Install Help

[StangerBanger96]

Well my brother in law give me 2 12 or 10" (havent measured em) pioneers in a box w/amp already hooked up for free. Now im gunna have to install them and just want to run by you guys what i believe i'll need and if you can tell if im missing anything or not.

First the specs that i know of on the stuff:
will be buying a Pioneer 4700MP tomorrow
2 12 or 10" pioneers (no clue on model, i have pics) 400W each
1 550W (275x2) Soundstream SL552 amp

So here is what im thinking im going to have to do, correct me if anything else is needed or if im doing extra things that i dont need:

First ill need to get some 4ga wire to connect the amp to the battery and some RCA cables to connect the headunit to the amp

Ill also need the sosoche(sp) wiring harness to connect the 4700 to the stock wiring.

Install head unit and do all splicing/connecting needed with the harness,
Connect the amp to the headunit, done?

Any further descriptions of the install would be nice too, ill also be checking out installdr as well. Thanks!

EDIT: also, which harness would i need from all of these?

i think i have the sosoche thing that you are talking about...u can have it for 20 bux...its basically new and just chillin in my basement

well I know alot of people will hate this idea, but if you don't have a wireing kit for the subs yet you can get them cheap at wal-mart. not high quality but if you run a basic system they will get the job done I think their 4gauge runs maybe 30bucks. it's a cheap effective way to start.

kit comes with: power wire, ground wire, distribution block or two, remote wire, inline fuse, RCA's-2 sets

[Jared Balow]

yeah if ur ganna get power wire you will also need ground wire and unless you want to spend quite a bit you might as well get a kit a wal-mart cause it will have everything you need.

give me 40 bucks and ill have it wired up for you tomorrow.\another 40 and ill rerun all your speaker wire, since youll need to do that anyways. Torbs, u can buy it brand new at walmart for 15. nice try on the rip off

I wouldnt pay someone to do something i can do myself at a slightly slower pace, especially when i can learn from it. Plus my dads an electrician so if it comes down to it ill just wait til he gets home and have him help. Thanks for the offer though.
Ill be getting the head unit at Best Buy
The wiring harness and amp kit ill get at walmart

[Joel]

...good luck... not doubting you but...well talk to me after you spend 10 hours and still don't have it done.

Its not that hard. The subs are already wired up to the amp and such so alls i have to do is ground the amp, string wire from battery to the amp, take out the old head unit, put the harness on, crimp the connections, get the RCAs hooked up power, done. (probably forgot something but i wont tomorrow)

[Joel]

whatever you do don't do it ghetto. If you need help, you know my number. i was half kidding about the charging you thing. i'll come over and yell at you for free!

[StangerBanger96]

haha alright well im gunna go get the walmart stuff 3rd period tomorrow and the best buy stuff after school then start doing it in my driveway so you know where i live if you wanna swing by or whatever.

I'm actually going to give walmart the thumbs up for the wiring kit. As long as it is the AWG that you need, it'll be fine. And yes, its not that hard to wire it all up, just a piece of advice though: USE SOLDER. Seriously, your connections are only as good as your weakest link, no sense trusting a piece of tin squished over your wires to make a solid connection.

[Stormwalker]

Think of it not as much of a wiring job, but more of an interior disassembly/reassembly job.

very true stormwalker

[Guest]

you will also need a remote turn on wire...

its simple to wire a amp kit in...

i'll do it for free if you need someone to do it....only takes me about 30 minutes for everything...depending on the car

i think those were my old subs actually....i sold them to a guy for 40 bucks a couple of months ago.....they are actually damn good for how old they are.

[amicheze]

might need a battery terminal adapter too? i havent done it in a while and ive never done it in a mustang.. so i dunno for sure. maybe it depends on the kit you get.

[24valvenotak]

if the battery is sidepost you will probably need one^^

[Guest]

shouldnt need one for a stang.
