dohc1991integra Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 i finally got my set up...heres wat i got goin on... ROCKFORD FOSGATE PUNCH AMP 12" CROSSFIRE AMP and install kit free rockford fosgate amp ftw!!! my first problem...i went today to get a amp install kit thinkin i need an amp kit for a 300 watt amp(cause the amp says 300x and i thought it was 300watt,stupid me), BUT when i got home i realized that the RF amp has max potential of 600 watt and i bought a kit to handle up to 400 watt...now my first question is, im using the amp JUST for the sub and not for the sub and speakers, so can i use this 400 watt kit anyway? thank yaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 im not 100% sure but i think youll be fine because you wont be running peak power. but wait for someone elses confirmation just be to sure. looks like you have a rim as a guard for the sub. you should get rims to match and cram some pimpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dohc1991integra Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 haha thats sweet. so what profile tire are you running on your sub box? hahaha...the tires just there to hide the bolts, holding the actuall guard on(2 pieces). The guy we bought the sub from said that he would gives us the guards as long as we didnt return them cause they cant sell them...so i was like OOHH YEAH!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLontheDL Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 is the amp 300 rms and 600 peak? If so, then 400 watt is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its not going to work properly at first because of all the swithches and knobs on the amp need to be adjusted and as of now i dont know excactly wat they do but i should be able to figure them out somehow well as a first question...there are two wires i need to run on seperate sides of the car cause of the distortion it creates when they are close...its the power and what other cable? Im going to run the power cable on the right side since my battery is located on the right side of the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 the RC cable. plugs from the back of the deck to the amp, maybe the remote wire as well. i ran all my cables on the same side and didnt have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 the RC cable. plugs from the back of the deck to the amp, maybe the remote wire as well. i ran all my cables on the same side and didnt have problems. You should always run power down the opposite of the vehicle from signal. Just because you didn't have any problems doesn't mean others won't. RCAs and the remote wire should come from the back of the deck. They can be run down the same side, and *many* RCA cables include the remote wire. Power should be run down whichever side of the vehicle the battery is closer to. I did it differently in my Civic because the hole in the firewall I ran my power through was next to my steering column. EDIT: To add, I had Fosgate subs once and they kicked serious ass. Don't know much about their amps, but I'm willing to bet they'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amp RCAs go to the "Front Input"...Sub RCAs go the "Rear Input"( i guess the "Pass Through" is for multiple amps)... Ground wire goes to the plug "GND"...and the Power goes to the plug B+???? plz tell me if all this is right...ASAP...i want out of this heat!!! thanx to all!!!

Joe W Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 REM-> to reviever should be like a blue wire B+-> to your battery GND-> is your ground which should go to some clean metal -+ for wiring your sub(s) RCA-> to receiver inputs It looks like your need to have your -+ and RCA need to match up ie front with front rear with rear. Just choose either one and should be alright. Hope this helps some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc1991integra Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 well since i didnt get imediate responses i decided to go to the RF website and they are helping me as we speak (or type) my first thoughts of where to plug everything in at is correct from ealier in the thread i just need to coneect the REM wire...problem is the amp was given to me and it didnt come with the REM wire so ima try an make my own...if u can help me with that, thats all i need now...hopefully. heres my problem now...tec support on RF site says the REM plugs into RCA jacks in the head unit...but the REM plug in the amp only has one hookup, the RCA plugs are 2 plugs??????? 1 into 2 wont work sonce its + and - how can i make one? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 All you should need is one wire from the spot on the amp that says REM to a wire on your reciever. Is this all thats left? if so just take speaker wire split it all the way so you have 2 wires put one aside (shouldnt need it) connect it to your reciever, should be a blue wire w/white stripe(general color maybe not exact) and to the REM on the amp and you should have thump.
