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.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
