i have some wiring Q's

[bmws50b30]

OK, so I would not recommend any amp kits..you are running from the rear battery, yes? Buy 3 sets of RCAs, a fuse holder, 2 feet of 4 gauge and 10 feet of 8 gauge, plus enough ground wire to do the thing.

Now go get busy!

i'm sorry you lost me here. i'm not that experience with installing a system. this is my first time installing amps. i've installed 3 stereos but no amps. can you explain where would i use the 2 feet of 4 gauge and 10 feet of 8 gauge and how would i ground everything? I know where to use the RCA cables. you're still recommending to use 2 amps, right?

thanks for your patience on this.

Dammit, why the fuck do you have to live in New Yawk?

I would trade you a matching 4 channel for the 5 channel in a fucking heartbeat!

That 5 channel is a pile of crap, but it would be perfect for the GFs car until the new Exile comes out...and I have a very similar Alpine 4 channel to your 2 channel...you could have matching amps, she could have 5 channels with me hearing her whine about all the room 2 amps take up...

thanks luke. i may have more Q's along the way. i'm taking my time on this install to get it right the first time. i did a search and was reading on some of the install threads. they said not ot run audio wires with power wires. i'll be running 2 amps and never dealt with a distibution block. should i use one or just buy 2 amp wiring kit? if i go with the 2 amp wiring kit, would i be running 2 remote turn on an connect both to the head unit wire? here are the amps i'll be running. i bought the amps from a friend really cheap and it should do the job for my setup.




the sub i'll be using. i need to get a box done for it

You are doing just fine in using the stock tweeter wire...good that you found the other end in the kickpanel.

I would advise against running the RCAs along the passenger side. Far more chance of noise, seeing the main battery run is there.

Rear seat mounting (trunk firewall) is just fine too. When you pull the back seat, you will find grommets at the top of each side, just cut a new hole to run your cables through.

Looks like you have it under control!

Oh yeah, those tweeters....I carefully cut through the glue using a new blade on your X-acto knife, then carefully pry with small screwdriver.

GL!

car i s91 318is with no premium sound. i think the car is pre wired for premium sound. can i use the exisitng wires here to connect my new tweets? is it okay to run patch cable along the pass side with the battery cable? any tricks on removing the stock tweets from the pods? i have the infinity reference 5000cs. i'll be using amps so all wires will be going to the back of the car. is it okay to mount the amps to the back of the seats in the trunk? thanks for the help.

here's the existing tweeter wires

i'll connect the crossover to there pair


patch cable along pass side


patch cable close to DME


my interior how it is now
