[QUOTE="FRESH, post: 2438809, member: 300968"] I recently purchased some new audio components for my 2008 Subaru Impreza and intend to install them myself this weekend. I was just looking for some guidance and tips on what I'll need to complete this task. Here's what I'm installing: -Pioneer DIN head unit (this should fit perfectly without a harness by the looks) -1200W RMS Amplifier -3500W (1000W RMS) Pioneer 12" Subwoofer (I'll have to make sure not to over power with the amp) -Sealed box for the subwoofer (I've been told to go ported but I was looking for better sound quality and trying to save some space) -I have a package that includes the following: 1. 17 ft. of 4 Gauge blue power cable 2. 3 ft. 4 Gauge black ground cable 3. 17 ft. Neon blue series RCA cable 4. 16 ft. of Speaker wire 5. 17 ft. of 18 Gauge blue remote turn-on wire 6. 6 ft. of Split loom tubing 7. 1 AGU Fuse Holder 8. 60 AGU Fuse 9. All Necessary Hardware for Installation I will be putting the subwoofer and amp in my trunk. So some general aspects I'm looking for help with are as follows: -What cables will I need to complete the installation? -Where is the best/easiest place to conceal the cables? -What adjustments will I need to make to the amp so I don't over power the subwoofer? -I want to avoid damaging my car as much as possible so, how should I mount the amp and secure the subwoofer? -Anything else you can think of [/QUOTE]
