Cool Christian Music with a Thump...for under $135.00

So this is the amp FG P200-2, bridged for 200w going to a FG 12" P1 in a 15x15x11" box wrapped in dark gray sub. material. All that's needed now is a 40a fuse w/holder and 4ga wire for power.
Does anybody here know were I can find 12v trigger wire for the OEM head? Need this for the amp and I was hoping someone has already done this mod thanks for any and all help. I havn't done any of this stuff since 1988, but I really like the Fit and still make'n her fit me! and it's FUN..........
Found this 1 farad R.F. and will help with our alt. and battery.(looks like an energy drink can LOL, but I guess I'm not to far off cuz MzFiT will need so mo energy!

you want to install the amp and sub to the OEM head unit. (i actually did that last weekned) its pretty simple just takes a little time to make everything tucked under the panels and stuff, you are going to need:
Amp
Sub
Sub box
Speaker wire
Power wire kit(includes Power wire with fuse, RCA cable, ground wire and remote cable)
-it can be picked up at walmart for about 20-25$ depends how much power you want
Quick Splices
and you will need:
Scosche LOC80 2-channel line output converter at Crutchfield.com
that will be used to splice into one of the rear speaker wires.

it took a little while with my friend helping me. i wanted everything perfect.

Mine is the real deal i was told. But mine did not come with mesh behind it. I need to paint that part black and get some mesh for the back of it and the lower grill to protect the AC condinsender

I love that front lip. Only reason i wouldn't get one is I'd be afraid to screw it up. Is it fiberglass?

Grill looks good just get in there with a paint brush and some flat black paint.

Drove mine to work after three days of not touching it. I was in Bacolod City over the weekend, down south on Negros island.
