Dude don't waste money on this im 17 and got 2 legit pioneer 12 inch subs and a 4000 watt amp for 100$ off OfferUp
Don’t waste your money on Walmart shit. Spend a few hundred bucks get a kenwood or pioneer setup. You’ll thank me later
😂😂😂😂😂
Nick Smith *cough*
The best position for that speaker Box would be face up in the bottom of the return cart at Walmart.

Awesome delivery!

I'm an old man, I admit it. I've been playing around with car stereo's since the mid '80s. My first set up involving subwoofers involved 4 12" Rockford's in a box I built for the cargo area of my Eagle Talon. It was truely sweet. But as I got older, I did not need to feel my fillings rattle. I still like to feel a nice boom in my chest though. So, most recently, I went to cruchfield and placed a number of items in my shopping cart for a "budget" system. My JVC Head, 2 JVC 6.75" front doors, 2VC 6.5" rear doors, and the 1.5" tweeters, and the 500 watt boss amp, all together cost $450. So you can see I was trying to save money. But... I could'nt seem to put a bass system together for less than $500. Then I watched this video and thought, what the hell. If it sucks, I'll shoot it with my colt .45 a few times, hang it on the wall, and call it art. Guess what. In my GMC canyon, it sounds really good!! Thanks for the video. And folks. Don't be afraid of using something even when it's not expensive!
yeah for some reason people got it in their heads that if its not thousands of dollars its shit. terrible thought process. i've got a 250 stereo system in my bedroom and i like it more than my friends 1000+ system in his car. all about ballance. its ok if every car within a 500ft radius of the intersection cant hear your shitty taste in music as you put your car in neutral and roll it back so people think its stick. and its ok if you can't flex how expensive it is to your middle class peers because thats all people see in a person anymore (not).

If you want something to numb your chest, a shallow kicker comp r 10 with applicable amplifier. It will run you around $300 and has plenty of bass especially for a truck/cab
The problem people have with these is they don't get very low at all, and they have a lot of distortion. They also have a box that's WAY too small for the subwoofer to play properly. It's just all around not good.
Wasted 10 minutes watching this video for 2 seconds of audio from that speaker.
It’s an install. If you wanna hear something go to a damn competition or just install one yourself.
@@daynefuxa4132 actually it's an install/review, according to the title of the video.
It’s called fast forward the bs
Right!!!!
@@daynefuxa4132 Are you really going to find $70 walmart subs at a competition though? lol
Up next, Walmart “carbon fiber” hood scoop. 😂😂
I got here by watching the first radio replacement... how cool would it be a series modding the entire car using nothing but walmart to source parts?
yeah
Please do so!!!
Ya
fuck walmart do vato zone
I’m loving this “just how good is the cheap stuff?” series.
I reckon. Next I think he should do budget performance mods. Although the Hindsight already has the least restrictive intake of any car I've seen measured, so I'll be pissed if he puts a pod on it
VIEWERS!!!! FOR YOUR SAFETY!! please DO NOT run your power wire through the fender as illustrated in this video.
this wire should be ran through a grommet through the firewall for safety reasons.
Also, please DO NOT connect power wire to the FUSE BOX terminal, please connect DIRECTLY to your battery positive terminal..
these "flea market" types of installations by unskilled installers are plaguing our industry, i spend 75% of my time at work fixing these types of installations.
Not to mention twisting wires together and instead of soldering them, using some old tape that was already stuck on there..
I’m glad someone here said it lmao
Wow thats a lot of writing
Its a system on a budget pendejos
Exactly completely agree with you my buddy builds boxes for a living in Florida and this was ridiculous to watch dude could have really hurt his car lol.
“ that’s when he heard boom, now his amp on fire” lmao
😂😂

What's a trip to Walmart without screaming kids?
Target!!!
Yeah white kids do that the most
A myth....

Nonexistent
Put a sticker on it, which says my other car is a lambo
"This is my other car"
" My other car is a piece of shit"

Next upgrade is to put speakers in those empty spaces where speakers can go behind the seats. Do it Rob Dahm do it!!!!!
Michael Bacon was about to comment that he definitely should try.
Yup. Do it Rob Dahm it. lol, sorry couldn't resist.
Agree!! do it Rob Dahm
No need, by adding speakers there you are bringing the soundstage back and ruining the sound quality with a bunch of unneeded interfering frequencies.
mouthies3 I object two 10 inch kentwood subwoofers with a small basket and only 150 watts split between the two would add just enough that it wouldn’t overcome his doors speakers and tweeters and it would sound nice and clean while still adding just a tiny bit off boom when the bass hits so you can feel the music and it would only cost like 100$ for that kind of set up remember not all subs are made to rattle your doors off lol
when i saw how he wired it up i was like "Ight imma head out"
I am a leading expert on electrical power and this has fire written all over it.
Skipped up to the part where he wired it to the fuse box..

@@austintrashboat he wired it directly to the fuse box, which is bad
check if walmart sells 4 rotor
Schmidt Motorsport it's just the Walmart brand tho
The Walmart "Great Value" brand 4 rotor. It must have been sold out when I was there.
its 4 rotor but its plastic
1:15 "you don't want your car catching on fire" *laugh* I figured first car 16 yrs old Rob doing a subwoofer install and setting the car on fire. That laugh is from someone that has experienced it
I have done some very dumb things in my life. You are completely correct.
Rob Dahm love you! Maybe do a merch sale (i love those t-shirts) for people that can't join patreon but still want to support❤
Michele true that. I'd wear a Dahm shirt
Actually knew a guy back a few years ago who burned his nearly new Scion TC to the ground due to a short in the sub he'd installed. Worse, despite having payments, he'd cancelled his full coverage insurance and only had liability. Dude was screwed so bad, he had ashes and a car payment for the next 5 years.
Alvin Brinson that's called stupid tax. We've all paid some amount of it. That's a pretty big tax bill.
Oh, I will admit the whole unscrewing the fender part was crazy. You can typically find something that goes through the firewall that is rubber grommet protected where you can get the wire to feed through.
“Crazy” is when you don’t go through the trouble to DO IT RIGHT.
The subwoofer added some 150 extra hp
the commenter the soundwaves give the car a boost giving it an extra 150 HP!!

Come on. Just say neon
3 minutes in and I'm hyperventing in a paper bag...
This isn't a review, This is a video showing you what not to do.
Why? Can you explain?
you're being dramatic, he did fine.
Best not to run the power cable through the door.... Not only does it look bad but it's at a higher chance of shorting out.
@@CSryoh m8 he didn't even solder or shrink tube his damn radio. he just has them crossed and electrical taped
@@mashedpotatoes5323 its not like there wasnt already over a dozen wires going through the same spot from factory, good enough for them and it lasted that long
Being a serious car audio enthusiast /installer , this was interesting. And funny..😅
Twist & tape?
Astro Builder, i can do that, replace all 6 speakers with a 4x4 grid of mid drivers in each door, some highs in the dash and a 6th order wall with 8 18's in it. you'll be bumpin.
Well, considering QGs suggestion was 42 speakers, and that's more than 1, you should be good to go!
Then I am sure you can answer how to stop my subs from drawing so much off my alternator. Running two 10s (pioneer) with a 1000watt amp. Amp is set to run the lowest cross over and everything so subs wont hit so hard. Still fried alternator, havent used subs in weeks as I am afraid of frying the new one.
you need a high output alt,or a secondary battery and "the big 3". also thats isn't how the crossover works,the crossover only changes your highest sound frequency level(hz). example,I have the amp for my subs to play tones 100hz and below,my amp for my door speakers is set to play 80hz and above. what you may be thinking of is the gain. do a quick search here on how to set amplifier gain.
I'm fairly versed in mobile sound systems, but I can appreciate how simple and to the point your explanation through out the entire video was.
You need to chrisfix powerclean your engine bay
That sexy car deserves TLC

Diego ramdhani COLLAB IDEA???
No he needs chrisfix blinker fluid 😂
Chrisfix lost a sub when he told me to WAX MY WINDSHIELD... SMH
I'm just imagining rob running round his room for ages taking these outro pictures haha
I installed this box in my wife's Subaru 3 years ago. Still sounds good. It doesn't shake the car next to you at a light, but it does fill the car with bass that you can feel. I used a high power rca converter with power control to stock receiver. No, it doesn't compare to my 2000 watt system in my El Camino, but for the price, you can't go wrong.
Better than no subwoofer.
Is it still working?
@@jfugler7250 yes. No issues
@@concretereef lets see the elco!!!
@@sippping ua-cam.com/video/aMU4oFkY1qI/v-deo.html
A good rule of thumb that you forgot to mention is to run your power on one side and speaker wire on the other to reduce unwanted noise.
a good idea is to not buy a sub like that lol
0:06 so much passion and disappointment in one shot. Dahm for President
Always remove the negative battery terminal first! You also should have used an existing wiring grommet to feed the power cable through the firewall and not through the fender. And the power wire should be wired directly to the positive battery terminal!
Don’t forget make sure the ground is a non painted surface
the positive wire on the fuse box 💀💀💀💀
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION:
First of all. Great effort. A+ for trying it yourself and do not want to discourage anyone from DIY BUT:
1. you should always remove the NEGATIVE from the battery terminal before running a wire. (if that + fell to the bodywork... SPARKS!!)
2. That wire is LIVE as he ran it thru the car and could have caused sparks / or even worse a fire.
3 Always run it from the terminal post and NOT the fuse box.
4. Run the wire thru you rubber grommets in the firewall. The door Jam will break the wire and yep, cause a fire.
5. they gave you straps for a reason. use them or you could get hurt from a flying box
6. set gains to prevent blown subs, plenty of vids online
Hey I just ran mine from the battery but why can't someone run it from the fuse box?
That's the first thing that made me groan, was not removing the battery ground(negative terminal)
It's possible to run through a fuse box but the catch is, you have to use small wire like 8 gauge stuff, anything bigger then of course it goes to the battery terminal
If your fuse isn't in the fuse holster its not a live wire 🤣 it was live for about 1ft lmao
@@shattershots3171 yeah some people just want to complain about things they ASSume based off a cut up edited video lol
100 bucks on fb marketplace will go a long way if you have enough patiwnce and wait for the right deal....
zenith0000 you’re not wrong I’m getting a Rockford fosgate p1 15” for 110
That's still pretty cheap...people that deal with car audio know how much it's worth....you see tons of mtx, generic speakers......every now and then you'll see an alpine type R, I've still never seen a type X yet
Thats how i got a mint condition 21 inch sub for 350, and a kicker solo x 18 for 400 good condition. Fb Marketplace is bitchin
Yeah I bough a $80 1000w sony explode anp and 1200w Sony explode husband box from a junkyard I rather buy used than buy that
@@brandonpurple8938 I bought a pair of audio pipe 12s in a box with 2 amps and a cross over for 100 bucks. Ran them hard for a year before they went. Running NVX now on the same soundlabs amp that i bought with the audio pipes. Buddy is running the box now cause i built my own. The second amp (matched set) is in my f250 now on a set of pioneers i got for 100 bucks in the original boxes with a good ported box for an additional 60. Its in the back seat and makes my wipers jump and gets low with no distortion. Just took a few weeks of stalking to find a good deal.
Wait, did he just pull off his fender to run that power cable, what!
It's easy you just undo 4 bolts and you get plenty of access, then put the bolts back in and it goes back to how it was
Or it can be a Renault and must do ... Fuck it !!!
I had to do that in my car too. It only has one hole in the firewall and it was on the opposite side of the engine compartment as my battery. Running the wire through the front fender was the only way it would reach
Yea, I thought "what" Too... I've installed a gazillion stereos and never tried that. My wires all go thru the firewall as close to a straight shot from the battery as possible. There is always a way. I've drilled thru and rubber gromitted the hole. I also run all the wires together so it's less tearing of the car/truck apart,, saves time... good job tho it all came togather in the end.
Lessco Electronics 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂
Would’ve been a much more entertaining video had you taken this sub to a car audio installation company and had them install it! The looks and begging you to upgrade would have been priceless!
A couple of tips to optimize the sound. If you want to get better sound out of the front speakers install " bass blockers" in the line. They are small capacitors that block lower frequencies at different levels. It allows them to be turned up more without distortion.
If you hear a wine in the sub woofer that changes with the speed of the engine then separate the turn on line from the RCA inputs. They are sensitive to inductive pickup noise. I know its not that apparent in subs but that internal crossover is probably only 6 dbs per octive at best 12 which will have some high frequency bleed through.
I watched your inexpensive radio install and this video and liked them both. Here's a suggestion for your next inexpensive install. Walmart also carries inexpensive "super tweeters". Your car has door mounted speakers like my truck and the sound stage was low and unnatural. If you install a pair of super tweeters that and can be attached to your dash with double-sided tape, it makes a world of difference. The secret is to connect them as your front speakers and your door speakers as your rear speakers so you can use the radio fader to balance the sound between them and the door speakers. You will be amazed at how it brings the voices and highs up to dash level and makes the system sound so much more balanced at very little cost. That's why many car now have tweeters in the dash or top of the door in the ones with better factory systems. Anyway, just a thought.
it should be placed back on the shelf at walmart
Burst out laughing at this comment. Gold!
💀💀💀💀
Nothing wrong with walmart! At least he saved money! There is always a hater! I sware!
I just bought the speaker yesterday
Matthew Newton that sub shouldn't have been made
Dude you now have the most bad ass Honda insight ever!!!!! LOL.

NOGAROOOOOO

Ricardo Andres thank you very much.
Jon Mar yah buddy one of the best colors ever.
went from drivin a lambo to installing walmart sound systems in his honda
Josh That's what a RX-7 will do to you.
Watched this little series, and no criticizing a budget build here, you did great adhering to the theme. If you're a first timer or don't have the money to go all out on a car audio system, this is a genuinely helpful guide to the very basics. This video is not for enthusiasts who have a $2,000 system, it's for a kid or broke person to upgrade from really crap factory audio (no offense, Honda, but those factory speakers were tinny as hell) to something a tier or two up to make their drive more enjoyable.
I just pulled this same sub out of a truck I just bought. I thought it was pretty decent, but I still upgraded to something better. My only beef with this sub is that there isn't much room for a port, or vent, and it doesnt do low end bass all that well. But it's still worth saving your $70, and waiting till you have atleast $200 and you can get better sound.
0:30... Sounds like a typical Walmart
I think this guy did a GREAT job wiring. Running the wire behind the fender eliminated the need to drill or add holes in the fire wall, and it thoroughly separated the power wire from any other wire to avoid future confusion. I would feel better if it was right on the battery but to each his own. Separating the power wire from the audio wires is also very important, keeps the sound clean. Just dont waste your time with wal mart stuff, well maybe if you have to. I used to get 6x9s there to be honest
I'm way to high to be watching this, this guy is literally so good at explaining every single detail, I'm having problems watching the video cause my brain can't keep up 😂
Thank god... thought poor Erica was holding the camera the entire time having to watch Rob reverse osmosis back thru puberty.
Hopefully she doesn’t watch this video 😂
I bought this sub box combo for my wifes car shes not into huge bass so this unit worked well for low bass notes adds a surround sound type system so for 80 bucks dose the job
Wal-Mart audio components are engineered to sound better to people who cannot spell.
@@strangerdanger1271 would it be for ppl that can not hear?
TRUMP DO A MASS DEMONSTRATION!!!!!💯💯💯💯💯
My friend mounted a 15inch sub in his shit Kia Rio. Left the stock speakers too. Was the best playing anything as it added so much bass it shook your soul lol. Radio song, "sweet home Alabama" buuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaammmm, "where the skies are to blue" buuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaammmm. Shit was the best lol.
Team Shmo hey Kia Rio isn't shit haha I got an 09 with all stock and an infinity sub out of a 2013 Kia optima sounds good
I laughed way too loud at this 😂 I want to experience this
Team Shmo I drive a Kia Rio lmao this gave me an idea
paul wood massive sub that takes up 3/4 of the truck (his is hatchback too lol) and an android based touchscreen unit in the front. Literally revolutionized the car. It still won't be fast or safe but you'll have more technology than your average living room lol.
I have the regular sedan I got the 2010 lx the only good thing is the great mileage
“Gotta keep your ish strapped in case anyone pulls up on you”🤣🤣
I can't stress this enough: buy used shit. It's gonna break eventually anyway but probably long after warranty. For $70, you can get brand name speakers and box. Pawn shops and Craigslist baby. I bought two MTX 10's in a box perfect for under my z71 and only paid $80. And bought a home modified amp from ebay for $70 that absolutely blows away my previous $200 amp. There really isn't a whole lot to speakers and amps. Shop smart. Wait for all the drug addicts who blew their money on expensive stereo systems to get hard up.
Yea i bought 3 JL Audio 10W-1 and with ported box for got all 3 for One crisp Benjamin lol just got to be patient
I got 2 15 inch mmats in box for 300.
Where I live outrageous audio has a ton of cheap holiday deals. Look up subs online and price check with then. It's hella cheap and you get good quality subs, amps, boxes, etc.
I would never buy used, because I don't trust the people who owned it before to treat it correctly. Who knows how they had the speakers wired up and if they beat on it with an incorrect power rating. People are dumb, some people think Max Watts is what it runs at and have no clue what RMS power is or how Ohms work.
Crack deals :)
this is a cool option for the people who aren't quite ready to get an actual sub and amp but want *something* on a budget
(it is really weak just FYI, camera guy was correct)
The only difference between this, and a separate sub and amp is 2 wires, and the amp isn't in the box. You also don't have to wire that stupid harness.
if you buy a shit sub and a bad 300w amp yeah, but my low end 10" on whatever built in amp is in my Logitech home theater system (X-530) blows this thing out of the water. and my cousin's setup which has cost him total about $100-$120 is a 1200w 12" on an 800w amp and makes this little prebuilt one look like a tweeter. bottom line is for a little extra money you can do much better, but this is still a good choice for people who just want to throw a cheap one in their car and be done with it, without worrying about RMS wattage, peak wattage, gain, all that shit you have to start looking into when you get into an actual system.
EDIT: it seems like the AMP in my Logitech home theater system is 70 watts, kind of surprising for how much bass it can push through my 10", now i wonder what it can do with a good AMP in a car :Thinking:
BigMan7o0 probably best not to hook it up to a different source, there's probably not much to gain
BigMan7o0 The home sub is probably highly sensitive. Something like 92db/1w. Also, matching subs and amp are not hard. Gain isn’t even an issue whenever you match RMS. You should also always overpower a little. Crossover is a bigger deal than gain.
GhilleGhille to a certain extent yeah, it really depends on the use case. For something like wanting a massive amount of bass at the highest volume possible, you would really need to pay attention to wattage and shit so you don't blow your sub, and gain would be more of a "do I want/need this for my use case, and why?" Kind of thing, not necessarily a "oh it doesn't have gain 0/10 bad AMP"
270W wiring for a 300W amp. Nice
I found that funny too. But I shortened the power loop considerably so the gauge of wire will work for higher amps. Not going to lie. I don’t expect that sub to actually be a 300w setup but idk.
Not a chance in all of hell that sub is 300w RMS. No way, no how.
its 100w continuous
That sub is probebly runing around 50W because cheap subs often cheat the numbers
Linkan Laddtryck 300 amps PEAK POWER, the rms is half if not less of that.
As noted below, when I added a Bazooka-style powered tube subwoofer to the trunk of my old Volvo, I connected the power lead directly to the positive terminal of the battery and then through it through a grommet in the firewall. I used that setup for 15 years with no problems and it sounded good. And I was not skilled - the instructions that came with the tube stated to hook the unit up that way.
This makes me want to do a speaker install. Except with good stuff lol
Nicholas Lopes do it bro you won’t go back subs add that little bit extra that normal speakers just don’t have makes the whole stereo better sounding a lot of people think of subs like big rattling shake my damn doors off but there’s a size for every application even if your just looking for some good sounds me on the other hand I enjoy a bass big enough that it shakes my damn review mirror and shit just fun to have and it’s a riot when you got a party in your car or truck
Damn dude thats a long sentence, how big are your lungs?
In my last car i made a custom subwoofer enclosure in the spare tire well. It was pretty sick plus I still had all my trunk space
Nicholas Lopes that’s what I’m talking bout fuck dude thanks. I been wondering what I was gonna do with the amp in the back of my suv and after reading this i took off my jack compartment and the amp fits perfectly. So kudos for giving me some help without meaning to.
Jesper Lind I swim across the lake to Canada every single day then back to Michigan you can’t top this probably shouldn’t try reading the whole thing unless you got your endurance training in and you never miss lung day but don’t worry you will get there .....?????!!!!!!!!’’’’’ Put them where you want them😀
when you did that 20$ radio install..I thought ya right 20 bucks for a radio...Sure enough, Walmart has it selling for 19.84$.I just about pissed myself laughing...great job man. loved the video.
If you want to actually see how the speaker sounds go to 8:56
camlam999 yeah definitely didn't need his install and bullshit commentary
Lol did the speaker even vibrate lol
camlam999 was
You can't hear bass through a computer .....
Lol I expected to find a boring video but instead found someone who made this entertaining.
Is it bad that I'm more excited for the Honda Insight videos than the 4 Rotor?
This is a slippery slope Rob... Once you get the taste for quality car audio it just becomes another "ooooo let me just get a bigger sub/amp" then speakers, head unit, etc... Before you know it you'll be competing... Okay maybe not that extreme but you'll wanna one up your buddies system lmfao
Mike Bender dude no fucking joke. I bought those 6x9 kickers for the two front doors and next thing you know, i have an amp and 4 more 6x9's and 2 12in kicks sub. What have I doneeee
Same haha I started off with just changing the head unit now I have all new speakers and 2 sundown 12s lol
True. Started with two 10s, went to two 12s with aftermarket speakers and here I am now, with pro mid ranges, super bullet tweeters and one 15 🤷🏽♂️
guapman how do you like those sundowns? I am gonna be doing a nice setup in my c6 base with a dual 12" downfire box. I was thinking I will eventually upgrade to the sundowns but I'm worried about the cu ft in the sealed box. Only .7 cu ft per side.....
Why do you need that much bass? I would be more than happy with ONE 10'', or even a high quality 8'' lol
As long as it doesn’t go in the 4 rotor, it’s okay.
He ran his power wire with the factory harness which probably runs rear lights and maybe the fuel pump! The wires never went through the door jamb. He did a decent job for a DYI guy.
man.. lok at him now, doing wiring on a indycar engine
You should really ChrisFix your entire car.
Don't hate this subwoofer we all used low end subs before high ender subs . It gets the job done at the end of the day that's all that matters .
ORANGE BOY 714, exactly dude. We've all bought the cheap crap to begin with. And then spent thousands
Carlos . B pretty sure those 12s bump and yeah
Hell yo an alpine bass line is pretty budget though and those get down he could have picked one of those up for 40$ online and that leaves room for a cheap amp to and it would have already been better then a duel but hey I’m not hating some people just want the boom sound and no feeling behind the music which I respect but I like to feel the music while at the same time not drowning it out with to much bass
I didn't. Why would I use crappy subs when the good ones don't cost much more
I had a 8inch bazooka bass tube in HS.
*so who found that little kid screaming irritating?*
I definitely did. I left that in because that’s a genuine Walmart experience. I never shop there. But when I do it’s a war zone
Rob Dahm same in England we have asda so I always go with headphones on
Like TMR said.. headphones FTW!
TMR_MEDIA 69 he sounded Like a god damn parrot
Fun fact, Asda is owned by Walmart so exact same experience!
Hahaha, takes me back to my 20’s when I would do some installs. The stuff I did was higher end, but the wiring is basically the same.
If the wiring was the same, please NEVER touch electrical wires ever again.
Give me 10 minutes have it all done ❤😂 cake work boys ❤
0:09 You're wearing a different outfit than the next scene. But the same as the last. TIME TRAVEL?!
Layne White time travel, what. Rob Dahm I'm you have access to a time machine then why the hell isn't the 4 rotor done yet!?!?!?!?!? Lol
Why would the 4 rotor need to be done in the current time? If he can time travel, then he can just go to the future when it is done and drive it then.
That is what the silver play button does. You press it for time travel.

That power wire should have gone through the firewall, there should be plenty of holes with wires already going through, just use one of those.
I run up through the top between the hood/ wiper/ fender crease. Down behind the door hinges so it don't get pinched and throught the door wiring rubber boot through the kick panel then back to the trunck
I ain't even mad. Budget builds are cool. I love seeing what you can do for as little money as possible.
Place the subwoofer facing towards the trunk.
Brisko well bas is omnidirectional which means your ears can't distinguish where it's coming from so doesn't matter where u face it but ussually yes facing it to the back I'd better which is forcing all the bass to simple way of putting it is that it collects and builds up pressure at the back of the car before being bounced up to you at the front of the car it is louder
I did not just see that power wire go through the door!! Rookie moves 101!
he really has no idea what hes doing lol, he dident even solder any of the connections on his aftermarket radio, they are all electrical taped together lmfao
It must be the cheapest and quickest way to install
I installed a 800$ painless wiring harness 21 circuit in my 67 falcon and every connection is not soldered. Simply twisted together and wrapped with shrink tube. You don’t need soldering tbh.
@@redbird283 yeah I don't think the solder is needed. All I did with mine was put little caps over them and crimped them. Well over 2 years ago now and it's been just fine. And I have a 2300watt set up.
@@redbird283 yeah fuck soldering. I'll do it if I have to. But I'd rather not deal with burning myself/inhale potentially carcinogenic fumes
People... do NOT EVER run power from the fuse box!!
Wow, this guy is an idiot. Neve let him near any audio equipment of value. Man, please never make a at audio video again. Someone going to catch their car on fire
what a fucking dumbass everytime that amp draws power it's going to surge ur fuse box you are a fucking loser
Jordan Murray I talk to anyone anyway I want
You guys obviously don't know how the engine compartment of the insight is set up lmao there's nothing wrong with this.
Some fuse junction boxes actually have a couple of bolts for connecting high power gear. Bolts are directly linked to the 8, 6, or 4 awg wire coming from the battery.
About 34 years ago I was doing that to an Omni 024. Only there were no subwoofers sold like that,so I went Jensen 6X9's. I think I had Panasonic 6" in front. With a no name 20 watt x 2 amplifier. It was way better than the dashboard's original 6x9 that was just an oval..no tweet or midrange.
It was so important then.
This is the first time I have seen a fender removal to run a power wire. To save time you can use a cutting torch to remove the fender 😂.
Always disconnect you battery negative before your positive and reconnect your positive before negative. If only removing one battery lead make it the negative.
Finally someone on here has sense. You always disconnect your negative first. From all my years of hooking up systems and etc that's rule number one.
The thing is in the electricity world people think the positive end is where the energy goes out from that's why they'll disconnect the positive instead of negative first when electrons are the particles which move in elevtricity
I was just going to say that ALWAYS disconnect the neg terminal FIRST
The reason for removing the negative first, is that if your the spanner you're using to disconnect the battery shorts against the chassis while you're undoing it, it won't explode in a shower of sparks and melt everything.
I have never seen a power wire run that way! I only run the power wire through the firewall using an existing grommet....
Joseph B there are some cars where this is not possible without several hours of taking apart the dash. My 07 impala LT has a dual layer firewall that I didn't want to bother with so I ran the power wire for my system in the front fender, through the window wire grommet, and down the paneling into the trunk. It is common practice tongi through the firewall, but it's not a must
The grand prix i wired up had kinda the same idea as robs, no issues
lol right Joseph B he removing the factory assembled fender bolts too that's the fast way to get uneven panel gap
Your wiring skills have come a long way brother! 🤣😂
dude.. you can have my 2 12's..
Corey Bronson for the views
Ill take em...
can i have them instead?
whats the outro song papi?
If you follow these steps you're guaranteed to burn your car to the ground
i agree 100%, this man is a complete tool
😂😂😂😂 I'm dead
Lol
Instead of being another troll online why don't you comment how he can do it better if you actually know anything
MightiestArm that’s because he has zero clue how he could fix it :) that’s how the internet works!!
The kid in the background at 0:29 is revving it out!😂
As a professional installer i can VERY easily say you should not be doing install vids. You did almost everything wrong. From battery disconnect to wire placement & connection. I get you're doing a cheap install but anyone following your instructions is going to destroy equipment.
truly agree with you
Except nobody gives a fuck about cheapass stereo gear. You can't do the wiring wrong when you already did the purchasing wrong. However nothing he did is going to destroy anything. The worst he can do is blow a fuse or clip the amplifier and burn a cheap POS sub....but where's your video teaching Walmart shoppers how to do it right?
Care to tell us correct way
I agree, and everything is so unbalanced audio wise. If he changes that cheap head unit to a good pioneer one it would be day and night difference
Why's it have to be pioneer? lol...
Definitely should've tested with Bassnectar lol
damn bassnectar, I haven't heard that name in a long time
Timestretch makes my face melt
Basshead is the go-to test song isn't it?
Prefer Chasing Heaven
TKO is where it's at. Actually screw that it's all boomtastic
It should be placed back on the shelf at Walmart! #DDAudio
Hey Rob, haters gonna hate no matter what so pay them no mind. I bought the sub on sale for $49.99 plus the wiring kit (should've got the bigger amp kit thou) and I installed my self using your instruct. although I did it a little differently but whatever. The system in my truck sounded pretty weak, 4 3x5 speakers are not a strong setup and it sounded very tinny and weak. After adding this sub it is beyond my expectations, sounds just perfect for me and for under $75 I'm stroked.So thanks for the info bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey bobby v you suck and your sound system too
That sub isnt that bad actually my buddy got this as a start out in a honda accord and it worked just fine
Its funny how your time line is backwards. Start with a high end car and working your way back to a broke teenager.
Talon Zero LoL, that’s pretty accurate too. As a 37 yr old dude I can almost definitely say my days of installing subs and head units in old beater cars is probably over.
As a 44 year old dude, I can't wait till I pay off my new car and can have some beater projects again.
Alvin Brinson why a beater though? I think at this point in my life if I was going to take on a project it would be one I’d care about. I don’t generally drive new cars in general but my current car has an awesome factory stereo, the HK logic7. My last 2 vehicles both had the radio quit working and I just kind of got used to it, now I’m a bit spoiled so if I had a project car it would either be a race car with no radio or a car I loved with a good stereo. Whatever makes ya happy though, I do see a value in beaters, just not really for me right now, maybe if I worked in construction sites or got dirty at work I’d definitely get a beater.
Well, the term "beater" basically to me means a car that's cheap enough that if I break something I won't cry over it. I do like that the car runs well and correctly though.
I did get a project recently - a flood salvage PT Cruiser GT with 25,000 miles. Has the 2.4 Turbo motor, same as the SRT-4... so I can play with it, make silly power for a 4 banger sleeper... and if it blows the transmission I won't lose too much sleep. But I do of course make sure everything's in working order - so I guess that's different from being 19.
Alvin Brinson Ok, I gotcha. To me a beater has always just been basically a car I don’t care about, if someone hits the door, who cares, if the interior gets trashed from work clothes, no big deal, it’s just a means to get me where I need to go and back. I guess pretty much all of my cars fit under your description, if they break I don’t sweat it much, they are paid for so occasionally putting some money in maintenance is no big deal, it’s better than a car payment to me but I’m still quite particular about my car, I keep it clean and and I’d be pretty upset if it got a door ding or any body damage really.
The song at the end hit harder from my phone speaker than your entire subwoofer.
Just sayin'
Brian Santiago lmao 😂
Lol
😂
My Samsung S20 gut more bass
One of the best reviews and tutorials. I didnt realize you can run the wire behind the fender so thanks for the idea. God Bless!
First of all...ALWAYS UNHOOK THE NEGATIVE...THE NEGATIVE cable first...ALWAYS!
sub placement suggestion - dumpster.
I would take this shitty $70 sub over no sub any day.
he could have probably tuned it better, i heard potential. his radio was probably also at default settings (i usually put mine on powerful, or bass boost). i have gotten decent bass from factory speakers with my radio equalizer set to powerful.
Lmfao and they should jump in there too
@@dcfuksurmom rip to your door speakers. keep the bass for the subs and the highs on doors
:)
My friend has this sub in his truck to just add bass to his bassless stereo in his f250 and for $70 its not bad. Its no audiophiles dream sub but it does add bass when there is none.
On another note you DO NOT run the power wire to the fuse box..you attach it to the positive on the battery.
you do not need to or it's a bad idea to?
I have a DINDIN bluetooth speaker that I have used for a year and the sound quality is really good, this product deserves a lot of praise.
The positive has a in line fuse for a reason. Run it to the battery..
I'm sure you were supposed to disconnect from the negative post first! To prevent the positive from touching anything on the chassis. Since the chassis would be negative/ground. If the positive were to touch any metal body of the car, you could blow fuses, cause battery to short, or have something weld to the chassis and possibly catch fire.
KmanBeatz ughhh. If you disconnect the positive post, what is going to spark?
First step should be taking negative cable off.
no shit - dudes gonna kill himself
5 years ago they had a 10" kicker all in one box at Wal-Mart. I still use it today, sounds great.
Sounds great if you haven't heard a half way decent system lol
@@ascap2854 no ive heard systems that run $15,000 plus. I'm running component speakers. Dont need anything better in a hatchback.
as a current walmart employee i sadly must say i have ptsd from the kids screaming. watching this gives me flashbacks
Stuck XL screaming kids, AND THE KIDS YELLING MARCO POLLO!!!!!!!
: Russian guy in background
Don’ts puts meh on da jurtube 🧟♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aren't you supposed to remove the negative terminal first not the positive?
Yeah if you remove the negative you have a safe way of disconnecting the battery in case you drop the lead. I did kinda gloss over that one. Good call.
In fact i heard that connecting positive last is better, and from what i see it not sparks at all. We usually remove ground just to not short battery with wrench
Always the neg first and neg last. Didnt know this till recently but apparently removing the pos first and hooking the pos up last can potential blow the cars computer
kxpes always, absolutely always no if’s and’s or but’s remove the negative first. That is the safe way and the only way.
+TheRedRaven Tell me valid argument for that. I can only see that is safer because You will not short terminal during tightening
+Jeff Barton You can blow computer if you disconnect negative also, if it is not protected. Voltage jump will be jump, it doesn't matter from where.
If i'm wrong, please give me valid possibly physical explanation why
You showed us where two three way speakers would go. Most new head units are 150 watts power. All you needed were two three way speakers that would give you better sound then the sub woofer. No tearing the car apart, no wasting space for the sub woofer. Now you have a huge headache and eventually, you will get a 150 watt head unit and two 3-way speakers.
Install professional here people. Mainly, don't EVER!!! wire an amp to the fuse box EVER!!! The feed to it is gauged exactly for what it's designed to feed, nothing more (especially an amp). It runs straight to the batt anyway. Also, Dual is as garbage as it gets, just don't.
Good advice, but this dual amp probably pulls less amps than a cigarette lighter lol, it should be just fine.
He is an amateur that didn't do his homework before installing. He made the installation more difficult by removing the fender and someone has already covered wiring it to a fuse box. Uggghh...
I can hook all that other stuff up properly but did he hook the 2 ground 2 hot and 2 remote wires up
yjjeeper1 Dual is garbage? How so? Dual has made great hi-fi equipment for many years, don't judge on a low budget product, what can you expect for $70.....
Rob Monaghan I expect garbage not because it's $70 but because it's Dual, hi quality and Dual should never be in the same sentence. They are the only brand around that makes Jenson look like a premium brand. Look, fine if you like your Dual stuff because of what I have to assume is just not knowing any better or don't want to admit you threw away your money but I wouldn't brag to loud to anyone with real car audio because you'll look dumber then you sound now. I have removed Dual stuff in the back of the shop I can't even give away lol.
I am enjoying the content of your channel Rob keep up the good work.
I don't understand Mr. Spaghetti ever having one negative thing to say .
Where did you come from
Yo if they were in my car they're not even gonna look at my aux cable
Why did the algorithm bring me here on this man's amazing channel?????
