Wiring CAR AUDIO System w/ 2nd Trunk Battery & Installing BASS Amplifier | Testing HOTEL Subwoofer

  • Time to get this sucker playing! Let's buckle down on the electrical system for our aftermarket bass upgrades. We'll start by installing a fresh battery replacement, upgrading the extremely corroded stock terminals, running all new 0 gauge power wires, and grounding everything up back where the amp and 2nd battery install will be. We end by wiring a remote turn on switch for the amplifier and route a single pair of our RCA cables for the 12" Hotel series subwoofer from Droppin HZ car audio. And of course, we also test the subwoofer output with our wireless SPL meter from SSA! Thanks For Watching :)

    Great tip on using reverse on the drill!! Especially when you only need to take just a little bit off.
    I to have grabbed my drill, shoved it in the hole, rushing, and had the terminal ripped from my hands!!
    Not only do you NOT trim what you want.. but like you said, sometimes it'll rip that little thing right off of the lines!!
    And now your starting over.... take your time and do things right! 5 or 10 seconds of thinking and slowing down will save you hours of headache.

    Dude, i work at Advance Auto, trust me, don't get the silver battery, if you are into car audio, get the Platinum AGM. I have heard back from my car audio customers that it has improved their sound. It also doesn't vent, so the terminals wont corrode. I put AGMs in all my builds.

    I have done hundreds of stereo installs and have always ran my power wires underneath and pinned it up and customers were like what you doing, I'd just say you'll thank me later and made sure it was protected from bumps and such, there are various grommets and trunk drains that can be used so that's more than under dash and you don't have to pull but maybe one or two interior panels off and boom it's wired and ready, some people just can't understand why we do stereo installs like this exo and like you bro been In the game for a long time excellent videos buddy

    One helpful thing to know bass is a long wave form so if you the rider or driver in a car what to hear it well, put you bass speaker farther away from you when possible. Like in this case you don't need the rear seats down and playing it that loud. Point you bass speaker toward the back of the car and do as much as possible to stop the truck from rattling, especially the lid and the rear lights.
    Glad you were wise about the power wires.
    Yes, a fuse at the battery up front is great, but you partly ruined that safe plan by not fusing the battery in the trunk. Also a softer speaker, in a ban pass box and maybe 200 watts RMS amp would have worked out very well.

    Just finished a small system in my 97 mercury tracer. Got Hertz speakers in back Audison in front hooked up to a 650 watt rms pioneer amp and 2 10 inch Memphis brx 1044s in a ported box with 1000watt rms amp. What i like about these subs is the magnet is about 9-10 inchs so even though its a 10 inch sub it hits harder then a lot of 12s out there.

    You can also hook the power wire to the second battery straight to the alternator with a circuit breaker in between and run a second large ground from the engine battery to the body then ground your trunk battery straight to the body and the two batteries won't fight for voltage or confuse the alternater.

    • @agency316
      @agency316 4 роки тому

      I was going to say the same thing but I noticed that he got separate smaller (lengthwise) of the same ground and power wire he installed and ran the power wire (he installed under the car) into a fuse near the battery then connected it to the battery then another separate smaller power wire connected to the amp. Then for the ground wire, he took a smaller (lengthwise) wire then ran it to the ground on the battery, then another one ran from the battery to the amp. I hope that helps!! I paused the video at 11:27 and followed the wires remembering the colors of the orignal two he installed.

    Love your work and videos. I see it both ways with running power externally. My only issue with this particular install is you have zip tied the power wire to the fuel lines. Not a good thing if the insulation wears thru.

    I personally think the subwoofer should be pointed towards the back of the car, instead of pointed towards the windshield.. I mean I've done it like that for years.. the bass tends to be deeper and harder that way but I guess to each its own. Awesome!!!!

    • @EXOcontralto
      @EXOcontralto  6 років тому +4

    Not that I would ever pay anyone to replace a battery...... The corrosion would have come off all connections just from the sonic boom of me slapping that can out of her hand.
