Where did he connect the remote wire ? Where is he getting the turn on signal?
I tried to connect it to the fuse box I put it on the "premium amp" and to the "moon roof" but both of them keep the amplifier powered after turning off the car . The amp has his green light that says power
@Elrijioso I’m an option slot on the fuse box I think it’s slot 43. I’ll double check when I go back to my car for you
Where do we connect the remote wire? Fuse box 43?
I used a fuse tap
I stumbled upon your videos by accident, but I've been tuning in. I have an Accord Hybrid and actually like some of the mods you've installed on your car. Keep up the good work!
Thank you
Thank you for the video my man, I got all of my questions answered after reading through some comments and watching the video. Subscribed 👍
Glad to be of service. And thanks for subscribing
Keep up the great work… I learned a lot from u ✔️💪🏽👌🏽
Been thinking of upgrading my audio so I’m looking forward to seeing the hardware list
Great job on the install. I am about to install that same amp to run two 12’s in my Sonata.
i love how happy bro got
clean install homie. im inspired. just picked up my 1.5t accord sport. think ima do this as well. thx a lot for the video. keep up the amazing work!!
Rms is what you need to go by not max wattage great video
Like your set up 👍
I got me a new 12" kicker comp c powered by a 1000 watt max Alpine amp all ran though an older model alpine head unit.
Just subbed....thanks for the video. This will be the Exact setup I want in my trunk due to my Air Lift equipment and my desire to keep access to my spare tire. 👍🏾👍🏾
Nice job!
Thank you
I have a 2022 honda accord sport, I want to install dinner underneath Subwoofer to the factory stero, I need to know what to do once I get behind the radio
Love your videos bro. Learned alot. Can you tell me how you hooked up the line output converter? and where did you connect your amplifier remote wire and how did you tap into your cars speakers? Thanks
I pulled the high input from the rear trunk speakers. And I have a bass knob that came with the amp running to the front of the car.
Nice video. Wish you would've showed more video of how you anchored the new enclosure to the car. Did you drill a hole into the chassis?
Also how long did you have the sub underpowered for? You were missing OUT!
I have a '11 Accord EX-L and put a 400w rms kenwood in it when I first bought it. 10 yrs later and I'm about to upgrade it to dual 12" kicker compR's pushing 500w rms each. Also upgrading all 4 speakers with dedicated amp. I'm pumped!
For about half a year. I knew I wanted a different setup about a month in 😂
I just got the same setup you're talking about! How are you liking it?
I love it so far. It’s been good no problems out of it.
Hey bro love the video. I’m about to put in an 12in sub in my ‘19 accord. Wanted to ask you - does the car rattle when the bass hits or is it clean sound? Thanks for the reply !!
Depends on the frequency sound frequencies cars rattling in my light fixtures and my trunk.
Nice work, add 1 more to the other side 👍
Thanks man. Just convinced me either i got enough bass or I’m paying someone to do this shit.
Hahahhaha same 😂 i don't even know why I watch these 'how to' videos
I have the 10 inch in that subwoofer for my Prius with a JVC dr3000 and the subwoofer smell burning from new
this is great. I can't wait to do the same to my accord. does the sub carry the bass through the whole car? I know with the stock system I can hear it knocking in the backseat on certain songs but then I don't get that same knock when I drive. is there interior speakers I should think about changing too or is the sub enough to get that good bass to the front seat?
I enjoy the bass that I get from this setup but I plan on updating my interior speakers to get better highs and mids
Nice bump bro.
Appreciate it
I put a sub in mine and i unplugged the ANC but now it sounds like my sub cuts out any idea why?
Alright, that really made me laugh.
Nice bud. I have a 2022 accord sport and installed a kicker comp 12 300watts at 2ohm rms and a kicker cx400.1 which gives 300 watts at 2ohm. I tapped into rear speakers too get signal. It doesn't rattle anything on the outside and gives decent bass inside. I think I should've tapped into the front speakers though for the stronger signal. I.m.o. it should bang a.luytle harder inside my car.
Definitely tap into the front speakers and let me know how it goes. I'm very disappointed with my setup so far,,, the bass roll off at higher volumes is hard to fix. Plus the accord head unit just doesn't put out the lower frequencies we need!
@@dvnstone actually still tapped into rear speakers. I upgraded the amp too the kicker key 500.1. Downloaded the 2 test tones that set the gain and bring back the bass signal lost at headunit as it has a built in d.s.p. hooked up too my 12 inch comp r. Perfect set up now. Sounds perfect. No need too run too front speakers either.
@@jeffd3802 interesting,, good to know! So you are not getting a reduction in bass at higher volumes? Very well could be something wrong I'm doing to the tuning
@@jeffd3802just got a 22 accord as well thank you for explaining
Just bought a 2021 Accord Touring. It has the upgraded 450W system with its own sub but I need more. I was looking at the comoany there in Jacksonville that made that custom box I like that. I was going to go with their box and get me a 12" type R sub. How has the box been holding up??
The box is good it’s just heavy ash.
Thought about upgrading stock speakers and hooking small amp to them since the stock don't sound good.
Yeah I have but not right now.
I have the same box and I’m running a kicker L7. I was wondering, is that bolt inside what’s holding the box in place while driving? I’ve tried everything from Velcro, screws, etc. have an upcoming car show so I want to make it look clean but in place so it won’t fall or loosen up while driving
@Kevin Martinez I have a bolt going through the hole that the trunk hook was in and then I just fastened the box to the bolt. @ 23:30 I go over my bolting setup.
What was the adapter that you used to plug into the rear speakers to get the left and right wire for the amp
It’s a custom made wiring harness that I made
Nice install music suxs
😂😂
I installed the amp few days back but i was trying to connect output from 4 channel amp to factory rear speakers they just stopped working suddenly all 3 at the back checked fuses and everything looks okay help please
Make sure you follow the factory wiring diagram. and don't cross any wires or ground them
Did you really have to cut the floor mat, that would have been a deal breaker for me? Also do you have the link for the box and do they make both sides and ported boxes??
No but it would be trapped under the subwoofer and you couldn’t access your spare or jack
No change to stock speakers and tweeters? I like this stock system waaay better than my 2012 hyundai elantra, but it still sucks. On the first i have an install appointment, I'm having a place install my new tweeters, front, and rear speakers are all Rockford Fosgate and a 2k watt pioneer amp for them. Rockford Fosgate 12 inch sub in enclosed box or 2 jbl 10s in ported box ( I have both but haven't decided which ones i wanna do yet) and I can't recall the 4k watt amp name at the moment for that. Was going to put all that in the elantra til I decided to get a new car instead 😆 love your videos can't wait to see more.
I want to upgrade the speakers in the car eventually but I’m good right now.
@@JDUB2580CZcams I spend at least 1.5 hours per direction (3 hrs a day) for work so music is a must for me.
@franqdatank I was thinking about upgrading the amp too since I’d be getting new speakers. But then I’d go down a rabbit hole and want to sound deaden the doors and my trunk. Then since I have the head unit out I’d probably try to upgrade to the rumored 9” Honda Accord head unit.
I’m getting engine idle and rev match with my sub it’s mad annoying, does anyone know what it could be
The ANC module is still active. Just search it on google its under the dash bin storage.
Bro wat all did you upgrade when you got your system in? Should i get a battery capacitor or just leave everything stock?
Idk I didn’t use one. I just added a amp and sub.
did you disconnect the active noice cancelation boxes? Some others have said leaving this plugged in blew up their sub
Yeah I unplugged it a long time ago
Hey find your Channel and its interesting. Can these installs works with my Honda accord 2021 sport? Also what are the best black outs to use and is it the same as vinyl wraps?
Most can, just the front bumper mods you’ll have to source for your year model.
@@JDUB2580CZcams reason I asked was because I had ordered some red front lip grille and it stated online it was compatible with 2018-2021 but it did not fit the front at all...majorly disappointed so poised to send back now...think it's because it's a sport.
I’m sorry to hear that. But when I order stuff I usually look at the bumper to confirm if it’ll fit my car
What amp would you recommend to power two of these jbl club ws1200 subs?
Something that you can link together. The amp that I’m running you can link two of the same amps together.
As for the $400 spent , do you believe it's not worth the price as far as how it sounds or the price was just too much ?
it’s worth it only because of the space I save with this setup
Hey i got 2 12 with a massive box with a chuchero i want to get space but is not the same quality audio if i do it like u did
the bass from this setup was good enough for me. not gonna blow the doors off tho
Are you able to change the subwoofer bass through your stereo using the subwoofer option? It has the option on my stereo, but it doesn't show its selectable.
No I have the stock 6 speaker system and it doesn’t have a subwoofer. Ik the touring models have the upgraded speakers and I feel like you would be able to take the signal from that to a different amp and control it that way but I don’t have that system to test it.
@@JDUB2580CZcams I see. The ex model doesn't come with a sub, but it does show it in the sound audio setting for my display. So it makes me wonder if I can tap into the possible stock amp powering my radio speakers and access the sub option from there?
What fuse did you tap in for the amp signal
It was one of the options fuses
Hey bro where did you put your remote wire for the sub to turn on with ignition?
Slot 43!
Help me out if you want to tune the frequency and make it hit hard what did you adjust
I tuned in to the lower frequencies and set the amp to ignore higher frequencies
Do you have to remove the stereo anytime when you had to install the sub during the wiring process?
In some cases you have to. But for me I didn’t. I tapped in to the signal from the rear speaker
@@JDUB2580CZcams I have an accord hybrid new one so I don’t have to remove stereo? I can do the same thing?
Wassup I had a subwoofer in my 2018 accord aswell and the only problem was after playing loud music for sometime my audio/touchscreen would turn off.. I’m wondering if you have that problem too? I’m assuming it’s from overworking the audio.. also I no longer have the sub and still run into this problem when I play my music loud..
No I haven’t ran into this problem I don’t know what would cause that
Common problem for our cars. Try updating the head unit.
@jul Ian
Which fuse did you use for the remote wire to turn on the amp
35? I can't remember but it was a switched fuse
Hey what do you think of the side trunk box did you loose any sound opposed to a regular box
I loved it because it saved space in my trunk
Where did u connect ur signal wire from. Did u use a fuse from the the fuse box or from behind the radio
Fuse from fuse box. I believe I have a comment about it on this thread
How you connect the rca to the rear speakers
I built a custom wiring harness for the rear speakers
I have a 2018 accord with 2 10inch skar EVL
But yours hitting i like it 🤙🏾 and you extremely right about bass knob cool vid bro 😎
Did you have to drill a hole for the bass knob? How’d you install it?
Yes I took the bass knob apart and drilled a hole in the blank switch spot
What did you have to do with the radio in order for the car to play through the sub?
Nothing. I tapped into the rear speaker signal for the amp
A question was maybe already asked . Did you connect it to the back of the stock navigation system?
No the signal is coming from the rear trunk speakers
Has the system gave you any trouble with your battery? Like making it go dead? I installed a sub in my 2002 impala and kept having battery issues….. have a 2021 accord 2.0 now needless to say.
Not so far. I don’t listen to music unless my car is on so it doesn’t have a chance to drain
@@JDUB2580CZcams one more question. that speaker harness for the back speakers to connect to the amp. where do you find those?
I made it myself. I went to the junk yard an got some connectors and made an inline harness so I didn’t have to splice any factory wires.
hey bro im thinking about doing this if I want to could I do both sides I just buy another right?
Yeah. It’s the same you just need a little bit more wiring and probably another amp or one that can power two subs
any links for a better speaker system all around?
No. I plan on doing a speaker upgrade in the future stay tuned!!
Just got the same amp for my Sundown Sa 12, but it barely moves the speaker. What are your Gain settings etc like?
Not sure. I don't have the car anymore. but you might need to change the Frequency gain
@@JDUB2580CZcams It slaps now xD
Hey man. Trying to hook this up right now. Where did you plug your rem connector into ?
Into my fuse box under the dash
What fuse did you connect to?
Slot 43
How is the box secured to the trunk?
I’m using a bold though the OEM hook location
Came upon your Channel I got mods to the engine and a sub but it takes hella space lmao and not I need me a box like yours not only that but I think I have a weak amp and my sub ain’t at its full potential
Yeah that was how I had mine for about 6 months
Bro were or how did you get the high out put for the rear speakers, did you make that.?
Yes I made it. I got the male and female connectors to create the harness so I didn’t have to cut into my factory harness.
@@JDUB2580CZcams I think I'll make one as well, any suggestions for me being that you made one already?
Use quality wire. Add wire sheathing to make it look professional. Source the male and female connectors from online or junk yards that’s where I got mine from.
Hey dude can you tell me witch wire is negative and positive on the speakers? my car is an Accord 2019
If it has a black line on it then it’s negative
@@JDUB2580CZcams that’s the problem I have a blue wire and yellow on the other side is a white and brown
I might have to downgrade my W6 so I can go low profile
How do you like the box? I was going to buy them for my 20 accord.
I like it I’m thinking bout getting another one for the right side.
@@JDUB2580CZcams that was my 1st thought to get two but their no cheap lol. But I had seen yours and was thinking one 10" would work. I currently have four massive audio 6's in a custom box
It’s gonna be a while before I get a second one but I think it’s the best option on the market right now.
How did you get the signal to the amp
I made a custom harness that got the signal from the rear speakers
I had a breaker on my old truck. It got hot over and over and couldbt be reset after awhile
I haven’t tripped mine yet
@Jdub2580 yea mine would get hot from the engine
Gl
Can you do a video with the wiring it to the radio ect.
I didn’t wire it to my radio I tapped into my rear speakers for a signal
@@JDUB2580CZcams can you make a video on that I have a 2018 1.5t sport and I been wanting to put subs but can’t find nothing online only thing I find is the touring models that have factory subs and the cheapest place I’ve gone to see prices was 500$ for install alone which is ridiculous I’ve done it before just on older cars with aftermarket radios so this new tech is new to me
@@chrisisalive8315 Well man its pretty common for people to just tap the back speakers and feed them into the high level input of a subwoofer amp. If you wanted you could also tap into those wires and use a loc and it will get you RCA's our for an amp aswell. Kicker sells a nice one for 20 bucks or something.
Just curious. Did you have to drill a hole in the firewall, or did you find an existing one to use?
@Stacy Edenton. I cut a small slit in the wire grommet on the fire wall. It’s right above the break pedal.
Yo I respect all the work bro, but you’re over powering tf out of the subwoofer. Your sub is rated 250 watts rms and the new amp is rated at 1000 watts rms @ 2 ohms. When trying to match subs and amps always base it off the rms watts not the peak watts. All in all i fw the channel heavy
That’s why I have the speaker on 4 ohms I was told it’s fine to run it a little over
It's not a bad idea to have a more powerful amp, you can turn the gain down and the amp will run cool.
I recommend you to no use selftaping screw. Just get some rivet nut and screw its the best way
What volume do you mostly have it at? Pls respond to this
10-15
@@JDUB2580CZcams what was the music you were using to tune your amp
Just music with bass that you listen too regularly
How did u get the round subwoofer box that fits the trunk
I ordered it form a company in Florida
I ordered it form a company in Florida
@@JDUB2580CZcams what’s the company name am trynna get one for my 2017 Honda Accord sport wanna do the something you did
store.audiodesignscg.com/product/honda-accord-subwoofer-box/
Is the amplifier good enough
and how did u connect it with your car speakers so it plays sound at the sometime
and can you give us a link to the sound you used to test the speakers
So if you wanna hear what he’s wearing get yourself a speaker Bluetooth wireless and you can hear the bass but he should’ve played a song from Tupac or something to give it a richer sound to tell if it’s worth the money 💴 because you are only playing 1 song try playing more because all songs are different and some music doesn’t go so well with the jbl speaker but I love it now I am the only one who has 2017 sport Honda who’s gonna try doing that and mod it out because there’s not that much mods for Honda 2017 for example the spoilers and such others but bro you are doing a great job 😎
I wanted to play more songs but because of copyright restrictions I wasn’t able to. But I’m enjoying it so far.
Everything perfect but didn’t show the part of how to conect it to the radio
Is there anything that you can't fix in Accord ?! 😃👍
Technically no I can fix everything on the car. It just takes practice to get everything perfect. I’m not gonna go rebuild my engine but if I had to I’d try
Genuine…
" the firewall right there " what is right there sir?
Time stamp it for me
Where u located ima just have you do mines
😂 Arkansas
Song?
not sure
I have a cheap way to keep your sub in place
Tack strips (for carpet)
Nail them into the bottom.
I wanted something that wasn’t permanent or damaging to the truck carpet
@Jdub2580 it won't damage the car bir will have holes in the box if you remove it. I used it for 10 years
Oh. So nail the tack strips into thr box and the other side will keep your box in place. I'm thinking you're vision was the other way around
1.5 or 2.0?
2.0
First problem is box is to small for the speaker
Second you need to just go ahead and get two twelve or 15s I understand you want space but your not going to get the bass that it can really make without the right size box
I am well aware of that. I really wanted to keep my trunk usable I’ve thought about getting the same box on the other side but this has been plenty of bass for my taste. And these things are heavy. I’m tryna make my car faster not slower😂
Clip city
Hope itbsounds better in person cuz frm here shit sound weak g butt it look like its flexin
💯 it sounds better than stock but it could be louder with a different sub and box. But it’s enough for what I want.
Butt of u like it thas all that matters and yeah i bet ot sounds better in person n fersure better than stock forsure u should putt another one on the other side have u thought of that itd be sweet yo
Yeah down the line if I ever wanted more bass
Its not about the Watts. Its all about the RMS!!!
Man that thing is hardly moving
I think because it’s a shallow mount it doesn’t move that much
So Many phenomenal shallow subs available, such as JL audio TW3/TW5/TW1, audison prima, Rockford fosgate T1S/P3S, etc.
This guy settled with dog 💩 JBL 🤭
Fax it blew a year later 😂 ended up getting a JL
@@JDUB2580CZcams good choice on a sound quality focus company
Dope, however I think your inch measurements are off lol
Where about?
@@JDUB2580CZcams the inch lol just a troll comment..... great vid, I know from experience how time consuming it is to go through firewall, then down the trim... keep it up G
@@JDUB2580CZcams as in D measurement lol
🥲😅
The only thing that enclosure is good for is looking cool. But $400?! Nah man. Barely worth half that, especially with the lack of good QC. That wire garbage was a shit job.
Easy access for trafficking pot across country. Lol.
😂😂
Clean install but shallow subs don’t perform as good as full size subs. I personally have a JL 13W7 with an Epicenter and an LC1.1500 AudioControl amp. The stock stereo has very low quality signal, Honda put a shitty head unit.
Yeah they did I’ve been thinking about doing a full system update
