Hey guys, resurrecting this old thread with a couple questions. I'm about to install a sub and amp. I am doing all the wiring and install myself. Is there any benefit to running your ground directly to the battery, or is it just as good to mount somewhere close to the amp, on the back wall for example like someone in this thread did?
Do any of you recall what length of cable is required from the battery to the back wall of an screw? I have a 1500 watt inverter I'd like to mount next to the sub for occasional use. Im thinking i'll go with 4AWG.

Ok great that makes things easy. What's the best way to splice into the rear speaker wires? I'm using an LC2i since the PAC isn't compatible with my truck. I know some people use those T clamp things but they aren't the most reliable from what I've read.

Unless you want to cut the wires and splice into them, the T-Taps are pretty much the only way. Ive never seen one fail but it might be a good idea to put them someplace easily accessible. Ill be using them this spring when I get into my build

I'm interested in seeing what it looks like with the screen.

With the new alpine unit, doesn't it have Bluetooth calling, and come with the kit to make all the steering wheel controls work? If so, then isn't that all was sync does anyway? What else do you use the sync for...I just use mine for the ipod and to make phone calls. I do like the looks of that headunit but no way am I spending that much money on a radio.
On the other side, I love my fox box. I have mine loaded with 2 alpine type S's and it slams.

just joined the site, bought a 2010 FX4 4 door i think you all call it a screw. trying to transfer my stereo equipment over from my other vehicle. my box will not work in truck. i have been trying to get the dimensions by looking at the fox web site and measuring under the back seat. would you happen to know the width and depth, and the height at the back and front. from my guesstimation . its 54'' wide 12'' deep and back height 5'' and front height 12'' is this close?

thanks, i figured out why the speakers are so close together, checking the bottom of the seat there is a 22'' section that the fabric can be pushed up a couple of inches. i will play with it this weekend. i have to get rid of my Lincoln LS sat. gonna miss her. but i cant afford both.
