Aftermarket Sound System Owners Post Your Setup!
its really really easy, you tap 2 wires, run a power cable from the battery to the amp, and a remote/on wire from a fuse to the amp. and the AMPs for our cars are in the trunk so the only long wires u really need are the turn-on wire and power wire. as long as ur comfortable with taking your interior apart a lil bit you'll be fine. its really easy to gut out our cars.
is this remote wire just hooked up behind the navi to... what? lol what fuse? I'm going to install a sub and amp as well but i don't have ML
** dammit john always doing something lol
The remote wire can be any wire that turns on/off when the car turns on, such as your cigarette lighter (red wire). The remote wire is what tells when the amp to turn on and off.

you can source the remote wire from the factory amp thats in the trunk. there is a thread that shows exactly which wire to tap. but if u have a test light its easy to find.

Here is my clean & simple set-up, not too little, not too much bass.
2 ohm JL 12W3V3, Alpine MRP-500 Mono block, Custom box by Tyler Adams (Custom Enclosures Inc), install by Craig Wardwell @ Auto Sound in Willoughby, OH. I had them put a bass **** in as well.
They also quoted me $1600 for a DVD/NAV unit installed, color matched plastic and all bells and whistles, i might go for it.

The new navi is def. something i'd love to get, but i cannot justify spending 2k on something where for $400 less, i'll have something that's capable of alot more than the new navi (although it seems that it has a ton of crazy features itself).
What do you have in mind for yours?
just picked up a JL Audio 1000/1v2 Amp & 3 JL Audio 12" W6 v2
the subs are a little big, anyone running this set up?
if so, just wondering how you guys had it set up in the trunk
and if anyone knows a good place to install this system because im completely new to this

3 12w6 will take up alot of room i am not sure about how your going to run it, but my friend has 2 12 w6v2 w a jl1000 in a sealed box in an is250 and the bass is already too crazy. you cant even hear the song inside the car.
