Complete list of items needed to install subwoofers?

Question

I need a complete list of everything i'll need to install 2 12" kicker c12 subwoofers (beyond subs,amp, and box) by the way i'm want to still use my stock head unit

Answer 1

Amp install kit, including the following:
--power wire with ring terminals
--ground wire with ring terminals
--fuse and fuse holder (ANL or Maxi fuse holder is better than AGU, but less common)
--remote wire
--RCA cables
--speaker wire

Spade terminals for the speaker wire, if required to connect the speaker wire to the box or sub
Fork terminals for the connections at the amp, if required; these aren't always included in amp kits
A good quality line-out converter to adapt the factory speaker outputs to a line-level signal that can be connected to the amp with RCA cables
Mounting screws or bolts for securing the amplifier, plus materials to build an amp rack if required
Nut and bolt or self-tapping screw with star washer for making the ground connection

Depending on the vehicle, you may also need a battery clamp or replacement battery post to connect the power wire to the battery.

If you want to use your stock head unit, look on the back to see if you have a place to insert two RCA cables. If not, you will need to buy an aftermarket head unit. Than, at your local auto parts store, they usually sell a kit that comes with RCA cables and a remote wire. This will cost anywhere from 10 to 30 dollars. Than, you just need to hook the wires up, and run the wires. Good luck!

Answer 3

You need an amp kit which includes (power wire, ground wire, amp turn on wire, fuse, and RCAs)... Most amps take 4 gauge, but it really depends how strong your amp is. You will obviously need an amp, the subs in a box, and its a lot easier and cleaner to hook them up to a aftermarket deck. But if you have the stock deck then you will need a hi-to-low converter.
