I started to look around Guam for my next modification today. I ran to my local car audio store and I was almost ready to buy a big system. I took a breath and asked myself what I really wanted from my Jeep. I need some good bass with the top off but I dont need to beat down the block. I just wanted some good bass to fill the stock stereo on the cheap. It needed to be steath and I needed 300 watts RMS to make me happy based on previous sound systems. I have had systems poted, big, and powerful. I have been there before and I know a good ported sub at 300 rms will give me more than enough to crank it up.
So I chose the 100 dollar Skar RP-350.1D and a 2 small subs. More on the subs later. This is a work in progress. Today I installed the amp. More to come.
Disconnect footwell light and wire loom screw next to it. Keep the hardware, you will reuse the screw mount for the light.
Pull back the front passenger wheel well liner to install the power wire. You will need to cut the large rubber grommet in the footwell. Feed a wire grabber tool through the hole and attach the wire. Pull it through.
Install all the connections to the amp. Do this first or you wont be able to reach the wires behind the amp once its installed under the dash.
I used my dewalt to hold the amp in place while I lined up the screws. I used plastic spacers I had laying around to space the amp off the motor. Also you will need a longer screw here. I used some hardware I had laying around. Just a longer plastic self taping screw.
Jeep gave us lots of grounds to the chassis. Use the third one down to install the ground wire.
In the back of the amp. Reinstall the screw that held the light in using this for the rear amp screw.
You will need to remove the screw holding the fan motor in on the front and align the amp with the hole there. This will only work with the SKAR RP-350.1D Watt amp. The holes lined up perfectly.
Run the wire to the back to power a 3 or 400 watt subwoofer.
Remount the light to the screw hold that was holding the wiring. Reinstall panels.
