Most new vehicles rely on the factory radio and will not work very well for a nice system.
@portugal82 I don’t usually recommend the internet but it will probably be your best
choice with several options. as far as adding a sub to your system you will need an
amplifier, also I would buy a stereo with sub level control so that you can control the
volume of your subs independent of your other speakers, but remember if you are
going to add an amp you will need a bigger inverter probably around 150 AMPS
@rottie11000 Can i get this inverter anywhere? and how would i supply power to subs if i decide to use some? thanks in advance.
@portugal82 Sure I would be happy to help. the best way would be to buy an AC to
DC inverter 50 amps should be more than adequate I probably would not go below
25 amps then you would need a car stereo & I would recommend 6×9’s in boxes
or even more elaborate with amps & subs if you want if so just ask however if you
decide you want the more elaborate system you will want a bigger AC to DC inverter sorry it took me so long to respond
I have a question hopefully you can give me some help. . I want to install a deck to be used in my garage like the have in displays at a stereo shop. What do i need to make that happen. thanks in advance.
hey I am sorry this video doesn’t tell you what you want it is
just basic information for somebody who doesn’t know how to
build a basic system if you want more technical info just ask
& maybe you will find out I know more than you think
the right way to do it would be to use a digital volt meter &
find which wire in the radio harness has 12 v power even
when the key is off if you can’t find one then it is best to locate
one in the factory fuse box or as a last resort probe wiring under dash for a wire that has power when key is off
u r 20 in this buisnes. . but u r steel not electronic and know not much about car audio;). . .
u know just this what u read on the products labels that why u r idiot man;)
when i wired up my head unit the truck didnt have any wire to connect the wire that holds the head units memory. what can i wire that into to keep my head unit holding memory
This video gets a low mark from me too. It has good information-but when searching for wiring harness adapter installs-this video comes up with all sorts of talking points about amplifiers.
Kinda not was “advertised” in the video name.
this video would be so much more helpful if someone would be ina car doing hands on work 1 star=[
you know which spkr is bad also make sure none of the wiring
or connections are touching metal this could also make spkrs
stop playing.
There are a few things that could have caused your problem.
you could have a speaker that has gone bad the best way is
to use a digital meter put in the impedance position which resembles a horse shoe & test all of the outputs from deck
they should all be at aprox 4 ohms if one or more isn’t then
unhook them from the deck or amp if the other speakers play now then you have found your prob or another way is to hook up a spkr that you know is good to each output on deck or amp if spkr plays thn
Hi, My car speakers suddenly stopped working while I was driving . . . . The stereo still gets power but the speakers do not output any sound. Might it be a lose connection?I checked the fuse element and it seems intact (Although I could not remove the fuse from its location – they are probably jammed)
thx for the help i was wondering how to run two amps because i just got a amp and subs and now i cant hear the other speakers thanks agin
If the load on the remote wire is going to be larger than 500mA, you’ll want to use a relay.
uum aah sorry
great information
make your own video fuckstick
man this guy knows his stuff
u can bridge it. . . . . . . or wrap around remote wire 4rm yur car fuses
what if ur cars wiring is cut with out the harness
How are you able to run a single remote wire from the head unit to multiple accessories such as additional amplifiers, power caps, Audiocontrol Crossovers, and etc. ?
cool
