heh I live in canada and although we arent as ghetto as american probably think we are... we ARE pretty ghetto in these kinds of things. I wouldnt know where to begin looking for a custom shop to fit me up with a fiber glass box less than 350. In florida, NYC, Cali or whatever Im sure there are a million places you could name right now.. but we have a lot of shops and av places.. but i dont know how many i would actually trust. Im in edmonton so if anyone knows where to get one done. holla.

im also a noob and one of these custom places might not even be a av place, maybe you meant some random fiberglass place. =)

I was thinkin maybe the "fake" floor route to save some space. I still want a trunk but yeah cant believe the bose sound is so weak.. only a select few songs sound any good. I nnnneeeeeeed a 10 badly.

Just double checking; but these are the cables I will need for tapping into the cable before the Bose Amp?

http://www.radioshack.com/sm-24-ft-s...i-2102959.html


So I buy two of these and then splice the cables listed by the OP in that harness (cut and then place in that in line splicer thing?) and solder or place these ones in and I should be fine in regards to having the amp connected to the sub?

That's the general idea what the RCA cables will look like when you splice them into the Bose harness, but I would choose another cable. You can simply cut an RCA cable in half and strip the two cut off ends to bare wire. Then you will have something looking like the Radio Shack product.

Ok this is going to be a stupid question. I ordered everything you ordered, same amp kit aswell. I just cannot figure out how to connect the power wire to the battery. Its a big fuse block with an open end for a wire? lol how do I get this all to work?

This is my first time installing any sort of sound system, except ive done a head unit once before lol. Im a complete noob to this.

Here's a pic of how to attach it. Sorry, it's from my Blackberry. You need an end that you can screw onto the battery terminal. I think one of the guys at Best Buy gave it to me. I'm sure you can find it at Radio Shack or any stereo store. Good luck!

Ok so I have this connection below. One end is going to the amp, while the other end is open, no wire. So I gotta find another 4 gauage wire? then attach a round batter connector to that?

Yes thats your fuse block. Just cut a length of your wire coming from your amp and use that, you should have plenty left over.

Thanks, Got everthing hooked up except the sub.. Should the W6 be wire in series or parrallel? It has jumpers on the sub, right now its wired parrallel.

Also, on the 500/1 amp sub outputs. It has 2 positives and 2 negatives, do I use all four of those? if so how?
