[rsctan]

any one who can teach or post a diagram of how to wire your ice?

 

[g88]

what you wanna connect ? Pls provide details

 

[khguan]

u need to state wat component u have then only we can help u mah...

 

[haslam]

i want to know how to connect my LCD and XBox together......got both of them already but still dunno how to...some say must use DC-AC converter....

 

[rsctan]

i got 2 component sets..front and back...4 channel for both components...a 2 channel for my single sub...and i have an 3 way equilizer too

 

[ExtremeRC]

Okie..need more info:

1. Which HU are u using and how many preout?
2. Are u using a parametric equalizer? If so, what are the inputs and outputs available? (such as front, rear, sub)

Errr..i would assume you have 2 four channel amplifier to drive each set of component ?

If not then just direct the crossover's front and rear high-pass to each channel to the single unit of 4 channel amplifier....

hope this help. :)

How to wire up your ICE.

1. Get power cables, 8 gauge min recommended
2. Get a fusebox and a distributon block
3. Pull cable from Battery to fusebox, not more than 18" away from batt terminal
4. Pull cable to whereever you wanna mount ur amps. Hook to distri block.
5. Pull wire from distri block to amp +.
6. pull amp - to a point o solder to the chassis. Seatbelt points, screws are not good. Sand off the paint on the chassis and solder there. Fenders etc are not counted. Best is under rear seat.

Now you have installed ur amp.

THen u need the remote turn on cable. Pull it from ur HU to the amp REM input.

SO now ur amp turns on.

Part 2 later on when I am free

drexchan,
nexttime you wanna install your ICE can get me do it for you :lol:...but my a McD will do :P

xtorm
He also never say want active or passive.

Btw xtorm and Bert, is my diagram correct ? Just need reconfirmation since you both true ICE sifu mah...:D

 

[xtorm]

aiks....bert is sifu

me is lau gu...kakakkakaa

correctlahh if not i will not know it is active rite? :D

btw, he mention 4 channel for 4 speaker d...

yeah...i reliase that upon i finished the drawing :lol: ...that why i also stated there if use ONE 4 channel then just use each channel to whack one side component
if passive before comp set put a passive crossover right ? B)

 

[xtorm]

yep...u r sifu alsomahh....y ask like tat 1?

g88... your diagram is correct...

adding to Bert's comment, the power cable from bat ---> fuse block ---> distribution block; it is best that you cover the cable. Simple way is to cover the cable all the way with pvc tape or if you lagi rajin (since DIY) you can use flexi which is much more appropiate.

try your best to route the cable at their own lanes. for example (lets say your battery is on the driver side which is right):
Power cable (+ve frm bat), remote wires (fr. HU, amp, other equiptments) are routed on the right side of the car.
RCAs are routed on the center of the car.
Speaker cables are routed on the left side of the car.

this is so that there will not be spider webs underneath yer carpet and lowering the noise production (wee-wee aeroplane).

also approximately every 6", cable tie these cables and tape it down so it won't runaway.

happy DIY ;)

i got a very very basic stuff and think of how to make it...

assuming i got an Alpine HU, an Amp (not sure is 2 or 4 channel), got a 4 way 6x9 speaker, a 5" mid bass and a pair of tweeter... how to make it to give the best performance?...

There you go...if you using 2 channel amp then just use the head unit to drive the 5" Mid bass

g88,

both are correct depending on how the person wants to setup their system...

As for connection an X-box etc.. there may be 12V adapaters for the xbox which then you wont need to get a DC-AC converter. most of these converters go to 110V so u will still need to get a 110V adapter.

Also another important ting when wiring your ice is to disconnect your battery before starting. you dont want to cause any shorts right? And also double check your wiring before connecting back the battery.;
