I just removed all the trunk tar in preparation for the arrival of my LukeBox. I went the dry ice route and it was actually pretty damn fun. For starter I got to play with dry ice for a couple minutes and then you just hit shit with a hammer! I kinda want to do it again lol. That shit sure it heavy, though. Anyone know about how much a whole trunks worth is? If I had to guess I'd say 20-30 pounds, but I'm quite terrible at guessing weights.

Look at the first two posts. If you have a premium car then you have an amp in the back along with everything ran back there for the most part.

I think I kinda get it. what about if it is a premium sound car?

If your car is a NON premium speaker car the sound gets to the amp through RCAs. And when you cut the wires that are going from the head unit to the back for the rear speakers. You use the FRONT half of that wire to connect to the wires for the front speakers. So behind the radio instead of plugging the wires to the radio, you connect the front speakers to the rear feed. Its like your extending the wires without running anything. And the rear speakers are back there so that's just a simple jump. Make sense?

trying to better my understanding. The speaker wires that run out of the back of the head unit are no longer used? the "sound" travels through the RCA cables? NOOB sorry.

Whats your opinion on the fosgate r600-5? Do you think it is better than the jensen for this set up? Or even the fosgate subs?
