Car Audio Wiring - Dual Amplifier and DSP Install

When installing a car audio system it is critical that the wiring for the installation is done correctly and in a robust way so that the system will be reliable and perform well. In this video I do all the wiring needed for installing two amplifiers, component and coaxial speakers, and a digital signal processor, all of which gets its signal from the retained factory radio. I cover wiring paths, using tesa tape, how to tap into a radio for the OEM signal and more!

This would be the reason why I spent thousands of dollars paying someone else to install my stereos. This is pretty complicated and takes an incredible amount of precision, patience and attention to detail.

I wish you lived close to me ! I would so have you install a system in my car ! You do all your work the right way no short cuts and that's the best thing to me . I would do my own but I have a bad left shoulder and the last system I installed was in a Suburban and it about kill me to install it . It came out clean like your work but I was in pain for two weeks after that build . I love your builds because that's how I would do mine ! 100%

"Random crap holding tray". 100% 👌🏻😆

After watching Doug work on installing door speakers for a month. Glad you're back bro

[kyledearing]

Hey Mark,
I love your videos and they have inspired, and helped, me to build things I never thought I would be able to build. I have watched your videos on DSP's and am still a little confused about them. I would love to see a video that goes in depth on all the features and how to properly install one. And possibly a few different ways of installing one because it sounds like there is numerous different was of using these things.

[danterusso]

Thank you! For those of us don't do this for a living, it was nice to see the process. Well done!

[markphilpot]

You have a way of explaining things so it doesn’t come across as condescending. That is rare in a world where arrogance is the order of the day and the my 💩 doesn’t smell bad in any direction seems to be the norm for “some” involved in this profession. Consider it a compliment that you are not in the later of these two categories! Rock on guy!🤘😀😁

[QuantumMind]

Using those wire ferrules really take the wiring game to a whole new level! Excellent work and great tips, thanks!

[kristopherburkholder]

top notch install!! the only thing I would like to add is that most vehicles come with a appropriate size ground cable to handle the needs of the vehicle . with that said if your going to have an additional load on the positive side, you should upgrade the negative lead or rather add an additional ground lead the same gauge as your power lead to the amps but from the negative battery post to the to the factory grounding point. doing this helps the amps run slightly cooler and helps with light Flickering with bass .. thats my two cents for what its worth...

[southtown]

not to be a "grammar nazi" I fail at times as well... the difference between "run" and "ran" is driving me insane! Keep up the great videos and informative content!

[joevasquez]

Video was great, but would have liked to have seen more detail on what fuses you used, how you hooked up the dsp and what size fuse used on dsp. I am working on a 2019 Indian chieftain. Much different and it many videos out there. Any chance you can do an install on a 2019 or newer Indian would be appreciated. Thanks for all these videos

[danielpartida]

I'm curios why you didn't cut the speaker wires from the back of the head unit and only tapped into them? is it because you ran new speaker wires to all the speakers?

[zxr]

I would like to see a full how to on setting up the DM-810.

[psementalist]

Mark I'm so excited and extremely happy to see your YouTube videos much love and respect for you brother. Excellent video footage I'm so excited to see more of this build-up as it progress along.

[BRADPTC]

Why not run power wire on the same side as battery? I get don't run on same side as rcas but seems costly not to just switch side, plus It would keep less wire out of engine bay.

[mndlessdrwer]

This build will be super useful for me if I ever feel like adding additional amplification to my car, as the stock amplifier is tied into much more of the system functions than it should reasonably be, so the easiest thing is to just feed it all into a DSP to secure clean, flat output equalization before it gets fed into secondary amplification where necessary.

[kylegohawks]

haha still using the system analyser I used 15 yrs ago. I thought it was old school then. cool seeing audio control still kicking. I still have a epic150 from its debut. it was a nice little add then

[joebeezy]

Amazing! I literally just bought the AudioControl DM-810 and 3 amps…came on here to see what I can find to help me and I couldn’t be happier!

[UltraCon]

I'm installing a mono D class and a 4 channel AB amplifier in my jeep renegade using the factory radio. I can't afford a DSP or a LOC so I wanted to use my high line inputs.
Q. Can I hookup both amps using the same speaker wires from the head unit?

[BassMent]

Would you mind showing a few things. Can you show how you mounted the bottom of the amp rack to the jeep. I have a jeep and plan on doing this. Also can you show how you mourned the crossovers and your ground point. Thanks for all of your videos.
