3. READ THIS FIRST FOR AN EASY INSTALL MOST IMPORTANT TIPS amp F A Q 1 The threaded holes in the amplifier cavity and under the speaker are used in the molding process and mean nothing for your install 2 If your radio has unused RCA Inputs use them If it has an RCA Sub Input even better If you don t have RCA s and you re going to use actual speaker wires as the inputs That s okay but it is recommended that you use a High to Low adapter so you can still run RCA s into the amplifier for the input signal These little boxes are available at Radio Shack or your local car audio or auto parts store and are usually around 15 3 THE ABSOLUTE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT IN YOUR CAR AUDIO SYSTEM IS THE RADIO Your amplifier s and speakers can only replicate the signal they receive A generic radio simply won t give you a crisp clean signal for which to work with and will seriously inhibit an otherwise great sounding system If you re looking to upgrade to a better radio get one with two sets of 4 volt or better RCA pre amp outputs AND an RCA Subwoofer pre amp output 4 When you re conducting sound tests on the Intra Pod check your FM sound as well as your CD sound No matter what radio you have they all produce a better signal with a higher dB when playing a CD The exact same song played on FM simply won t sound as good or get as loud that s just the way it is 5 Make sure that you run all wires in a manner where they can r
