yo - superdoopercooper... some comments for you..... I hope you find them helpful...

Why do you want to triple your subs? Are you lacking sound quality that you desire - or you just want to produce more "boom boom"...??

First - my opinion - prolly not. You are likely to burn up your amp if you wire the subs incorrectly. IMHO - you would get more big and better sound with higher quiality components. Seems you are outgrowing pioneer

(not a bad thing)....

Secondly, if you plan on running 1000+ watts HELL YES. You will want an additional battery, a battery isolator - and maybe even a CAP to help with instantaneous power demand. You will need to upgrade your altinator to have the amperage requred to run the additional gear. You run the audio off the "spare" battery - the isolator will help you with that. In this configuration - you can run the battery dead in the parking lot - but still start the care normally (very desireable)....

Third - your amp is a 1/2/3 channel amp. This means you can run 1 speaker MONO. 2 Speakers STERO, or you can run 2 speakers STERO and SIMULTANEOUSLY run a SUB.

I cannot answer the wiring question until you list the resistance of the new subs you will be buying... this will make a BIG difference.

If the subs are 4 Ohm, you can run them in parallel safely (6 Ohms)... BUT, if the are 2 Ohm subs, you will burn up your amp if you wire parallel (3 Ohms and your amp is only stable to four)....

So - if the subs are 4 Ohm, you cant mess up. Hook all the positive wires together, and connect them to the positive lead of the amp, hook all the negative wires together, and connect them to the negative lead of the amp. This will connect 3 4Ohm subs safely to a 4 Ohm stable amp.

If the subs are 2 Ohm, you will need to SERIES 2, then parallel the 3rd. This will not sound balanced (the series subs will be lower volume at the same power)... This is not optimal but will keep your amp from burnging up.

Speaker 1 Positive lead to amp, negative lead to positive of Speaker 2, negative lead of Speaker 2 to negative lead on AMP. Speaker 3 hooks up normally (positive lead to postive amp, negative lead to negative on AMP)...

WHEW..... you hit a lot of topics... hope this book helped some LOL

Check the stereo owners manual...there should be a wiring diagram in it...

Firstly, is this a good move? Secondly, will I need to alter my electrical wiring to accomodate for more power? Thirdly, my current amp is aPioneer GMX952 (click to see). Now I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but I believe it can distribute 200W of power to each sub when connected to two subs, and mine says it's 2-channel bridgable or something....so if I have three speakers, what should I do?

And FINALLY, with the bigger stereo system, should I get any sort of supplimentary power source, or is this system not 'powerful' enough to consume that much energy?(currently I'm running on a single car battery for everything).

Thanks!

You can never go wrong with adding capaciters!!!

BS?
i can't say, i don't know jack.

speaking of jacks
any knowledge on putting in an ipod docking bay with the existing wiring structure of a straight stock 2006 accord vp?
any help appreciated..
thanks

VP means value package...but he is taking you for a fool...you can do it yourself for about $20.00...just by some wires at your favorite auto parts store or stereo shop...remove the seats and carpet and run them yourself...

Yeah but you have to change the brackets, rotors and rims...

How do you remove the radio from a Honda S2000

k so i got a manual transmission 96 accord EX 4 dr, 4cyl 2.2L, and i was wondering if there was any websites that you know of that i could get a wiring diagram from to instal my remote start / alarm system on it....it's got that 2 way comunication thing on it that shows on the FOB if the doors are locked or unlocked or if my car is running or not.......but yea, if you could help me out with that, that would be awesome...i've tried looking for hours and i couldn't find anything

I sell some strange OEM Japanese tools that some guys really like for installing issues(removing panels etc.) You can check out the KTC tool section at thetoolnetwork.com. If you like it refer to this post and you'l get a courtesy bonus- tool inventory book and sample drill bit.. not much but like to help out forum users...

got an 05 accord ex coupe that didn't come with nav and I was told that model didn't come with it, how can I add it without getting a tom tom or garmin

BMX- Don't think remote start on a stick is a good option. Most new cars come with programming to tell the car not to start until the clutch has been pressed. Adding remote start will override that, which means an ECU reflash. But the reason that programming is there in teh first place is so you don't try to start the car while it's in gear. Forget to take it out of gear even once and remote start it...you get the idea.
