Qxxx4's subs/amp install

[Qxxx4]

heres a quick youtube video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC9gIphmOLc

and the pics:(sorry their mixed)

ran the 12V+ wire along the brake lines

Clean...all doors no wires visible

My ground...under rear left passenger seat

the deck, no trim kit yet

looking in from the drivers side rear window...thats why i wanted the amp on top of the box...now you see menow you dont!

quick snap of the subs...as you can see, they clear the cargo cover!

I wanted to hide all this crap...so i left about 1.5ft between the seats and the box for stuff like battery booster, oil, DC powered compressor, etc. cant be seen unless you fold seat

i love this pic, this was when i was installing the wiring, got a spotlight in my garage, really used it alot on this install

I heatshrinked and tinned (soldered together) the wires. Got them going in parallel with the subwoofer terminal on the amp (1x1500...yeah right) Theres a pic where their screwed into the amp...looks like their going to snap out...their not its safe. wouldnt fit if i trim it all the way down.

more pics of the subs

wired 12+V to battery/60A fuse

Amaaaazing. I cant believe it, all on my own. Now, for the tweaking and head unit upgrade! woohoo!

Thanks for looking, and please guys feel free to give me criticizm or errors i made, or anything that comes to mind.

Nico rocks! watch the video too guys!

I ran my ground wire to the exact same place... do you get a lot of engine noise through your subs? I sure do!

[Qxxx4]

none that ive noticed? its super clean. did you sand everythign down? theres a good amount of paint on that surface...i sanded the metal, the bolt and even the connector down. and i tightened it really hard

nice install. Your Qx4 is so clean lol. Im getting two 12" Xplods in a ported box, 2000W, with a 1800W amp, wiring and installation for all $540. Is that a good deal?

No it's a horrible deal. Sorry to be blunt those subs suck ***.

WOW did you not read any of the "boon diggity bayamm" thread?? I wipe my *** with sony car audio

[Qxxx4]

i wanted xplods (i liked the new pentagon design) but after all the negative comments on sony from ALL my friends and nico (not one person reccomended them) now you cant pay me to put those in my q lol

[naladude911]

whats so bad about them? According to circuit city's feedback, they have recieved 5/5 stars in quality, sound, performance, etc

[Qxxx4]

who are you going to take advice from..a major electronics chain thats all about quarterly profits and probably makes more profit from sony than other much more credible brands who have been in the automotive sound biz since day 1....or the guys who spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on sound systems and have years of experience in this stuff......

if its the first one just get off this forum and go talk to 16 year old sales reps just looking to make commision!

you dont need to spend that much money man, i spent $140 for my amp and subs, used. Installed it myself..its not as bad as you think!

[naladude911]

Can you please recomend something for my sealed trunk, I am very willing to go cheaper, but I want something LOUD, thats a head turner.

[Qxxx4]

as fueler mentioned, go to the boom diggity bayyam thread, i was shopping for subs last month and everyone helped me alootttt

[Adnan]

i recommend anything alpine really

i had 3 type s 12s and sound quality out of those subs was amazing

if you want deep bass then rockford P3,Hx2,T1 T2kicker cvr

[ganesh21]

I like your self up. Very clean and easy to hide.

Did you change the interior speaker?

Are the speaker running off the deck?

[Qxxx4]

nope, that JVC head unit is not running anything. I wired the factory amplifier to it as well as my subwoofer ampifier...its as easy as splicing the cables together to the remote turn on of the head unit. My "interior" speakers are all stock bose. They sound great with the tweeters and all so why mess with success!

i also took a pic of my completed dash kit, itll do for now!

btw...the lighter...i smoke a cigar here n there, but NOT in the q. its just there when i need it. just wanted to make it known,

i wish i could give you guys a "smell picture" it smells amazing in my q....its a mix of Axe body spray and nu car smell in a can. And after i wash the interior...this amazing smelling cleaner i have. its portuguese and its called fabuloso....just douse it on a cloth and wipe the whole interior including carpets and the q smells AMAZING. try it with any good smelling household cleaner that isnt very toxic.
