- Thanks for checking out Installing Subwoofers in a Jeep SRT! And here is part 1 of the wiring. Technically this is just removing all of the panels to prepare for the wiring, but you can check out part 2 after this video!

I just changed the battery on my 2016 grand Cherokee limited and the passenger seat doesn’t have to come out. If you move it all the way up and forward you have enough space and room to pull the battery up and out it it’s a little awkward lifting angles but it’s definitely doable took me less that 15 min.
Oh sweet, thanks for the tip!
This is the best how to video I think I’ve ever soon!! Soon I’ll be ripping apart my Jeep lol
hahahaha thank you!
Shoutout to you. This install video helped me install a sub into my Durango SRT which is very similar
Awesome, I'm glad I could help out!!
Installed mine the other day bro, 🦛 xl the guys on the FB page said they all had trouble with the tuning when they used a loc and took the signal from the original subwoofer.
I opted to pull my receiver and tap into the harness directly off the head unit. I'm using a lc2i turned out great #dangthangbangs
Yeah I tapped directly into the subwoofer wiring as well, as my factory sub stopped working last year. I had an lc2i previously installed but I found the LOC had a much cleaner signal. But either way, just glad to have it working! What did you install in yours?
@@MaxBeecher same amp as you,lol they're sold out on Amazon, but a massive audio hippo xl122 driver
Ay bro can you help out i installed a lci2 to a 2018 jeep srt with the km factory system i taped in to the sub also in the rear n didnt use the factory sub took it out everything work fine untill i close all the doors and try to drive i get the 2_3 bass beeps frm the subs interfering annoying plz help
@@jtunez355 I don't pull signal from factory sub wiring, I found the color wiring diagram for 14 srt Jeep with HK. Pulled the signal from front door speakers. Sounds like your trying to pull signal after it's factory amplifier from oem sub.
@@paintballworr04 thanx bro so you can pull signal frm back of the head unit i cant find any diagrams that match
So, I just tried this on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee SRT. I took a feed from the factory sub wires as per the video, and used it to power the high-level input (basically in an-built LOC on the amp) on a Sony Xplod 1000W amp. Everything was working great in the garage, really good bass. However, when I went for a test drive, I was getting very loud random bass notes that would last for 2-3 secs. Even with the volume turned down completely on the stereo. Seems a few others have had this issue as well performing similar setups and have attributed it to the Active Noise Cancelling system in the SRTs. Interested to know if you have experienced similar? Seems the guidance is to use an after-market PAC harness and avoid tapping into the speaker wiring to avoid this type of issue.

I did not run into this issue, but again, I used a separate LOC than what comes in the amp. I've heard others using the harness you mentioned before, but using a separate LOC saved about $150 and I got the same result.
thank you very much this video helps alot now i know the back panel pops out after you pull the clip out and pop out the panel change the amp or subwoofer i was wondering where was that located
You're welcome!
@@MaxBeecher i had added kicker amp for my 2 channel for the intera speakers tell me why when the green light is on it get hot. after 30 min game playing but now my push start don't work in jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 2012 i have re program the key
If all I want to do is replace the Sub itself, do I still need to remove the whole spare tire tray or can I just pop the side panel off more easily?
Unfortunately you still need to remove the tray as it locks the side in
Did you have to disconnect battery before taking out the passenger seat?
Is that the jl loc 22 converter getting ready to do the installation on a 2014 jeep Cherokee sport
Yes it is!
Did you wire your LOC to the battery or are you piggy backing from another 12v source?
I was piggy backing off of the 12v charger in the back of the car
Nice Video,
I got a question you grab the Signal from the Factory Subwoofer But there is a low and high pass Filter for the Factory sub how Deep goes this Signal i would like to have Some low Bass on the new Subwoofer will it works?
sorry for My Bad english
Greetings from Germany
Hey! So the factory subwoofer is a dual voice coil, meaning all 4 wires are low. I hooked all 4 from the subwoofer up to my line output converter and it works perfectly! The lows are pretty low!!
@@MaxBeecher Thanks for the quick Feedback that Sounds Great.
@@MaxBeecher do u remember which colors on factory sub was for - and + I'm trying to tap into it
@@riquemex1987 I believe that's all in part 2 of this install! Check the next video!
What battery adapter did you use im currently looking to add some bass to my 17 jeep srt
I can't remember, this was so long ago. But these should work: www.skaraudio.com/products/SK-BATTERMS1-0-or-4-and-8-or-10-gauge-battery-terminals
I have a question about the two wires you unplugged at time frame -16:08 in your video, what exactly are those plugs for and what do they give power to? Also your video helped me install my two 12 subs and amp very easily!
Those are hatch sensors! If you leave them unplugged (which I've done) your button to close the hatch will not work!! And I'm glad I was able to help you!!
@@MaxBeecher It also affects the keyless entry.
@@MaxBeecher do I have to leave the hatch sensors unplugged? I would hate to lose that feature
@@mistercleaton5951 you can plug them back in when you out the interior back together
@@MaxBeecher I don't see why your video didn't get a million views if it helps I will post the link in all the wk2 and trackhawk/ SRT Jeep groups on Facebook Keep up the great vids bro!
Hey I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee latitude. Where did you find the best place to drill through the firewall was?
I didn't need to. The battery in my Jeep was located under the passengers seat.
Hey, does it matter if I tap into the positive or negative wire?
Which wires? Subwoofer wires?
Okay question since I’ve watched your newer videos and was able to tap into the back sun with an loc made by metra and had my single sun working with my factory but now after a month or so my front two speakers lost power have any ideas as why? Randomly they’ll cut in when I restart the car but one typically works and the other won’t then they swap
I'm wondering if maybe running the factory sub with an aftermarket amp and sub, is causing more draw on the factory amp (to feed the aftermarket amp), so it's pulling power from the front speakers.
@@MaxBeecher bet & noted sorry for the grammar errors previously but I’ll check my wiring and the fuses and let you know if I find a fix thanks for the info.
@Shiftgog all good brother, keep me posted!
Hey what’s up bro, do we need to disconnect the preamp being that we are installing a amp for the mids and highs ? by the way you have a great TH-cam channel bro.
I never disconnected the preamp, but I also didn't install an amp for the mids and highs, only the subs. You could keep the preamp connected and just do the same process i did here, but using signal from the mids/highs but I think they make wiring kits to remove the preamp, and add your own amps.
@@MaxBeecher see I’m going with an aftermarket radio(radio) I don’t know if that’ll make a difference.
@@Geezygotabag008 if you're going aftermarket, your new radio should already have RCA's in the back of it and you can bypass the factory amp
@@MaxBeecher oh okay I was thinking by adding a amp the speakers would be on the preamp and aftermarket. Thanks for letting me know
Did you ever actually hook it up before you got rid of it?
Oh yeah, played it for a while!!

Hey man, how did you secure the box from sliding in the back of the trunk?
I put I-bolts in either side of the box, and used paracord to attach it to the carseat latches on the back of the seats
@@MaxBeecher thanks for the reply. Good info. I am putting 2 Sundown X v3’ 12s in. How did you mount the amp. I may have a few questions later on the install.
@@DaPainePlane the amp I angled behind the box, and used to screws to mount it to the back of the seats
Where is the factory amplifier located in the Jeep?
Drivers side rear trunk area, pretty much opposite side of the subwoofer.
@@MaxBeecher Thank you
I have this dilema now lc7i or pac pro, you dont have any trouble with sound cancelation? Navigation audio? Reverse sensors?
I had zero issues with any other sounds in the car as the wiring was straight from the subwoofer wiring, so it didn't interfere with chimes or reverse audio.
You take signal straigth from the sub right? I will add a 4ch amp for 2 componds i will need to get signal from the door speakers??
Also you dont have problem with the bass drop down? Like when you turn the volumen on the bass dont start to fade?
@@HectorRodriguez-fe8xz no sir, never had any problems with bass drop!
@@HectorRodriguez-fe8xz and yes, I take signal straight from the subwoofer
I did mine just like on your video but I get noise in all the speakers
I'm sorry for the super late response, did you ever figure out the problem?
Is that a matching spare tire ???
Unfortunately no
Where did you get your remote power from?
Remote power is from the line output converter. Once it recognizes power from the speaker wires, it turns on.
@@MaxBeecher well I have an LC2i
@@tanaisapimp you should be able to splice a remote line off of the rear power accessory charging port in the trunk. There should be a picture of a key on it, which means it only has power when your key is either on accessory or on. I show that in the second video.
So installed a lci2 into a 2018 jeep Cherokee srt with factory HK system i deleted the factory sub took it out powerd lci2 and used the 4 inputs from factory sub im getting interference 2-3 bass notes frm subs with radio on or off it will do this tryn to figur this out again im using a lci2
I hate to say it, but the LoC-22 by JL Audio is the only one I've had good luck with. I did use an LCi2 before and it did have some issues. You might have the gain or input turned up on the LCi2 too high. What is your bass set at on your radio?
@@MaxBeecher everything on the head unit is on halfways normal i havent tried tuning the lc2i the knobs are also half ways diald in i see u did use the jl loc
@@jtunez355 honestly man I'd try turning the bass on the head unit down, and maybe messing with the knobs on the LCi2. There has to be a good way to set them. I had been using one and within a month it had stopped working, but that was in a different vehicle.
@@MaxBeecher thanx for your time man i recently started doin car audio again . Its all guud till sum like this pops up 😂😂😂 thanx really appreciate it
@@jtunez355 let me know if you figure out the problem!!
geez using 0 gauge on that lil setup...everything looks great tho
Lol just wanted to play it safe! But thank you!
can anybody find me a wiring diagram for 2012 srt jeep harman kardon subwoofer the factory sub. i want to connect a line converter don’t know what’s colors fo go what
Are the colors different? I would think the wiring would be the same as the 2014
well honestly i’m just starting with this kind of stuff so i’m not aware what wires im supposed to be looking at.
@@elicarrillo-garcia1911 watch this video, and the part that follows and it should cover everything for you!
what is the width of the cargo area
I believe it was 41"
The first thing you did wrong is not install the PAC Amp Pro. Not sure why people don’t do their research before they install and then make a video so other people will do the wrong thing as well. Guys it’s 2020 there are factory integration pieces for almost every vehicle so you get the best sound quality possible. Do not use line converters anymore!!
I did do research. Didn't really feel like spending $350 for something I can do for $89 myself. I've installed LOC's on several vehicles and have had absolutely zero issues or anyone return to fix anything.
Audio control has excellent loc, i wouldnt say dont use loc's anymore.
Is there a factory amp if so where is the location
Yes there is, it is in the back, on the driver's side. Opposite to the subwoofer.
Thanks
Did you bypass the amp from behind the radio or at the amp
@@bigque1070 I did not bypass the amp, I used the factory subwoofer positives and negatives and connected those directly into my POC
I did the same thing as your video I get noise on all my speakers
Are your wires connected correctly?
Just like The video
@@Burrodmc you shouldn't be having any issues. Have you disconnected it and see if it goes away?
8 gauge wire will run 2000 watts Class D all day.
Was planning on getting bigger equipment in the future but didn't get around to it.
@@MaxBeecher better to have it and not need it than …
