when hooking this amp to my factory head unit, which is a 2015 wrx base, would I run the wires to the deck, or each speaker? the battery would power?

Please watch multiple youtube videos on how to install a car amp. Your car WILL catch on fire if you fail to install the amp power line and fuse incorrectly. I wish I could expound on this topic, but it is not the right forum to cover how to safely install an amp. I would hate to see your any car burn to the ground and insurance not pay your claim because of you failed to install the amp correctly.

You will need to splice into the speaker wires, which is easiest to do behind the deck. The power must come from the battery, the fuse on the factory stereo is not sufficient. There is a nice wire harness you can buy so that you don't have to cut the factory wires: http://ae64.com/20-pincombinedharness.htm

Hi Joe if u have aftermarket deck just use the 12v output from it. is label as "antenna" blue wire. Or u can use the output call "amp "

If it is out of warranty and your battery is dead you can still have it plugged into power and run the speaker. You would only need the battery if you wanted to run it off the grid.

Probally! It's all about running the amp wiring. You will most likely need an aftermarket deck

I just installed this into my 72 Cadillac Eldorado and works great as a starting battery and gives goo power to my 2500 watt sound system. Definitely do the " big 3 wire upgrade" as well when you can, using a thicker gauge wire (I used 2/0 AWG Welding cable).

Just use a piece of speaker wire. Attach it to the red wire off the supply box(remote box) and run it under the door seams then under the front fender( you mite need a coat hanger). And then just attach it to your battery terminal. Hope this helps :)

I think this 12v is just what type of system (auto) the speaker was designed for. There is absolutely no reason a car speaker cannot run off of a home audio (110AC) receiver just as well as it does off of an auto head unit. You never connect the speaker directly to the power, whether that power is a wall socket or car battery.

Yeah. Just need to have the right wire leads to your amp. Check with a local car audio place cause I couldn't tell ya. Also need to have power to the amp from the battery.

Hi, I think the factory unit will not have enough power to drive the speakers. Maybe you like to consider the JBL Amp which I am using it beautiful and easy to set up. I have the JBL GTO-5EZ maybe for your smart 1 pair of speaker and a GTO3EZ will work perfectly.

No mine is perfectly fine. Must of been installed in properly because the deck is hooked up to your battery in a way. I would talk to the installers who put in your radio.

It's not too much, in my opinion, i think it will be perfect. You could connect ONE of these or have TWO 750.1 amplifiers, but i think it will take too much wiring.Just remember that speakers need their proper box (i would suggest a BIG vented box) and that they also need to be properly connected. And for the amp, just remember not to set the gain all high, but at least 3/4 of the way, make sure you also have a big fared capacitor (you don't want to drain out the car battery) or a second battery, and also make sure it has the proper gauge wires (for the battery, ground, and as well for the speakers) and a fuse.

Its possible that whatever you have them wired to cannot output to 4 Ohms. If you wired them to factory radio, it may only be capable to handle an 8 ohm load. That or if you have them wired to an amp, you may have the gain turned up too much, or if you have more than one speaker wired to each channel on the amp, you might be overloading the amp. Regardless, I wouldnt say it is the speakers, it is the device powering the speakers.

The wires are already crimped with female connectors that fit the male ones on the speakers. The wires are extra long so unless you own a motor home you should be able to run the wires anywhere in a car or truck. If you don't want to cut just coil up the extra where there is room behind a panel or cover.

Sorry for the delayed response. It would be recommened so you don't blow the deck in your car by running them. I have a set of 6 inch speakers for the front and a four way amp/amp kit that I'm selling. If interested let me know. Will sell the whole package for 150 plus shipping. This is what I ran in my car and it sounded great. If you have any issues you can return for a refund.

It is an integrated (speaker + amp + enclosure) unit, so if space/location is not an issue then the physical aspects of install are easier. It does recommend at least an 8 gauge power wire. Unless you have an existing power lead of similar gauge nearby, then you will need to run one direct to the battery. Keep in mind that while you may be able to run the amp with smaller gauge wire, if you operate it at the limits the small gauge wire may overheat and fail/short.

It uses the same battery that is in your automobile. but the sub woofer will also require an amp for a sub to operate efficiently. What are you trying to do--go and talk to a car stereo shop that does installations. Tell them what you are trying to do and they can direct you for your specifics.

I just ran the power wire to the power on the switch then to the battery. It's easy. The system sounds great to. The speakers are really big. They were bigger than I expected when they showed up but they sounded great.
