REQ: Pictorial DIY for running wire to trunk
#17
Now this was just my personal idea...figured I'd pass it to those that may like it.....but i removed the Bose amp from this bracket (its a sturdy little bracket too) and I drilled some pilot holes and laid my Capacitor mounts on it (vise vera actually) then attached my capacitor to its mounts and used this as my central power station...see pic above of step 1

Now take a look at the Bose connectors....I have a wiring list i got from G35driver....dont remember where tho...but it was right on point...saved me time.....but didnt list the polarity of the wires...but I figured that out..but told me what was what...
I will post that also in the audio section for now I'll just show the connectors

Next running +12V (power lines) you need 1 for the Cap, 1 for each amp....Now My set up is not remarkable its nice...but not pushing SILLY power....So i dont need extra batteries and stuff....I am running one 160W (RMS) x 4 amp and one 200W (RMS) x 1 amp......Total RMS (continuous power) of maybe 560Watts........Peak of maybe 750Watts.....So this is good for my power and maybe bit more......Just an FYI!

DUH I meant 360 Watts continuous (RMS)....anyways
Yes you will need you get a few maybe 4 8AWG eye hole connectors.....
Your basic tools I take it you have...If not
You will need good wire strippers ,cutters and crimpers,
flat and phillips(# 2) screw driver
metric rachets, a 12 volt test light, electrical tape (black tape)
18-22 AWG wire couplers, and 16-20 couplers,
some quick splicers would be nice too.
I think thats every this....and a Drill with some metal drilling bits....
anyways NExt Steps

Make sure you run those 8awg long enough so you can go through the same hole you came in the trunk with the 4 awg...its the easiest way to the backseat without wires being seen. run as many 8AWG from the distribution block as you need for as many AMPs you have I ran 2...I only showed one because it was basically the same thing twice
anyways continuing to build the "power station"

OK now you should have a power wires run to your amps and One ground wire run from the Cap (-) to the body and one from the Cap (-) to one Amp....Now I just added a LLC so i can get the speaker levels from the Radio and turn them into RCA line levels so I can run it to my EQ that will break 2 channels into 4 channels and also a separate subwoofer output ...
.I chose to mount the LLC to the "power station" bracket for convenience...because the radio outputs were right ther also
