action movie or video game score and use a track that comes on in a fight scene. No intro, straight to business. My personal go to is "Blazko Kill the Nazis" from the Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus OST. And here's a bunch of random songs I like to use off a thumb drive in case anyone wants to try them: "Dragon Rider" by Two Steps From Hell, "Young Blood" by The Naked and Famous, "The Wild Rover" by Týr, "Being Alright" by Tsunami Bomb, "We Don't Celebrate Sundays" by Hardcore Superstar, "Breathe" by The Prodigy, "My Sweet Shadow" by In Flames, "Strangeulation Cypher" by Tech N9ne, "Radio Girl" by Volbeat. Btw. how do those P2s compare to the P1s you replaced, significant audible difference? I guess there should be since the amps were upgraded too.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Thanks for sharing, I will have to check them out. Yes they were way better

[@ADR69]

You could have also swapped the left and right rcas instead of running a temp one.
