I bought the 8” version of these for two of my vehicles and love them. The smaller size made it easy to put in the corner of the trunk in one car and under the storage shelf in another to keep luggage and storage space. I see a lot of folks on YT are just tapping into existing speakers and not using the remote but I have an aftermarket head unit so I ran the RCAs and remote wire. I’m no bass head so I can’t compare it to the trunk fillers/rattlers some folks love but personally I’m very satisfied and they definitely make a difference.

(Assuming an aftermarket head unit that can act as a crossover for 4 aftermarket 6.5" coaxials in the doors) I assume setting the x-cover no higher than 120 Hz? So, turn the x-over knob to the 11:30 o'clock position?

Great install. I was an installer 20 years ago, and I'm out of touch, but I can tell your job is clean and well done. A couple questions. 1. What size, and what kind of tape are you using to tie together and cover the flex loom? It almost looks like some sort of cloth tape from the video. 2. Did you fabricate a bracket for the fuse holder at the battery stand, and what is that made out of? 3. Did you solder something to the battery terminal, and what kind of torch is that? I'm about to put some stuff in, and all that looked new to me.

The tape is called Tesa and it is a cloth like tape. It is similar to the tape they use in the old German car. We make our fuse mounts out of 1/4 abs plastic, it is high temp and holds up great.

I got the p300-12 in my 2015 Veloster Turbo and I love it! But my only problem is that after I did the installation I'm getting an engine noise in my rockford fosgate subwoofer and this happens all the time with the radio on or off! Also happens from 1000rpm to 2000rpm I have a factory radio in my car so i connected in the high level directly to my factory subwoofer of my car. I'm using also a 4 gauged rockford fosgate kit and all my wires and also my wires are protected by a plastic black cover like the one you use in your videos the difference is that use it from the battery positive to the trunk of the car. We are not professionals audio tech like you guys and after the installation was done, now I'm getting this engine noise from my rockford fosgate subwoofer. i start troubleshooting the problem and the first thing I did was disconnecting the audio input from the amp and the engine noise was gone! But after I reconnect it back the engine noise was back! I also have the ground of my p300-12 to one of the hooks of the trunk of the car in my opinion looks pretty solid. What can I do? I need to fix this problem with out buying a cheep RCA sound reduction box to cover the problem. What's your suggestions for my problem?

Great video! I have a 2001 lincoln continental and I'm thinking about getting one of these for it, but I had a few questions first and it would be amazing if you could help me. So the deal is that my car has two factory amplifiers, one for the front and back door speakers, and one for two rear deck speakers. The rear deck speakers aren't working, and I suspect that the amp that powers them is broken. I was wondering if I can somehow install the P300-12 in place of the factory amp that powers the rear deck speakers. I'm not sure if this is possible since the wiring on the factory amp seems pretty thin, and since the factory amp's wiring is confusing and I can't tell what is going where, so I don't know how I would figure out what wires to connect to the P300-12, and where to connect them. I am also trying to decide if I want to go with this subwoofer, or this one: www.amazon.com/JBL-GT-BassPro12-12-Inch-Powered-Subwoofer/dp/B007GYU30K/ref=sr_1_8?s=car&ie=UTF8&qid=1481584625&sr=1-8&keywords=infinity+subwoofer If you could let me know which one would be better that would be great too. These are probably obvious questions, however, I am new to car audio and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

Kylandsk8 they are both nice small box systems, however in your car small box systems are not so good. Your car is kind of bass vacuum. You may want to go with 2 subs to feel like you did something. You did not mention it but replacing the factory radio might be a better place to start.

Five Star Car Stereo Thanks for the reply. Just wondering, why do you recommend getting a new stereo? I would rather not mess with that, but if I do decide to go that route what's a good cheap option that would fit my car? And you're probably right about the single sub, so I'll probably get a dual sub enclosure now. What would you recommend for the amp, subs and enclosure? I need it to all be under $250, which I know is a very low budget, but I'm not looking for something high end, just something that will add a good amount of bass and last a while. These are the two things I'm considering right now: www.amazon.com/TNE212D-1200W-Loaded-Subwoofers-Planet/dp/B01BGW8GOM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481728774&sr=8-2&keywords=Mtx+terminator www.amazon.com/Planet-Audio-Subwoofers-Vented-Enclosure/dp/B01H0M36J2/ref=sr_1_2?s=car&ie=UTF8&qid=1481728734&sr=1-2&keywords=Planet+audio+sub+and+amp Any more help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Kylandsk8 yes they are both doable options, I would lean more towards the second system with the ported box. The bass would be louder and the highs would be cleaner with a new radio. Check out the Pioneer fh-x731bt

Five Star Car Stereo Thanks for the tips earlier. I just had one more quick question and I would love to hear you're opinion. I got a subwoofer and amp, I am ready to install it and I decided to keep the stock stereo for now. So what I was wondering is if I could install the amp to the factory wiring where the old amp used to be. I tested the wiring and it's getting over 12 volts power and the remote turn on works, etc... So I would like to install it to the factory wiring to make it easier, but I don't know if there would be any downsides. Thanks.

Kylandsk8 more then likely the factory power wire is not big enough to support the aftermarket amp. You can check to see how big the fuse on the factory wire and compare that to your new amps requirements. The factory should have a fuse under the hood called amp or something sound related.

They also make the "T" model (P300-12T or P300-10T) that is in a shallower box that is made to go behind the seat of a truck, hence the "T" designation. Hope this helps.

@@lordclancharlie1325 All subs are different on how they hit.. Some, larger size one hit deep and low.. while smaller one like 8-10" hits sharp fast.. punchier but not as deep. That my experience when building and buying a $2500 car system.. tried about 3 different subs build and configuration until I settle down on Dual MTX 12" subs.

@@scottymsu6063 hey, I have a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander and i wanted to add a sub. My options are either the P300 10T or the P300 12T. I dont want to take up much space as its a family car and we need all the space we can get. The factory Speaker provide quite alot of bass but i was wondering about the main difference between the 10 and 12. I mainly listen to Rap and some sad music with some low end bass. I dont want something that will rattle windows and make the car rattle/squeak. Whats my best option. Thanks. Not sure if youll see this message.
