Brandon's 2001 Toyota Celica GTS
 
    
          Details of the InstallationI started off by mouting the Sony subwoofers in a prefabricated box along with speaker grilles made by JL Audio. I used gold-plated connectors and 10 gauge wire to wire the subs' terminals to the terminals on the box. I then utilized the line level to RCA adapter by wiring it to the output of the rear speakers. I split this RCA output with two Y-connectors, and ran them to the two amplifiers. I used Lightning audio 4 gauge power wire, a Rockford Fosgate fused distribution block and an ANL style fuse holder with a 100 amp fuse. After Installing that, I wired the Rockford Fosgate 160.2 amplifier to the six factory speakers, and the Lanzar amp to the two Sony X-Plod subs. |
