BAHHHHWell it has been entirely way too long genvibe!When we last left off the amp wasn't working and I was down on confidence and patience. Then life happened. I got sick, school started to catch up with me and time just slipped away. I eventually returned my amp but couldn't get a replacement unti...

I just realized how ****ty quality these pictures are...POS camera.

Here is a picture of where I have it ground, it looks like its not touching metal but it is. And the connections from left to right are, ground, power, remote, speaker and RCA. I will get a multi-meter and test tomorrow the connections on the amp.Is this a good guide to troubleshoot?http://www.youtu...

Here is a copy of the useless information I received while talking online to sony's tech support:Quote »Jerry_ > Hi Garrett. Welcome to Sony Online Support. I'm Jerry. Please allow me a moment to review your concern.garrett > Okay it is a little vague. I'm not certain if the model number I entered ...

No fuses are blown. I'll check if disconnecting the sub keeps it on, I've also double checked I'm using the remote and I'll check to jump it if that is the last thing I can do. Any chance my battery isn't strong enough w/ the other amp already connected to it? Or do I need a relay?

*heavy sigh* So i've installed the amp and sub and it the install went perfect. There were no hiccups and it seemed weird that for the first time everything was going right...until it came time to turn it on. The amp has a blue LED that turns on when I turn the car on but it turns off a second or tw...

Update: Apparently the harness came out of my HU a little bit and this was leading to the buzzing. But it's all good now. Just waiting on the amp and sub. Will post with pictures once I get them installed.

Hey sublime, I've already made my box for the back, i got a shallow sub so it wont be a problem and i can still get to the spare easily. I am waiting for the sub and amp to come in. While waiting I wanted to run the cables so all I would have to do is plug in the amp and sub when they arrive. I only...

Quote, originally posted by SlammedNiss »Dibs on the M&T sub panel. :-)Ahh sorry but I couldn't find a harness to bypass the stock amp so what I am doing now is leaving the existing sub and amp as is and just adding another amp to power the sub I'm installing. If I can get my hands on the harne...

If I were to remove the racks and the white plugs under the caps and bondo/paint over them, would it look okay? What I mean to ask is, are no caps okay looking? Does anyone have pictures of theirs (or someone they know)? pls and ty

UPDATE:Just picked up my MDF board. My hinge idea isn't going to work because of the gap so I will be doing what you did (sort of). Also have my amp installation kit, I'll be putting that in tomorrow and the amp and sub should be here next tues./thurs. when hopefully I'll have the enclosure and wiri...

My only concern with using the stock amp is that a) can it draw enough power to put in an aftermarket sub? If so what kind of watt/ohm can it support w/out thermal crashesb) when I upgraded my HU i lost control to turn up the sub, i can turn up the bass but it's not exclusive to the rear sub. Instea...

Can't wait to see how this turns out!If you have the '05 vibe M&T how'd you manage to bypass the amp?I'd like to replace mine (see my thread) so I'm looking for advice heh

PS: I've been lurking here for the past month so I've read up on alot of threads but w/ how Vibe's vary from year to year not alot has been said on the '05 M&T package and I reeealllly want a good foundation when going into this project.

Hey everybody, first post here :D.I got my '05 vibe back in HS and have loved every second behind it. After starting my junior year of college I'm now interested in tweaking some things. My to-do list:Upgrade HU: DONERemove/Upgrade stock amp: DONERemove/Upgrade existing 6.5" sub: DONE*IF you wa...
