Ok, so I need to get 2 10's and an amp mounted into the wifes rx8. I had an appointment to have best buy do it but after 2 1/2 hours of waiting and they hadn't started I bitched out the manager and had the wife leave.
I'd rather pay someone local to do it, I have everything necessary to install, the subs are already mounted in the box so basically just need to run the wire to the battery and head unit.
Looking to get done asap.
Thanks!

do you have a power wire? what gauge and size fuse?
do you have RCA's?

Stock headunit, is RCA and RC converter the same thing(if so then yes)? It's a simple sound system and has a 8 gauge wire kit with fuse(bought as a set) and all necessary wiring. This was hooked up in the TL before and when I upgraded to my JL setup I just took everything out and put a 4 gauge kit in mine.

oh fuck. stock headunit , nevermind. i was gonna say , if its a aftermarket headunit , i can help you out one day and we can get it done in 1 hour , 2 hours tops... but alot of stock headunits require the little box , with the pre-outs for RCA's...and i dont touch that stuff.lol.
i think "96ekhatch" is good wit sound systems if im not mistaken

The guys at best buy said I just need to get their RC converter to do it, i'm just pissed at them and don't want to give them my business. I'll toss cash at someone to do this so hook it up!

I went to the best buy on 41 just north of paige field. I've dealt with Angel the last 3 times and had no problems and they did great work but this time really irritated me. They gave all their attention to some truck because it was a bigger order rather than even giving equal attention to a multiple return customer. It just wasn't good business.
Text me 239.333.8100, i'd really like to get this done tomorrow if possible and if you work at that location please contact me so we can resolve the issue. As I said i'm a loyal customer but being treated like that after giving them repeated business just isn't acceptable.

I'm a Mobile Electronics Installer, I'm in the same bind though. I can lose my job for doing it on the side. The box you need is called a Line Output Converter. i can't remember if the rear speakers are in the rear deck or not, if so grab your speaker output there. If they aren't in the rear deck with easy access, you can catch them in the main harness to the rear of the vehicle. On route to the rear, the speaker lines are most typically twisted together. Although, you'll need a tone generator to text to make sure you have the right speaker lines. I could use the money, been a Installer since early 2000.. just worried about losing my job... :(
