Installing subs

NOTE: This is the same procedure for pretty much every other car

Tools:

• Drill w/ 8th inch bit
• Philips screw drivers
• Wire strippers
• Wire cutters

Supplies:

• (For a truck w/ a regular cab) Shallow mount subs
• Sub box
• An amp
• Thick speaker wire (go to best buy or walmart)
• Amp power wire (get the thickest kind)
• A small roll of wire for the amp controll wire
• NOTE: you can get a kit at walmart that has all the wires you need so you don't have to buy them seperately

Running the wires:

• Disconnect your custom stereo deck and pull it out
• Connect the sound cables, Black-Red Gray-White, they just plug in
• Connect the amp controll wire with a butt connecter, (the blue wire hanging off the radio that didn't plug into anything)
• Now, what i would recomend is hiding the wires under the floor mat or carpet if you have it
• Run the wires behind the seat
• Now take the thick power cable, DON'T FORGET to put a fuse on it, (50-80 amps depending on how many watts your amp is)
• If your truck is as rusty as mine, you can run the wires through the rust holes. If not, you'll have to drill a hole in your fire wall on the battery side and run it through there, unless you find a hole there that would work
• Run the power cable into the cab, under the floor and behind the seat
• DON'T connect it to the battery yet

Plugging everything in:

• Get your roll of speaker wire and plug the subs into the amp (+ to + and - to -) also make sure you plug the right sides in
• Plug the sound cables into the amp if you havn't alrerady
• Plug the amp controll wire in
• Attach the ground cable by drilling a hole in the floor next to the amp and taking a self-tapping screw and wrapping the wire around the screw and tightening it up
• Plug the power cable into the amp
• Put your stereo back in place but make sure everything is plugged in
• NOW that everything else is hooked up, plug the power cable into the positive side of the battery

Things to keep in mind:

• Most amps have a power switch so you can controll the power to the subs, if you have a high wattage amp, make sure you have high wattage subs or you will fry the subs and possibly the amp.
• New subs need a break in time before you can blast them, so read the instuction book that comes with
• Make sure you secure your amp and subs to the truck in some way
• But most of all, when you get subs, you will gain alot of respect for dubstep. haha
