I don't want some body to be able to play with the remote and end up with fried sub .
Thanks

I'll admit on one of my old setups, the remote bass **** used to save me from sound violations. The cops used to write tickets for too loud of bass all the time down here. Drive by a cop and just cut the bass quick.
To the OP, Im not sure how the change holder comes out, but that would be a nice setup if you could mount your remote **** in there cleanly.
Good luck, and be sure to post pics once completed,

yea I dont have a coin holder since I have a 4x4 but that would be a nice place for those that do. I have been thinking bout in the ash tray or in the center console pr under the dash maybe. Im not sure about mounting it in a permanent spot somewhere on the dash in case I sell the truck and take out the stereo.

Buy a decent headunit and you'll be fine. Set your amps to when it sounds best about a little less than half volume on the H/U, at least that's what I always do, anyone else could chime in how they set theirs. And then fine tune it all from your H/U and it will sound great on low volume and **** will hit the fan when it's cranked up.
