Hey guys, i just recieved a 15" pioneer subwoofer in box and big amp. The problem is, i have no idea where to plug what? Im a beginner at wiring things together such as subs n amps and i get real impatient trying to figure it out myself... :rofl:

So i was just wondering if anybody would be kind enough to give me simple instructions on where to plug what and anything i need to do to get it working good, before i do something wrong that could possibly damage it!

So any help would be much appreciated... :D

Here's some pics that may help understand my situation...

yeah, searching (and not just SAU) is probably a good way to learn the basics.

Briefly though... RCA cables out of Head Unit, into "line in" or whatever of the amp. (always power off when doing this). Speaker wire comes out of speaker terminals of the amp, and into the speaker terminals of the sub. Search for "bridging" incase you want more beef out of the amp.

For power, red goes to positive on battery (B+), preferably with an inline fuse, and black is an earth or ground (GND) cable, best to run to the chassis, as short a cable as possible, onto a really clean metal surface.

Remote (REM) wire must come from the "remote" output of your Head Unit, and run to the "remote" input of the amp. This tells the amp to turn on when the head unit is on.

Oh, and those RCA cable are pretty crummy, and you don't need the yellow one (a colour usually reserved for video signals). Buy 5m or so of just stereo RCA cable, good quality.... and for power you'll need another 6m of thick red wire.

I've put this really simply, just to give you a rough image, but if you're going to do it yourself, definately read up a bit on audio/power.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
