What needs to be done to use your ready made wire harness and SWC that I have ordered from Crutchfield along with the Kenwood? I am installing an older 45 watt per channel 80 max two-channel amp in the back of my year-old car and running an 8-gauge wire for it.
My question is: do I need also need an 8-gauge fuse holder at the battery connection? I have one, but it is huge. And since the amplifier only requires a amp fuse, it looks like overkill.
A 10 or gauge fuse holder would fit in the space near the battery better. But always a but! I don't want to choke down the 8-gauge wire at the very beginning of the ft run. I am using the 8-gauge to future proof the install in case I need to install a newer, more powerful amp at some point.
Head has 2 line out Jack's, amp has 4 line ins. I'm trying to run 4 speakers from the amp. I tried splitters but the out put is weak. It's a jensen xda94rb amp, the control app is worthless.

I found this bike to be a real challenge to mount the Escort radar detector. I wanted it semi concealed and mostly out of the rain. But easily removable and able to be seen from a riding position. Using a piece od scrap metal, I made a little shelf off to the left of the dash panel and drilling one hole and using a piece of double sided mounting tape I installed it as shown:. Using heavy duty Hook and Loop fastener, the radar detector is easily removed for security and to use in other vehicles.
The Amplirider headphone stereo amplifier system was installed under the left fairing. There is lots of room under the left and right side fairing of this bike. Read all about the Amplirider here:.

My phone also is my MP3 player with hundreds of songs stored in its memory. I needed a place to charge the phone and my rear top case has electrical connections to charge my laptop while on the road.
My job affords me the luxury of being able to work from the road as long as I have internet access and cell service. I fabricated a little bracket that mounted to the left of the instrument panel for the front socket. And a simple cord with lighter jack runs under the seat to the rear of the bike. This cord runs directly to the battery, through its own fuse so I can use it for a high current draw compressor if needed.
This bike has to be the easiest to attach a tank bag. I will stand behind this amplifier be happy to repair it at no charge should anything ever go wrong.
Because of this, not only does the amp make music louder, but it provides a more full frequency response - delivering deeper, more powerful bass and cleaner high frequencies to your headphones or speakers. Additional circuitry reduces both alternator, and electronic ignition noise.
A unique feature to the AmpliRider is the remote volume controller. This gives you the ability to adjust your listening level from an easy to reach spot while you are riding.
You can keep the main portion of the amp safely stored in another location for a cleaner look, to deter theft, and weather protection. Very strong, weather resistant ABS enclosures protect the amp's circuitry and volume controller. The main amplifier body measures 2. The volume control box measures 1.
Screw terminals allow easy removal of the power cords, whose length you may decide to modify. You may plug in up to three input devices.
