Def saving this video keeping the stock touchscreen in my 05 DeVille so it's good to know i can hook the line output to the sub wires only difference is im getting the dual 10evl not the 12
I also have that same caddy..I went with kicker 12s an kicker door speakers hits pretty good..think about changing that deck..even sounds better when you can adjust the frequencies thru a aftermarket deck for the subs an add door speakers..sounds real good nice touch with the bass knob in the ashtray
Congrats on doing the job. Love the bass knob in the ash try, gives it a personal touch. Keep him reading up on it, fine tune the audio, look into sound dampening. Maybe he can make it into a business, fun way to make money and make people happy.
@@outofthetoolboxtinkerso i have a 03 caddy and same subs and everything but my voltage is going down into the 12s did you upgrade your alternator or anything my amp is also getting pretty warm did you have this happen to you?
@@outofthetoolboxtinker did you also do the big three like bigger wires for the amp because no one was made a video on it and ive been trying to find someone who has
Looks great! Next time though make sure the 12V power wire fuse is always closest to the battery. With the fuse being at the back next to the amp, that means all the wire between the fuse and the battery is unprotected. If that length of power wire ever gets a short, there is nothing protecting it and it will burn!
@@outofthetoolboxtinker - fuse should always be no more than 1ft away if possible. And that's only because it needs to be mounted somewhere in the engine bay as soon as the wire comes off the battery post 👍🏼
Why didnt you just grab 12v off the cigarette lighter? Put that fuse closer to the battery and cut that powerline to the correct size. You're going to burn your car down. Swap out the line level converter for a kicker one and set the low pass filter to 80-100 hz.
Pretty straight forward I have the same car I just bought it myself for 2800! Mines red and has 90k miles but I should just need to run a power cable from under the seat find a ground tap into the old wires from the stock subwoofer and ad my own amp?
I did something like you did but I'm not getting no signal to the converter the brown wire is the positive and the white is the negative the amp powers up but no sound what am I doing wrong
Please don't use a self tapping screw for ground, they tend to work themselves loose and you end up with a really bad connection. instead put your amp ground wire together with one of the factory ground screws! much better. Other than that, install looking good! Skar audio is great stuff! Thumbs way up!
Wow this was a really really bad install! You used a self taping screw?!? Do you relalize there are many ground points you could’ve used from trunk to under the back seat.
Everything is great except for that awful exhaust system. It's a luxury car not a muscle car. The exhaust ruins the whole luxury aspect of the Caddy. There's nothings like a quiet luxury car creeping by and all you hear is vocals and slap in the trunk.
I agree with you. I've always thought the same thing about my sts. I've seen allot of people straight pipe them but i just never saw the point of it since its a luxury car. Although i do have to say that it does make the car sound kinda nice, and in a way these cars are muscle cars.
Just seeing this 2 years later.lol. only thing was missing was big 3 And a marine battery in the trunk❤
You need to do the "Big 3" next and you'll be banging for years to come

Where did you get the Wiring harness for the deck?

Just did the exact same set-up in same exact Cadillac.Cool set up.
Me too
I did exactly like you said and now my Caddy is hitting hard just like yours. And it was real simple. Thanks for saving me hundreds!
That's great. Thanks for telling me.

@@commandercornelious4065 yes few months later same thing...my son had to add a battery (energie pr1900 12v ) for it and an upgraded amp .
@@outofthetoolboxtinker did you also do the big three like bigger wires for the amp because no one was made a video on it and ive been trying to find someone who has
@@commandercornelious4065 not sure. He had a shop do the small battery. I think most or all wires same
Idk why yall made a caddy sound like a drag car but that setup is nice af!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing subs held back line output converter...

Thank you. I realized I left a couple feet of unnecessary wire, so I could trim that out. How close to the battery should the fuse be?
@@outofthetoolboxtinker - fuse should always be no more than 1ft away if possible. And that's only because it needs to be mounted somewhere in the engine bay as soon as the wire comes off the battery post 👍🏼
I got the same subs, man they slam! So glad i got these.

In life do what makes you feel good and what you like especially when you pay for it!!!!!!Good job on system…
The neighbors love us😂😂💚
Thanks for the video.
About to start this on an 02 SLS.
Great build I ran with L7’s and boy they run everyone out on 5
Damn those speakers. What under that hood? Cam sound a little different.....

Sounds good man! just got me a 2010 DTS looking to put some subwoofers in. I'm looking at skar evl 12 and skar zvx 12
I did something like you did but I'm not getting no signal to the converter the brown wire is the positive and the white is the negative the amp powers up but no sound what am I doing wrong
Nice setup 🔊🔊
You connect of subwoofers wire on 1 and 3 in the amplifier bro ??
Is there going to be more demos? I have to 12's and an RF1200 in my 04'.
Seems just as easy as doing it in a car without a factory sub just a different process
My 05 deville limited hits harder and I’m only pushing 1k watts on a single 15 in kerf ported box.
Get rid of that Felony Forest on the rear view. Cops love seeing those.
Tegra and Bunny like the cars that go BOOM!
They certainly did.. not certain they do any more
These kids today don’t know about the cars, the cars that go boom!!!
You should've put the fuse closer to the battery
Yes. I've been thinking about taking out three feet of that extra cable that's not needed
@@outofthetoolboxtinker yeah idk what putting the fuse very close to the battery does but all I know is that it's safer to do that in some way
Please don't use a self tapping screw for ground, they tend to work themselves loose and you end up with a really bad connection. instead put your amp ground wire together with one of the factory ground screws! much better.

Hey thanks for that suggestion.
@@outofthetoolboxtinker no problems! I love helping out whenever I can!
I got some SKAR 15s. That shit beats the hell outta my trunk
Amp settings??
is the alternator stock? how many amps does it put out?
As far as I have heard 1200 watts is about the most you want to push with a stock alternator installed.
What gauge speaker wire are you using?
Not sure. Came with the kit.
im pretty sure its 20
Wow this was a really really bad install! You used a self taping screw?!? Do you relalize there are many ground points you could’ve used from trunk to under the back seat.
I have the same car 2005 deville and subs

bro it's old as hell nothing luxury let him be happy
@@huntaaa4 Is it a sports car???? No it's in the luxury class!!!! Loud pipes and luxury cars don't mix IN MY OPINION!!!!!!! He's very happy!!!
Think it sounds pretty damn good system and exhaust
@@erikoroscoe1051 unless it’s a sts-v or cts v it shouldn’t have them lol
