Hi I am ready to install my new system tommorow. It consists of the following:
1) Pioneer - 12" 800W Single-Voice-Coil 4-Ohm Subwoofer - Black/Blue
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1134702499042

2)Pioneer GM7200M 800 Watt Mono Power Amplifier
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...id=05733369000

3) q logic 12 inch vented/sealed sub box from Best Buy

4)Monster amp wiring kit
5)scooche line output converter from walmart

Now my questions are

1) How should i wire the amp to the sub, all seems simple to me but just making sure?

2) I know how to get to the rear of my stock HU, but what wires do I connect the loc to i've used search but no luck.

3) My q logic box came with no speaker wires, but i had to buy some anyways, how do i connect the speaker wire on the inside of the box?

4) Where do i run remote turn on lead to, i hear some people say fuse box, some say hu, which is easier and if specified, where?

Thank You in advanced Please also add anything i should know while installing this thank you

First off, please watch how you set your gain. The RMS of the amp is greater than the sub, so it could shorten the life of the sub if you constantly crank it above it's recommended power handling.

1.) Since it is a single voice coil, you're going to simply run wire from the positive terminal of the amp to the positive terminal of the sub, and negative to negative.

2.)The LOC will connect to the rear speaker wires. I've never done this, as I have an aftermarket HU with pre-outs, so you're going to want to wait for a better answer to this, sorry.

3.)Does the box have a built-in terminal? If it does, it should be somewhat simple to connect.

4.)Depending on what year of car you have, there may be an unused blue wire on the harness of the HU. It should say power antenna or radio or something to that extent (can't remember specifically). Use that, but before you put everything back together, test it to make sure that the amp powers on when playing a CD, not just the radio.

 

thanks zebman, i have an 07 tc, the box has the terminals already, would i need to just clip in the wire, also the sooche adapter has the wires right, i havent opened it up yet.

Important, how do i set the gain is there a ****, i know my sub is ike 150 rms, would there be a **** that goes by rms

 

You're going to need a multimeter. Autozone or Radioshack will have them. Try to get a $10-20 one. This thread explains setting gain pretty well, and there are plenty of people here to help out with questions.

I don't think the LOC has wires, just input for speaker wire, and a RCA output. You're going to need an RCA cable if you don't already. Like I said, you need to figure out how to do this before you buy a certain length RCA cable. Try searching for people with LOCs, and ask them. I'm not too informed on the topic.

As for terminals, it should be a simple clip-on-and-go.

 

i bought the amp used and the owner told me he set the gain around 140-160 watts so im allset, but ima take a pic of the sub box and would hope that sumone tells me how to wire it thanks.

friendly bump... never got that pic?

 

actually found out i was so dumb, i had to attach one of those square connectors on it, like the ones that slide in to a metal piece, thanks
