Full Sound System Install - Help Needed! [2007 Bf Mkii Xr6]

[Hagi3l]

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and was wondering if someone with experience could help me out.

I have a few things I am planning on doing to my 2007 BF XR6:

1. Install an aftermarket head unit (I have purchased this: JVC Mechless Bluetooth/iPod/MP3 Player) (I have also bought this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/260737641682)

2. Replace all factory speakers (I have purchased this: Fusion 6" 2 Way Speakers (Note: I have bought the converter and not sure if I should buy another pair of these or the same brand but factory sized speakers)

3. Install a subwoofer and amplifier (It is a sub and amp combo: Economy Active 12" Subwoofer) (Needs 10 gauge wire)

Could someone people help me out in terms of how I should go abouts connecting the headunit. I have been searching and searching all day tbh. Then some information/guide on how it all connects and works :/

Many thanks!!! (Merry Christmas)

You're going to have to be more specific, are you wanting to try and incorporate it to the factory headunit? If not then you get your power/earth/accessories from the column, alot of people take it from the cigarette lighter but its better to take it from the ignition and put your own inline fuse in. But if your asking for help on how to do this, you're better off getting someone else to do it

Also, falcons take 5x7's so you'll need adaptors if your intending to run the 6" speakers

Aaand don't run 10g for your sub you'll want to upgrade trust me and when you do you'll have to rip the whole cable out. Use 4gauge

8 gauge should be fine.

Yeah currently but when you wanna upgrade you're limited to around 400wrms for your entire system if the amps are in the boot. May as well just go 4g with the small difference in price and it's totally future proof unless you wanna run like 2000wrms
