Yeah, just pull the center console trim around the shifter up, access the positive wire going to the cigarette lighter and use that for the signal wire.

 

nice write up! i'll def be doing this to my G

 

Seems impossible to find a 4080 box for a coupe now. Any idea where to find one for an 03 coupe?

Or at least the next best thing..

 

The original builder of them took his molds and has a new shop:

^^^ thanks for the link! i've been wanting to get one of these

 

Yeah thanks man, very awesome.

 

No problem. It's what I do.

 

Can someone link me to the JL Line Conversion kit he said he used? I'm a little confused on why this was needed and what it is. Going to try and do this myself

 

ive got a plug and play adapter by PAC so you can install amps without splicing into any wires. for sale if anyone is interested

 

Not the place to be posting stuff for sale.

 

im going to put one up in the marketplace soon...

 

Looking to get the exact setup he has since I have everything ordered already.

Anyone have any idea?

 

hey guys, so i can honestly say ive read through all 33 pages of this thing to make sure im getting everything right, like others im also a noob to audio install... i fully understand everything that needs to be done, the ONLY thing that im confused about is that my amp is an alpine mrd-m500 its a mono amp. looking at the rear input connectors is what gets me confused. this is the set up

2 white
2 reds
when i splice into the rear speakers do i need to use all 4 of these inputs or do i just use 2?
this is the only thing that im confused about.. i can take pix if needed to clarify.
thanks again for your help

 

just to add on my last thread, will there be:
one white left positive rca, one white left negative rca
one red right positive rca, one red left negative rca?

sorry if this doesnt make any sense but ive been banging my head trying to make sure i get everything right..
thanks guys
