Stereo upgrade

[johnh442]

How did your terra acoustic speakers turn out?

I have them, the look good and very clear even at full volume. Noticable over stock.

Also have added DS18 sound bar, and HS10 Kicker Subwoofer in place of the factory Alpine crap subwoofer.. there's a good thread on here about the install. The HS10 really kicks... its almost shameful to call the Apline Factory Subwoofer a subwoofer -- its complete trash.... its the worst subwoofer I've ever heard (the one in my 2013 RAM is way better for instance, or my son's 21 JLU is way better).

I ended up installing both the Terra Acoustics Soundstage Upgrade as well as the Kicker 10” Hideaway subwoofer. I couldn’t be happier.

I've been having the hardest time getting my powered subwoofer to ground properly.

Where did you ground off to?

There's a ground post under the passenger seat. That's where I ground mine.

Did you have to cut out carpet to get to that grounding post?

Any concerns on having a grounding wire running that length? I always heard to have it less than 2ft or so.

Unbolt the seat, disconnect a wiring harness, and lift the carpet out of the way. I have no idea where you heard the 20" ground rule. FWIW, Crutchfield customer service told me about the ground. I placed my powered sub behind passenger rear seat like pic above. Keep in mind it's grounded to the aluminum chassis and you might need to sand down to bare aluminum in order to ground. It worked for me and not an issue. Other than that the ideal ground is to the negative post of battery or the ground point right next to the battery which is WAY longer than 20 inches.
