Ok, so this is my wifes car. It came with the base audio system, which im sure you all know is terrible, and i installed a new head unit, new speakers, and a boss audio 8" slim subwoofer amp combo thing.
Well... the Amp/Sub burned up pretty fast, lasted maybe 5 months. so i found an old 2ch 600w Kenwood amp my brother gave me and took the sub out of the Boss Audio. i built a small custom box to put the sub in and connected it to the kenwood amp. this lasted about a week before the wiring burned up.
i didnt solder new wires onto the sub, instead i spliced 16g wire into what looked to be 20-22g wire on the sub. im sure the wire couldnt handle the power from the sub.
i just ordered her a new Pioneer TS-SW841D 8" Slim "free air" sub (2.5" mounting depth) and planned on cutting a hole in rear firewall so that it is hidden behind the rear panel.
Here's what i need to know.
1. Where is the best place to cut the panel so im not interfering with the other side to the trunk? the box i built isn't quite small enough and presses on the trim panel.
2. Is it possible to wire the rear 3" speakers (i actually installed 3.5" Coaxial alpines) to the amp along with the sub to more sound/bass out of them? or is this going to burn up the speakers?
Thanks for any help i can get.
