[ryanbooth]

i have just bought a http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/500W-AUNA-ACT...nment_GPS_Car_Speakers_PP?hash=item35a5f0ed3d and how would i wire it in to my ripspeed CMR-2000 and what cables would i need and do i need to strip any cables or is it plug and play

You are going to need a fused 15 amp supply and matching earth.

Then run your remote and bass lines to it.

Don't know why it has two pairs of speaker in attachments.

Hi ryan and rallycinq.Would you not be best off with one of these kit's?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-AMP-AMPLIFIER-KIT-WIRING-AUDIO-SOUND-SPEAKER-CABLE_W0QQitemZ250495281472QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Terminals_Cabling_ET?hash=item3a52aea940

Maybe the speaker attachments are for an additional subwoofer.

I think I've worked out that the speaker ins are for people who don't have line outs on their head units.

The unit has its own crossover.

could i just run a rca from stereo to bass tube or will that not work or is it better to ground and all the other wires

 

[rallycinq]

You need the signal leads (RCAs) to get the sound there, but it won't make any noise without power.

So, yes, you'll need to put power to it and take it away (supply and earth) and you'll need to be able to switch it on and off, so it won't flatten your battery overnight, hence the remote lead.

No shortcuts I'm afraid.

kk so that amp kit on ebay in the link before will work

 

[jip0]

it will work but you need to get a wiring kit aswell

you will need to take apower supply from the battrey

make a grounding point best place is to drill a whole in the spare tyre bay sand away any paint to bare metal crimp a ring connector to the earth and screw down and put some vasaline to stop rusting

then rca and remote lead to your head unit

tadaa one working bass tube

what head unit do you have?

 

[ryanbooth]

ripspeed CMR-2000

 

[jip0]

okay i cant seem to find much info on that headunit but i think it has 1 preout wich means you will be able to connect your amp up no problems

 

[ryanbooth]

cool so there will be 1 cableso what cable do i need to connect it it bass tube cause bass tube has 2 in so do i need a 1 to 2 cable or sumet

 

[jip0]

you need an rca cable wich is one cable but has two plugs on each end for left and right, plug the corresponding colour into each port on both headunit and amp

 

[volxstu]

Huh Try and get some pics for us in the morning. An RCA cable will have 2 connections an L and R. Then you have + for battery - for ground and then rem which go's on the blue wire of the HU and switches the amp on when the HU turns on.

 

[ryanbooth]

my freind bought a stereo and it had a pre sub out but it was a single green cable if mine has one of these how do i split it to rca and the images of the back of the bass tube are on this link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230417296701&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

 

[jip0]

can you get us a picture of the back of your head unit please?

 

[volxstu]

I think ripspeed will have 2 RCA's so one full set. If not then just type Y splitter into ebay.
