Soccer Dad's Audi A4 gets a Rockford Fosgate P300 12 t Installer Diaries episode 213 

This must be the best demonstration I’ve watched so far.

Wow, finally a RU-vid video with proper wiring components and technique. Nutserting the fuse was the ultimate touch. This is extremely well done! Solid work.

I love the attention to detail in making the wire assemblies! Even though no one is likely to ever see it you know its done right. IMO, all installers, whether you're shadetree or pro, should take this kind of care and be proud of it. Well done D&F!

Awesome! I remember my 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan days where i had to do the same thing. I was lucky that the stock amp has a solid 12.8 volt remote turn on lead that would turn on whenever the power button was pressed on the stock radio. I bought a 2019 Ford Flex and found a Good Remote Turn On Lead that has a Delay Turn off of 35 seconds after the car is off. Just gotta do the BIG 3 that isn't too difficult or BIG 4 i just heard about and get the ball rolling. Love seeing these installs. Thanks Dean and Fernando for always finding ways to refresh our Skills. 😎👊

From the way the sub lines up with the spare cover hinge, it looks like it was meant to be.

Your local Audi dealer sells a double ended wire which can be put into the fuse panel in the back... cut this mid way and you have two ends that can be stuck in the back of the fuse panel, so you can use a regular fuse in the panel. I've done this both for my amp and dash cam.

Let me say. Best review of a product. This is refreshing to see gives hope for RU-vid

Audi did the reverse, screwing the mechanics with their unbelievably hard-to-do maintenance, requiring the removal of the intake for a simple oil change, while rewarding sound installation professionals like yourself with an amp behind a pocket, how glorious

Five Star drinking game: do a shot every time you hear, "go ahead" or "went ahead".😜 Another beauty install. Love your work!

I bought this 10" Sub/Amp combo for my work truck. It wasn't bad but I'm an old Bass Head so although it was okay it just wasn't enough deep, low bass for me. Now I've replaced it with a single 12" Skar EVL & Amp. Wish I had done this from the beginning. I'm getting some really loud n low Bass and I'm so much happier with my sound. I got the single 12" enclosure because I still need room in my trunk and it's placed on the back drivers side seat so that way I can fold down the double seat & still have plenty of room for cargo.

If you think about it, that's a great location for the battery!

This is probably one of the best looking pre-made subwoofer enclosures and setups there is. I also like how they do the RCA's. This is how they do it with the small PBR amplifiers I believe too. Great job guys simple and efficient.

The P300 12 is dope but after rockin out for 3 months I need more base

I'm going for this setup! Thanks for the video!

In the audi @ 3:00 when your talking about the bass response from the speakers audi as it by default that the front speakers get only after 50% of the bass that the rear gets and the most is from the deck mounted sub in the back.

20 years plus 12v experience luckily

Or u can just replace the factory sub with a shallow mount & run an aftermarket amp without sacrificing any trunk space at all if you don't want the box there at all. Options are mostly always available.

I’ve been looking into these boxes for some time now. Haven’t really seen too many actually being showcased just the installation. Hows the bass output on these? Capable of shaking the rear view mirror?

Dean and Fernando for the win!! Professional!

Fortunately for me my A4 didn’t have the b&o set up and the bass out off the factory subwoofer was full range bass not cutoff at all. Avoiding an lc2

Liked for "ball bag" but i'm immature

Fernando is my spirit animal

Good video man, got a 2018 f-150 and the front speakers are putting more bass than the rear. Planning a small system for it under my back seat. Thanks

Bass knob look and location is kinda meh... But thats just me, Im sure you did the best way possible. As always liked the video.

Thanks for showing the bass knob :P

Wish you also did an after market head unit on this car...

If you run into a b&o set up Audi an lc 2i is a must as the b&o amps are crosses over

Any chance you can do more 2014 Ford Fusion SE. I like to know how to go about doing a sub and amplifiers and how to tap into the factory head unit. Would I be able to use LC2i??? And to you reset the factory radio once you take out the SD card?? Any information is helpful

Hello,I have a question, when you are using the high level input,the connector has 4 wires correct? But I see you only had a red and black wire hooked up to it? Could you explain how to wire it?

I have a similar system with factory premium audio with subwoofer. I need some extra bass so I installed extra amplifier with 12" subwoofer but I tapped to the high level output from the subwoofer of the factory wire. Why you connect to the factory full range audio wire instead? My way the factory radio has some control of the bass output.

Crazy germans and the battery location

Hi guys is the hurricane affecting you I hope you all be safe

Good jobs doing the right thing, and taking pride in your install. I was charged for $800 install labor.. not including parts.. and the shops absolutely did a donkey nasty job

Wow amazing video. So detailed. I’m actually doing the exact same install for my cousin (2017 Audi A4 with Rockford PS300-10). Quick question…what colored signal wires did you use to connect to the sub? Did you just disconnect from oem sub and re-connect to new sub? Thanks again for the great vid and response.

FYSA.....Audizine.com has a complete breakdown of the modern Audi Audio systems....including wiring schematics and other points of interest of you run into another Audi system.....it will help take out a lot of the guess work lol!!!

How much difference is there in the sound between the p300-12 and the p300-12t? I have a two door extended cab Ranger and technically either would fit. Is the extra space worth it for the non-T model?

I would like to see you guys make a fiberglass enclosure in that In that other compartment. That 10 would be perfect...

I had some Memphis m1000 D installed in my truck an it keeps going in to protection mode an blowing the fuses

And a good old fashioned signal sensing line out converter should be fine

Do you guys ever have a situation where just replacing a factory sub with an aftermarket one is an option? I mean keeping the box and the amp, just replacing the driver. Should be doable if you can match the impedance and find a driver that works with the size of the box. In theory. Does that ever happen?

Great job! I'm going to do the same set up my A5. Just one question. Is there a reason to run the remote turn on wire instead of just setting the amp to signal sense? Thanks in advance!

How much does the "Truck" box effect the sound? p300-12T vs p300-12?

I noticed that in the last few videos you are precrimping all your ferrules, how come the method change? Thanks

did you remove the subwoofer from the rear deck ?

See Ya!

Awesome, can you share what you found on that harness? That would be awesome. Schematic/diagram or the like.

For those of us that have the bang & olufsen system and the factory subwoofer in our Audi (B8), could we just tap into the stock sub instead of grabbing the signal from that harness? Also do you think removing the factory sub will increase bass into the cabin? ALSO... same setup but what do you think about just replacing that stock subwoofer with an aftermarket and keeping all the wiring as is??

Clean install... Very Clean....👍🏻

An Audi... not an inny! Lol. That’s my line man! Haha

why did you guys use the nav tv zen-v? its new and works really well. unless he doesnt want to upgrade the whole thing down the road.

I need you guys to work on my 2014 Chevy Silverado i install a 15” but I get light dem I normally run 8” woofer w at least 600rms max but I want to go big this time. Help me

Awesome, clean, informative! What else can I ask for? Oh, can ya install one in mine!?

I have a 2012 Hyundai Genesis with the Lexicon Audio system. I have an electrical diagram of the amp and know where is the amp located. On this video you never showed how you tapped into the amp to get the High level input. That's the part I need the most. Is there anyway you could help?

The T also has a 20-200 frequency response vs 35-200 for the non T, does this make any difference?

11:25 gain all the way down?? the gain is not a volume knob it should be set to the output voltage of the source.

Do you have a video on a c300 coupe or just c300 2017 or up

Can you power this with a fuse tap? 20 Amps.

the mmi unit has "subwoofer" control for the factory sub - could you tell me how you think I could just tap into that without having to run the controller that it comes with?

Nice job. If I were the customer I would certainly put a better amp and a speakers upgrade along with a better radio... but as always the budget may tell you that's not gonna happen...

You forgot to mount the sub box, it’s going to move all over when he drives.

I have the same car what if I unplug the sub speaker wire and use that directly on this rockford fosgate?

I like the 12 inch. I want one in my Dodge challenger (side mounted)

Is there any difference between using the remote turn on wire (+12V) vs audio signal turn on for any amplifier/LOC?

Hi from Argentina 🇦🇷 which one do you prefer or recomend, this Rockford 300 or the Jbl Bass Pro go? Thanks and regards

I wish they had better and more choices for spare tire area active subs

So how much are them 300 boxes Rockfordfosgate.

Nice job

Think wire s were brown and yellow.... I think

I feel like Fernando’s accent is slowly going away

you said ball bag..haha

As always good jobs,, greetings ✌️🤘🤘

U r totally awesome sir

Do you think the p300-12 is enough bass for a 2019 camaro or is it worth it to go with the stronger p500-12? I am also thinking about two rockford p1 12s.

I heard what you said about the gain at 11:15 or so, but is there a way to set the gain like you would a regular amp? If you go through an lc2i is there a good gain set procedure?

Which speaker did you tap into? Do front speakers give off more bass ?

Is there a preference on the turn on?? Is one better than the others?

I would have took the factory sub out so that more sound could come thru.but thats just me.

That is spooky: i was just shopping around for one of these today for my single cab Canyon 💀

i'm looking at doing this to my 2007 honda civic. any tips?

I have an unrelated question. I have a 1973 Karmann Ghia with a Alpine 301 player/ receiver. I would like to add google maps and possible steaming music. Fabricating a screen holding device to add a second screen is something I can do as i ca work in metal, wood, and plastic. My phone screen is smaller than i would like as are most phones. Any suggestions for devices to integrate with the 301? I really don't want to syart over. I still prefer cd over copressed streaming. as i'm old

You guys ever try those spare tire subwoofers? Heard people talking about them on reddit, never seen anything like it, no idea how good or bad they sound.

I own exactly the same sub on my 2023 Audi A4. The sound is just got worse. Boomy without any punch.

What kind of soldering wire do u use?

Can u make a video of installing 2 together

What size loom did you use?

What speaker did you use for high level input to signal on the subwoofer?

00:34😂

...Right Fernando? Not right! Said Fernando never...

Yeah Baby!!! Dean lol

Put one 10" sub with a big azz port and let him figure the rest out. Unplug and plug

ball bag sorry i laughed out loud at that .. i such a little kid sometimes

Why wouldnt you just replace cars factory sub?

What kind of jerk customers would bring you their cars and leave all their junk in it?

I never pull out

Wow, if your battery located in the spare compartment, where do you put the donut.

I bought the P300 10T for my F-150 and will install it soon. My question is can I use a different bass control knob? I don't like the one that came with it (it's like the one in this video) because it definitely looks "added-on". RF sells this one (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019FBE2MQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that can be disassembled and mounted in the dash and would look much more factory-like. I have a harness for the head unit that provides RCA's for the sub...will this knob controller work since it uses RCA's (and can just discard the 1/8" stereo jack control knob that came with it)? Thanks.

No !If you want base you need space!

Dean can I ask for some advice? Want upgrade my speakers an would like a sub aswell I've got mk7.5 golf 3door I'm in uk an over here we got dynaudio as a upgrade think I looked on web and yous got fender audio as upgrade. I didnt get the dynaudio audio upgrade lol any advice would b much appreciated 👍

that's a lottery ticket type install there.
