Subwoofer and Amp mount ideas?

[Longshot270]

Yeah thats what I do. Whenever I get together with a group of people out side I crank up the stereo. But so that I dont kill my truck battery I have a marine/RV deep cycle battery. It actually has more amps than the regular battery so it'll last longer and louder. You should also check the Hz that it is tuned for. The higher frequencies tend to produce less heat while still having good sound.

yeah when i need a new battery I will get a really good one like that. I brought my sub into the place where I bought it, and it blew... so they are replacing it under warranty , but it will take a few weeks to get here :/, but I did get a security system/remote start system ordered as well as some nerf bars. So once the sub gets back, and I get all those installed, my truck will be pretty sweet! oh and I put a backup camera in too!

Yeah I installed a remote starter in my truck and its pretty sweet, especially when its cold, have yet to try it when its hot. Only gotten over 80 a few times down here.

There are isolater systems that use 2 batteries. One for the stereo and another for the engine starter and basic systems and the stereo battery doesn't kick on until the engine is putting out the 14 volts.

I actually got my speaker amp because the owner thought it was blown. Turns out the fuse was only burnt and so it hadn't worked in over 5 years. FYI, the amp is so old the line was discontinued in 1994 and this thing is still working nicely.

haha that is a great way to get an amp!, I got both of mine for $100 each because they are B-stock, only 1 problem so far with those, but the place i bought it from replaced it for free because it happened only like 2-3 months after I bought it.
I want to get an isolator like that because Ive noticed my lights dim a little when the sound is up, but ive only noticed it when the engine is running slow, like less than 1500 rpm's. When i do get the underdrive pulleys I will for sure have to increase the Idle speed so I dont drain my battery!
And I cant wait for my remote started to be installed, that will be great in summer and winter! and we get pretty harsh for both of those! lol

I was going to buy an isolater but when I went to a custom audio place they just said they would rig something like that (in other words they didn't have a clue what I was talking about).

The remote starter is actually pretty easy to do as long as you take your time and get the connections right. I actually thought it was fun. Showed it off to some friends and I'll be putting one in a friend's chevy and making a race style start system for a friend's car.

...yeah we get pretty harsh winters over here too. I remember three times where the temperatures were in the 20's.

ooh 20... sounds like a brisk fall to me... and I am having a pro install the alarm/remote start system... I would rather have the warranty and stuff that comes with that
