    Decided to take the plunge

    Ordered

    Dayton amp 2.1
    3.5 male to male connector
    Besign loop isolator
    Iot relay

    I have to install
    Kicker speakers(missing adaptors)
    Jbl sub( to be delivered)
    Pinsound cn5 adaptor with polk sub (in my gz- but very tiny sound)

    What am i missing to get the setup complete?

    i saw some people used sex bolts to secure the new cabinet sub...

    what else can i use?

    would just longer 6/32 bolts with original nuts be fine?

    original bolts has some sort of t-nut that goes into the cabinet wood...

    thx for the help.

    Quoted from Spiderpin:

    I too was going to reuse original nuts but I didn't have any longer 6/32, so I went with 8/32 bolts and nuts that I had plenty of. I didn't drill hole any bigger and the 8/32 threaded them self.[quoted image]

    Thx , did the same and it worked perfectly

    This post covers pretty much everything you need to do since you have all of the parts, already.
    If you're not using a powered sub, then you would just run R/L from CN5 on the Spike2 board to the RCA inputs on your Dayton amp, then out to the R/L speakers and sub, making sure to unplug the sub and R/L speakers from CN1 and CN4.

    I also have a powered polk sub

    Do i need to run each bb speaker to left right amp? So all 4 will we plugged in?
    Same thing for cab speaker, run it to left right amp ?

    My cn5 to stereo sub is connected to external polk sub
    My cn5 to stereo line-out is connected to nothing.

    Install done! Challenging, but i made it! Now i need to play with settings.

    Is it just the eq i need to do?

    Im at 8ohm backbox and cab

    As for the ground loop, do i have to connect it right after the dayton amp or at the pinsound cn5 to stero line out?
