The REAL finished product...I'm happy with it...

 

ok, that's it. Remember this was NYCG35's. I don't want to take credit for his work.

i did cut out some comments that weren't useful.

if you want the whole thing together from the old site, send me a pm and i'll send you the file on AIM or something, it's only like 5MB.

oh and here's pics of my sub job

 

Nice, thanks

 

I'm sorry if I missed this in the detailed instructions!

Would someone please let me know how the power wire was run from the battery to the amp? Just wondering if there is a hole through the firewall that would work rather than drilling a new one.

Now that I think about it, did anyone draw power from someplace else?

I'm a new g35 6mt coupe owner. Just picked it up the Lakeshore slate yesterday and the bose audio is weaker than the infinity audio that came in my old '00 dakota.

Thanks in advance! Great forum!

 

I may have answered my own question. Can the power to a second aftermarket (not so huge amp) be drawn from the same power that is provided to the Bose Amp? At the same time?

Thanks.

 

Power is fed through the stock grommet then down to the passenger kick panel then under the carpet

Seal the hole you cut with silicone

 

hey bud can you send me the DIY on the amps install? i too have the print out of it on paper but it cuts the edges on the right side and hard to figure out. thanks RX

 

hey thanks for your guide. it real helpfull. one thing. I want to tap into the stock amp to hook up mine. how do i go about hooking up the input rca's? do i need to splice into the other end of my new amp's rca to tie into one of the wires from the stock plug? thanks RX

 

I tapped into the input to the bose amp in the trunk, since it's right there where you need it. (note: the input, not the amplified outputs to the speakers) Splice into the left and right inputs and sent that right to the new sub amp's inputs. The alpine amp I have has high and low inputs so it worked fine. If your amp doesn't, you'll need a line out converter (LOC). A lot of people use them anyway, but I didn't need it.

And if you want the full copy of the old DIY, PM me an AIM screen name or an email address that can accept a just over 4 MB file.

 

hey bud thanks for the reply. what im trying to install are 2 amps. one is an Alpine MRP F-240 for my JBL mids and highs and an Hifonics 1500 Brutus mono amp for my 2 punch power HX2's please let me know if i can hook up both using the stock Bose lines (at the amp site) and will i need a convertor? and lastly, will i loose any power, add extra noise etc, by doing it this way? thanks again for your help and any others out there whove done this. RX

 

hey bud dont leave me hanging now. please respond to my last post. thanks Rx

 

where did you ground the amps and caps to?

 

have not yet installed. im thinking straight to the amp. that'l work right?

 

Just resurrecting this topic with a major question. Are there any passthroughs in the firewall that the factory made and didn't use?

I ask because I am putting a 1/0 ga power wire. Do you think it would fit in that grommet that was mentioned initially for the 4ga?

I'm not sure if there is, but you can always just drill a hole in an empty spot and use a firewall grommet to pass the wire through. Phoenix gold makes this:
