Sorry guys, but I didn't get any answers in the audio forum.

I need to know the best place to install this amp (A Kicker 700.5) in a wagon. Not going to use a subwoofer at this time, just bought it used for some more juice for my Alpine speakers. I'll probably go with a professional install, but any advice in advance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Shoot...I can install it for u. Its pretty easy. Most shops will do a decent job but they'll charge u about $100.

 

Did you mean an install location in the car or a shop to do the install?

If you're looking for a spot in the car, I had my Helix 5 channel amp under the driver seat when I had my WRX wagon. It just barely fit.

 

Thanks for the advice, guys. At this point, I'm seriously considering just selling it and getting a smaller amp. Much appreciated!

 

mine is mounted on the sub box, using a bolt in the trunk as a ground. works fine. incredibly easy to do. you can also use a bolt from one of your seats to do it if you want it closer up towards the front of the car.

Speaking of stereo, can car audio subwoofer work on computer?

 

if you decide to check out a professional shop, check out Audio Sports in Folsom.

 

So $100 is about average for a sub and amp install? I'll be getting my old sub and amp from my Saturn, but wasn't sure if it's worth the trouble to install it myself or have a pro do it.

Also, since I have the premium sound system, does the "subwoofer" under the seat need to be disconnected when I hook up my own sub?

 

I went and installed basically every possible speaker component you can into my STI(high's/mids/lows/subs/Deck) It was a PITA(basically rewiring the entire thing lol), but that being said would I pay 100 dollars to have someone install it? Hell no. Definately wasn't a difficult install. Not to mention I installed alot more wires then just an amp/sub... You can probably find a friend who is very capable of doing it, and it will only cost a 6 pack of beer


Since then I have removed all the speakers and went back to the factory parts... no point having a system in a car that is basically only ever driven on a track haha
