First time audio install

[delliott]

What started as "I'll just add subs" has snowballed so welcome to my rabbit hole


2 JL Audio 10TW3-D8 subs
JL HD750/1 Mono Amp
JK JD400/4 Amp
Nav-TV ZEN-A2B
Focal PS165FXE 6.5-inch 2-Way Comp (@SoundsGoodStereo kit)
Focal PC165FE 6.5-inch 2-Way Coax (@SoundsGoodStereo kit)
Custom made door block off plates (@SoundsGoodStereo )
And all types of sound deadening


Ended up pulling out all the amp wiring because I didn't like it not looking OEM and not being protected.
off to a strong never ending rabbit hole


p.s. I haven't add a fuse yet cause I hated how flashy it was and ordered one from Sounds Good Stereo

P.P.S. don't be like me and try and save a few bucks, buy SGS full preloaded amp racks and tuned set up, put it on the CC and worry about it later, you don't save enough to cancel the stress.

Jeep Gladiator enclosure repurposed (is there a good ported encloser that's reasonable $)

 

[delliott]

was worth restarting to have this clean OEM look and knowing its protected.

 

[delliott]

all the stuff that needs to fit
should have got the @SoundsGoodStereo behind seat rack too, gonna need more then the floor rack

 

[delliott]

making my own rack

 

[delliott]

fits but the hard part will be laying out the racks

 

[delliott]

has anyone installed the PAC AmpPro ap4-fd31???? (once again new to this)

how do I wire it up? some clips some leads? I don't plan on running all the speakers like headliner, head rest, dash speakers.

what do I connect the leads too? Do i need to cut wires?

also what do I need to run a signal wire to, to awake the system?

 

[delliott]

PAC AmpPro question (sorry if dumb) like I said new to wiring

Very Nice! Money well invested in my opinion. That rabbit hole is deep! I always got it done then wanted more bass. Went bigger then wanted more bass....more more....now I have no seat and two monster 15's and alot of Headway Lithium....lol. Now I want to work more on the SQL side of the house and go with a 6 stage front and processor. Never Stops.

#1 you are crazy running without a fuze......one wrong thing and your truck burns down.

#2 PAC AmpPro AP4-FD31 not ideal......you need the Zen to do it right....many threads on this
