⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any RU-vid fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing - easy to spot my videos! If that's not your thing and you'd prefer to watch a face, all good, I won't be offended, there's plenty of better looking ones to watch already on RU-vid ;)
⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)

Just done similiar in my 2022 MU-X and installed a JBL SL2, only difference is I took the speaker feed from the front two dashboard speakers, easy to take out and I soldered my subbox high level cables directly and fed them down into the footwells. I didn't want to fuse tap my rears and there are way too many cables in the MU-X to unravel in the first place. I also grounded to the seat but there is no bolt in the MU-X seats so I fitted a new bolt in one of the spare holes. The SL2 has audio sense so no need for a rem cable, only thing I find with the SL2 is that it doesn't shutdown for 10 minutes when no audio detected. Sounds amazing and a huge upgrade from the stock stereo setup! Thanks for your tips Adam, always helpful.

Great video mate....and nice install. (and the other one with the underseat sub into a Jeep was good too). I'm currently shopping for an underseat sub for my d/c Navara. Not looking for huge SPL (it actually ruins good music IMO). I just want to put some foundation under my Kenwood + Infinity component set up in the front. I have a couple of questions.... - How did you mount the remote gain controllers to the dash? - Given that you already had an aftermarket head unit installed, why did you choose high/speaker-level inputs instead of plug 'n' play "sub out" port or RCA's at pre-out level ? - Pioneer, Alpine, Cerwin Vega, Kicker, Kenwood, RockFos, Sony, JBL, Focal.....etc all make active underseat subs with 8" or 10" drivers. Was there anything special or different that made you choose the Kicker units? Was it just because they were on-sale? Do you think they perform better than some others, for similiar money? I'm having trouble narrowing down my short-list!

It really depends on the vehicle. If its a car the bass might have trouble going from the trunk to the interior so the under seat box might be best. If its a hatchback or suv the spare tire enclosure might be best. Make sure both can fit, if one style doesn't, then your choice is made for you.

@SonicsnakeCNR Год назад

Hey Adam, Is it ok to hook up the power cables to that part of the positive terminal?

@JasonWW2000 10 месяцев назад

Yes, absolutely fine. Each sub only has a 15A fuse. You don't even need to connect to the battery. You can connect that to the fuse box input or even the cigarette lighter wire (since they are usually 30A). Just don't go full bass volume and push the cigarette lighter at the same time. The fuse might blow. Most of the time with music both of these subs will probably only pull 10 or 20 amps when cranked up. The stock electrical should easily handle that.

@12keysin1 Год назад

Quick question. Did you link the 2 subs together as far as wiring goes to go to the battery or where they wired separately with two inline fuses? Did you wire them as far as the output goes such left and right speakers tying them into the factory rear left and right speakers?

@VideoShowMeHow Год назад

It's in the video?

@JasonWW2000 10 месяцев назад

If you want to use two of these, a single 8ga wire an 30A fuse is more than enough. You can go to the battery or even the fuse box input since they draw so little power.

@JasonWW2000 10 месяцев назад

If the DC offset (auto on) is not working for you, you can run the blue remote wire to your fuse box. There are lots of videos online that show how to find a fuse that turns on and off with the key and there are fuse taps that allow you to add a second fuse. Just use a 1 or 2 amp fuse for that blue wire.

@primedirective00 Год назад

what is the amperage draw on a setup like that? I'm looking at putting a set under the couch in my RV but I'm not good with power

@JasonWW2000 10 месяцев назад

These units use a 15A fuse so full volume it might draw 15A. At normal listening levels you might measure 2 to 5 amps depending on the bass in the song and what frequency it's at. The most efficient setup would be a large driver or multiple drivers on a small amp. Especially using a ported box. You basically choose between power efficiency or space. Small sealed enclosures like this are not very power efficient, but they take up small space. So you have to choose which is more important to you.

@hiltonstroud1399 Год назад

Nice Video as usual. Although Hookin up a powered sub into the rear speaker cables that are amplified from the headunit is not a good idea like this. It's actually tapping into and taking away power that should be going to the rear speakers. Should 100% be coming out of RCA's or sub output out the back of the unit that runs at line level to feed the subs that are powered.

@VideoShowMeHow Год назад

Hey mate, it's not drawing any power from speakers, just uses for signal, power comes from +ve battery (red wire). These subs don't have an RCA in unfortunately. This is how kicker recommends installing these.

@hiltonstroud1399 Год назад

@@VideoShowMeHow I realise what it's doing regarding only signal and that hte sub has seperate power. Even if Kicker say to do it, it's still wrong really. Reason being is that the headunit is sending a amplified signal to the rear speakers which are passive. Then you are tapping into that and taking signal off to another device which is taking power away for that to send signal to the sub. Yes it can work but it's really not a good way or the correct way it should be done. Turning the head unit up could easily send substantial amount of watts/power to the sub input and overloading it and then performance of the rear speakers is also affected due to sharing signal. I really can't beleive Kicker would recommend doing this, it's bizzare and goes against all audio and signaling best practices.

@VideoShowMeHow Год назад

@@hiltonstroud1399 literally in the manual bud. The amount of power 'being taken away' would be tiny. I agree I'd prefer to use an proper RCA signal end to end etc but for something like this it's hardly SPL or audiophile anyway 👍

@wax333 Год назад

in my mind im thinking the same. if you had the halo HU the radio has much more controls/ crossovers etc if you connected them via RCA ps these under seat subs work a lot better when they are solidly mounted to the vehicle.

@VideoShowMeHow cheers mate cant wait for the vid🤙 what input level and phase levels are you running?

@JasonWW2000 10 месяцев назад

@@SonicsnakeCNRThe phase and crossover settings should be done by ear. Adjust it until it sounds good to you. The gain setting depends on how high the signal voltage is. I would adjust is so normal music listening levels are about half or a bit less than half of the remote bass knob level. That way you can turn it up or down based on the song playing. The bass boost typically adds output around 45Hz like a single band equalizer, but sometimes this adds distortion at high volume levels. Try to keep it at zero. If you don't max out the subwoofer you can try adding a little bass boost to see how it sounds. If you hear distortion at high volume levels turn the bass boost down.

Mine wouldnt work at alll, i had to use my blue wire for it to power up, haha even went to the shop and swapped my sub because I thought it was the sub lol

@JasonWW2000 10 месяцев назад

It just depends if your radio outputs DC offset or not. Some do, but not all.

@injection6930 10 месяцев назад

How did you connect the 2 subs together? Or are they ran totally separate wiring?

@VideoShowMeHow 10 месяцев назад

Separate power etc, shared signal, is in the video

@injection6930 10 месяцев назад

@@VideoShowMeHow Thank you for the response, I re-watched and I still don't really see how you connected both speakers. I see that you have 2 wires from the right (pos & neg) and 2 wires spliced from the left (po & neg) but I don't see how you have them both going to both speakers

@eznyt 10 месяцев назад

@VideoShowMeHow awesome vid!! I was trying to figure that out aswell please. Ive spliced both sides as per the vid but when connecting to each sub (situated behind the backseat) Ive connected the right rear speaker cables to the coinciding sub and did the same on the left side. Effectively the inputs for each sub only have one set of -/+. Is this correct?

@injection6930 10 месяцев назад

@@eznyt I found the answer, you can just tap into the signal wire at the main (your first sub) connector anywhere to receive your input signal. You don't have to run straight from the source again. Power wires should be a new/separate power wire from the battery, ground can be the same ground location.

Any chance you can explain this to someone who knows nothing? I purchased two, and want to connect them, I also have RCA cables but the back of my head unit only has one set of Red/White inputs for a sub, so I am a little lost at how I will get both connected. Any help here would be appreciated. I'd love to be able to just use one dial as well, but maybe thats not possible either.@@injection6930

the left side panel had two white and red twisted wires I found out, cut the wrong one to begin lol

@SJVids9 6 месяцев назад

I have this problem two red and whites, how did you find the correct one? Or can you use either?

@SJVids9 6 месяцев назад

FYI Turns out 1x set red and white is for rear speaker in door but other set is not for roof speaker. Not sure what other set of red and white is for, cut it first then repaired it.

@royalracerz5968 Год назад

Why did snip in half? Wrong thing to in car audio just use wire strippers to split cable not copper wire the splice the amp wire to the wire

@VideoShowMeHow Год назад

The signal wire do you mean? It's fresh strands and solder, is fine for this kind of thing. Never going to be the cleanest via speaker anyway but fine for this setup :)

Is it worth using a T Tap wire connector?

@JasonWW2000 10 месяцев назад

@@SonicsnakeCNRIf the T tap is secure and water proof it should be fine.

Go to a shop and see if you can get a demo. Your ears are a better judge than people with no clues opinions

They’re not bad, I’ve got both the Hs10 and hs8 and the 10 definitely is more powerful. For the price you can’t beat the HS8 it’s awesome

most ppl want bigger boom...so they go with 10s/12s is bigger boxes with way more power than they think they need...these are just good bottom end fillers, not neighborhood shakers

@wolffredd2664 Год назад

If I have an amp and sub already installed but I want to downsize to save trunk space to this- could I keep my current power ground and signal? It’s an 8g wiring kit so still pretty small, if i could just plug and play it’d be pretty sick!

@VideoShowMeHow Год назад

Yep sure could, would just need to connect this loom off your existing etc

@atemegabites2251 10 месяцев назад

Bad choice of songs , they seem bass less

@VideoShowMeHow 10 месяцев назад

Try listening with a decent set of headphones, sound will be limited to what you're playing it (eg your phone isn't going be able to reproduce anything bass)

Sounds like every Kicker I've ever heard. Not loud, not deep. Really flat.

@JasonWW2000 10 месяцев назад

I don't know if your just trying to insult kicker or if your saying tiny under seat subs all sound the same. I'm going to assume the latter. It takes space to make bass. 👍

@ULSB1969 10 месяцев назад

Those subs are useless, they are not proper. They are a joke, don’t come close to my 8W7, that I have in my center console.

Sound pretty dang good to me mate 👌 Sure never going to be in the same league of a full enclosed woofer with big amp etc but for what they're are they're great
