ice install

[srs1]

right, i have started my install today. so i am going to walk you through how i have done it. this way, you can all follow suit when trying to do this.

equipment for the job?

as you can see, there are 2 amps, distribution box for power.
silver cable is for the remote switch.
the flat cable is for the seakers from the amps.
green cable is for the earth to the cars shell.
2 sets of rca leads for the amps.
and the head unit with 3 pre-outs.

now the next 2 pictures are as far as i have got today.
power lead is down the right hand side of the car.
the rca cables down the left hand side.
and the remote cable from the hu, down the center.
(reason for this, is so the power doesn't interfere with the sound traveling to the amps)

at the front end of the car. there is a inline fuse switch. this needs to be as close to the battery. (this is for the purpose of saving your car in the event of a fire.)
now when the install goes further, there will be a second fuse box in the boot, this is to make sure each amp only recieves the correct ampage to it.

delay in the ice install is due to wanting the right single sub and funds.
plus i am thinking of doing a false floor and rear cage.

any way, heres a bosch 70 amp alternator bought today to go with my 65 amp heavy duty battery. so no diming lights for me.

[Riggy]

[Dpnova]

[srs1]

[Dpnova]

youve all lost me know :P I hate electrics. My sub is a right mess in the boot but i cant be arsed to sort it, when you hoping to have it done by

[joeontherun]

[scott.parker]

[flowlikewater]

looks good. ive just started mine yesterday and now its raining so cant do squat today. when its finished ill try to get some pics of it on the site.

hope your goes to plan! seems crisp! so whats the deal with the door cards, tell the unknowing many!

Looks good.before you start putting the stuff in, you might want to make a new floor. this will improve the sound quality as you can mount the sub and amp to the base allowing all those little rattles to be reduced.i have currently brought a 1.0 which i am currently designing a new sound system and LED lighting. Keep it basic and try not to lose your spare wheel. Ive spent the last two weeks repairing my interior and replacing all the bits and bobs. now im ready to start designing. I should post my little banger on the site this weekend if i have time.

Good luck

[Hobbit]

Why is this a sticky? 4 years and all he's done is run a few wires, even i can do better than that.
