Reaper lmao you tellin me😂😂
As soon as I saw the wire and the fuse I scrolled down to the comments cause I knew he was getting clowned about that and yep I was right.....but for real if it works for you and it's your vehicle I say go for it not everyone has time and money to make everything look professional!!
duceky1977 where can I connect the remote wire? My cigarette lighter doesn’t turn off, I don’t have a sun roof, and I’m really not sure where to go with it and I don’t like wrapping it around a fuse like that.
@@tylerc3477 just run a wire tap from the cigarette lighter and hook it to a toggle switch that way you can switch the power on and off.
@@tylerc3477 use your fuel pump fuse
It's always something for starters. From what I see you could install your amplifier without HI/Low signal adapter to "high imput" in front of amp. But you did good here anyways. I would strongly not recommend wiring anything to fuses. You can find mostly yellow cabel behind your head unit and measure voltage there. When ignition is on and shows 13.5-14.5V~ and when ignition is off and shows 0V you got the right one from which all car audio amps take start signal normaly. For measurement use multimeter (10$ new one) and measure this yellow wire with black one (usualy) .
thank god for the internet… i swear ive been searching for this video the whole day and I finally came across it!!! thank you so much
No need to run long blue wire from fuse to amp.. Take blue wire from Line output converter and connect directly to amp that’s all you need and share the L.O.C ground wire with ground amp wire and connect to amp. Great video btw
U made my job so much easier now my car bumps it used to just hit now it BUMPS thank u bro u definitely helped me out !! Big thank u
DO NOT EVER "WRAP" YOUR REMOTE WIRE AROUND THE FUSE LIKE THAT!!! spend a couple bucks and buy a low profile fuse tap literally gives you a wire to connect the remote wire to, shoving the bare copper between the fuse and fuse box like that is a horrible suggestion... dont do that
Bro the yelow and blue wires you cut off of that were your renore wires i have the same hi low converter its a scoche from walmart you were suposed to hook yellow and ground up to amp power and ground and then run blue to remote on amp and boom no electrical fire risk
Nikolas Parfitt How is it a fire risk without being powered
You mean boom his battery is dead if he did that. U don't connect ur remote wire to the amp. That literally means it's taking power from the power wire coming from the battery.
Incorrect. The LOC is signal sensing. It only allows transfer of power from the amps battery lead to the remote when the stereo turns on. That's the entire point of the LOC. Everything in this video is wrong. @@thelegendarywasdgamer9724
Anyone watching this...
DO NOT connect your remote wire to a fuse like that!!!!!
They make a fuse that you can piggyback a wire to it. What in the hell did I just see. Damn near 3 inches of bare wire before going into the fuse.
Thank u glad I'm not the only not stupid person hahahaha
AGREED
When I saw that part alone I said "HOLY SHIT"
Yo i just try that and it left my amp on
Everything he did is after the head unit. This is a simple setup thanks to the Loc. If he were changing out the head unit or any of that it wouldn’t matter. It’s just using the existing audio wires to go from a hi pass signal to a low pass signal for the amp. Then he has an on off signal to turn the amp on and off. Very simple. The loc just converts the high pass amplified speaker signal to a low pass line in signal for the amp. Been doing it this way for years in set ups that it can be done in.
Would this fail if I only wired my speaker wires to one side of the back speakers
If you're going to connect the remote wire to a fuse. Connect it to the radio fuse
Never done it but was thinking the same
@FenleySmith lol I have read more of these comments since you responded to me. There's a fuse adapter that can connect to your cars fuse panel and it gives you a duel fuse connection with a wire attached you can use for a remote. Completely removable, doesn't affect any of the cars wiring for warranty and it cheap
Ah dang yes I just looked it up , ima buy one instead of buying a aftermarket stereo 👍👍👍👍
@FenleySmith awesome 👌. Just a FYI if you're going to run multiple amps,lights, any equipment off remote you're able to just make sure your fuse you connect to on the panel is the same. Example if the fuse you attach is 15 then the second fuse can't be higher! ( safety ).... if you need more amps connect to a bigger fuse in the panel, same thing applies. Your welcome bud! You have any other questions let me know. Lol if you want to keep factory head units rca's can be made as well
You were supposed to connect the blue cable from your LOC to the remote on your amp, the yellow cable to the power on the amp and the black cable to the ground on the amp. That way your amp turns on when your car turns on
What if the remote on the back of my Kenwood X502-1 is only an option to be plugged in do you have to hardwire it in to the remote plug it looks like a computer plug? Please help
Thank you!!!!
Can you make a video pls I’ll be down to watch it
There is no power on the amp. Other than the 12v power wire
@@Meded-bi5qd that’s all it needs
Thank you that makes it so much simpler than ripping every thing out.
😂😂😂Make sure you have Full coverage insurance this is a fire hazard
Running this same line out converter. You don’t have to tap in to any fuse. That yellow wire and black wire on the converter is the power and ground wires that you can run into the power and ground on your amp. Have mine that way and it works fine. 👍
Good idea.
Tapping into the fuse is for the remote though to shut them on and off? I hear some people saying you can tap the remote from the loc to the remote on the amp itself but that doesn’t make too much sense to me
What sense does that make? The remote wire is the signal that turns the amp on and off and has nothing to do with the LOC. The remote wire needs to be connected to a source of power that will turn on and off with the car which is why the fuse box is perfect. (I recommend a fuse tap instead of just rapping it around the fuse like that 😅)
In my opinion it’s best to connect the remote wire to the stock radio remote wire.
Can you use the cords that go from red and black into aux to put in-between the sub and amp to run a aux
Dear god; people don’t do anything this video shows you!
Why not?
😂😂😂😂
Mm mm
If it works it works😂 your not gonna start a fire with speaker wire
How about burn out some fuses 😂
You don’t need the remote wire with the converter correct?? No need to run a remote wire when you have the converter tells the amp when to come on right?
Not all converters do
You are great for making this! Thank you!
The only thing that would be an issue is how you wired your remote wire to the fuse! They make a kit for that!
I hooked my remote wire to my 12 volt accessory plug. I used a wire tap no cutting done and I fused it. Works great and it's safe. Only comes on with the key on.
Sorry can I just suggest to connect the remote wire to the radio fuse. it would make it a lot easier
sure, you can suggest that lol.
KFKMF agreed or antenna wire on back of head unit
Please people don't put your remote wire like that please take advice from somebody that's been doing it for 17 years you can melt your fuse box in car
Mark Gomez so where do I put it
Mark Gomez please explain
it kinda hurts me to see 2.4k likes and 1.5k subs on a video that helped over 550k people
p.s i liked ur video
My remote wire has been connected to my radio fuse this way for 5 years now. It has never caused any problems. Ofcourse the wire isn’t that tacky on mine though. The wire was cut just short enough to fit beneath that fuse only.
Ah yes the good ol days of highschool when i watched my buddy's car start on fire as we drove to school from doing this. Lol good times. Hey it still worked.
Why aren't your positive and ground hooked up on the adapter
Im asking the same questions
I have the 4 speaker wires,yellow,black and blue wire on the converter
But I see he dis not connect any of those just the speaker wires
@@osmanbautista1029Because literally everything he did is wrong. Complete hack job and made it more difficult than it needed to be with the remote wire to the fuse panel. This video should be removed before someone fries their electrical system. I'm surprised some people can find their way out of the house in the morning.
@@thomasblake7046yes that true
I found out how it really should be on another video that this other guy did but in spanish. He explained it really good
so if u have an amp for speakers and amp for subwoofers u dont have to remove the head unit at all with a converter?
What if we only have one factory subwoofer in the trunk. Do I need to tap into 2 subs like u did?
I see lots of these people's points with it being a very unproper setup job, but for a first attempt it is decent. Thing is, it works. Looks similar to my first attempt. Over a few days I cleaned mine up, screwed down the amp, ran the remote wire to the radio etc. But, this is much better than paying car toys 200+ for labor. You're not gonna hurt anyone or set anything on fire. These guys are just a bunch of hypocrites, they probably don't even know how to keep their homes tidy.
lmao thanks dude, been over a year and a hald and not a single flame haha
Mvp
What makes this tutorial special is the remote hak job on the fuce box
Just don't expose any loose wire to other fuces and your golden.
Did you have to run power and ground and remote to the line output converter? Or just connect the speaker wires?
All you gotta do is connect the speaker wire to the Left speaker (positive & negative) and right speaker (positive & negative). This is your input signal for your amplifier. The LOC, power, ground and remote switch are then to be connected your amplifier.
Where did you ground the black wire and the red positive wire I’m just curious 😂
Straight From The Still grounded the black to a bolt in the chassis. and ground a positive wire? uhmmm i didn’t that wouldn’t work.
Appreciate it, thank you so much for refreshing my mind. Other video most of them don’t give much useful information…🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
In addition to running speaker wires from the LOC to the car speaker wires, I just realized I ran an additional set on both car speakers and ran them into the speaker terminals on the sub amplifier obviously where the sub speaker wires go into. The sub works and sounds great I just don’t know if there’s any issues to having another set of wires on each side of the car speakers running into the speaker terminals on the sub amplifier
How do you keep the voice from coming out of sub with this adapter I purchased this adapter for my Jeep and I’m getting straight voice out of sub no bass 🤷🏻♂️
You need a low pass filter see if theres one built in to your amp if not you can buy one itll filter out mids and highs
Reminds me of how we did it in the 80s.
Instead of trying to cause a fire. Use a fuse tap. For the remote wire.
what is that
This is the first video that clearly explains how to easily connect an amp to a stock radio using a hi-to - low converter. Thanks
Just read the instructions first, this fella idt he did
My car doesnt have back speakers so how do i connect the amp and subwoofer
I did it through my back door speakers but it’s pretty difficult to do and more of a hassle.
Whats the best parameters for the adjustment knobs on the impedance converter? Is it middle or full turn to the right?
I think it would be better looking at the car manual and see what colors are the positive ignition and ground in the stereo more safe and easier my opinion tho
liked the video, can you show us your racecar bed next lol.
H.S. I absolutely lost it as soon as I saw this comment....ephin A dood...
How did u have remote on. So amp would not stay on all the time?
I belive he tapped into the fuse panel to a switched 12v power source so when the car is off the amp turns off then when he powers the car the amp turns on from the switched 12v he tapped into
Which one is positive and negative between orange and blue. And yellow and brown
So I don’t really need to connect the LOC to a ground, remote, or power, right?
No just the speaker
I used an in-line fuse and it gives it a cleaner look
So the two white and two gray wires connect to left and right speaker ?
So the yellow and black wire on the inline converter doesnt hook up to any thing? Or the blue wire on the converter?
Should use a switch in instead of a fuse. Its way easyer. Turn on if you want bass to turn heads and turn off when your mum and nan is in the car.. on the switch it has ground,live,remote. Test if switch and wires are okay. Have 3 coloured wires. Or any wire, Unconnect the wire from the amp so there no spark while putting it through the car and run the wire from the amp to somewere suitable to turn it off and on, in the pocket switches near key ignition. Its easy to hook up. Warning!! must turn off when not in use. Because it can leave you with a flat battery.
liked the video bro. but do goi have to wire up both rear speakers in order for it to work or could you use jjst 1?
FYI Next time you run a remote wire to the fuse trim some of that exposed wire. That is a positive output if that wire touches ground could cause that wire to heat up depending on what side of the fuse you connected it to. If you can connect it behind the stereo connect it behind the stereo my 2nd option for me is cigarette lighter if it’s not consistent current. I would also consider at least investing in light circuit tester it would help you find a remote wire.
So the remote wire from the l.o.c, does it plug into the remote location into the amp alongside the regular remote wire?
I highly suggest using a fuse tap adapter instead about 1000% safer and will be a better connection you can get one at most any auto store but the sell them at Wal-Mart to it allows you to plug in the fuse like regular but it has a small 3-4 inch wire that comes off the adapter that you use to connect to it without any exposed wire it also looks good!!!

Above is a link to one they sale at Wal-Mart as of 3/30/18. It is currently $7.99 but that's a lot cheaper than what you'll pay if your car catches on fire!!! Lol
If you hook the amp remote wire up to your windshield wiper fuse, it will have power as long as the ignition is on. You don't need to turn on your wipers to make it work! LOL!!! :D They make piggy back fuse holders for this too, plug the fuse holder in and it has a single wire molded into it.
So bassicaly if i use a RCA adaptor like you and wire to factory speakers i don t need to wire the remote wire? it will be ok like that ? thank you, nice video !
My ass was about to pull the whole radio out. Ty lmao
This method was used back in the days when old amps can't receive high voltage through RCA. Now days 90%of amp.. Accepts high voltage through the RCA.. In fact.. Use the higher voltage for sound quality. Read the amp manual and save money.
hey man thanks for sharing this. I was wondering about the same thing. I'm just waiting for the delivery of 5 channel amp, component speakers, co-axial and a sub. I have an 2016 Vauxhall/Opel Insignia so do you think I'll need a line output converter?
@@lislis1989 no.. Line converter is used the old days when amps can't receive higher voltage. Line converter is just step down the voltage from 10 volts for example to 5 volts or less. The higher voltage single carry is the better..
@@fa6151 Thanks for your reply. I decided to buy a 6 channel LOC (model: In Phase SRC6) because apparently, it gives much more sound control, removes bass roll-off and generally improves the sound quality by sending a raw, unprocessed signal to my amplifier. It's true that it's not necessary because Alpine S-A 55V amplifier accepts a high level signal but I've been advised to get a LOC if I want a truly great sound:)
@@lislis1989 watch kicker company when they spoke about high voltage inputs for them amplifiers.. Well brother, if you are really concerned about the sound quality, I do I advise you to clear the problem by changing your head unit.
Did this in my Audi A4 b7, took the signal from the rear door speakers. But now my subs are playing sounds like a normal speaker almost. How do i fix this?
windshield wiper fuse would work fine btw. it's powered by the ignition and that's what you want.
Armed Buckeye maybe in your car, however in mine it is not. i tried the windshield wipers and my amp only turned on when the wipers were active.
I have a dodge dart how would I know what wire is negative and psotve
What a professional install.....
Fuse adapter on the remote wire would help a lot too
Bro I’m with you. I know mechanical side of cars but wiring and everything … it’s like speaking French. Ain’t happening. Hooking shit up was east. Figuring it out because lack of videos with people using LOCs and PACs.
That brand of line out converter has a remote wire hook up on it that was cut off in the video.
so instead of running that remote from amp to a fuse. I can just run it from amp remote to the remote blue wire on the converter??
Alvin No the amp will draw power regardless without a remote wire
Can you help me out ?
I have a rattle of bass as soon as the radio powers off. This sound is bass coming out of the subs
Hey man, what was the reason you ran it like this? Was it because your fuse kept blowing? That’s what’s happing in mine. My 25 fuse connected to the amp keeps popping. But I think it has to do with me hooking my yellow wire up to my positive running to the amp. But I see you actually cut your yellow and black positive on the output converter, and you cut the blue, do I have the same issue as you? Does this mean I don’t need those ones either
Cool video bro bro but can you cut the amp on and off say it's 5 in the morning and you don't want to beat can I turn it off without unplugging something
Does the loc not have remote wire?
Never use bare wires lol especially on a fuse next other fuses
what should I do instead for remote turn on?
Doesn’t matter
@Red I said don’t use bare wire on a fuse next to other fuses they sell stuff for that you put the fuse in an it and your wires are connected to the adapter
they sell fuse taps like 9$ at any auto parts store or Walmart.. thanks for the video
That's how I run all my cars stereo grounds. I'm on car 6 that hasnt burnt down
So the rca are wire with rear speakers correct
Looks like you didn't use the remote wire from the converter to the amps remote turn on or connect the yellow wire to your cars constant 12 volt source. Why did you do it the way you did it? You could have just hooked the converters yellow wire to the amps positive, the black to the amps ground, then the blue/white to the amps remote. No need to run a remote from the front to the rear.
DJ Soundz Entertainment I realize this now. it actually took me a long time to figure out i needed an LOC and by the time i installed the LOC, i had the amp’s remote already tapped into the fuse box. but you’re right, might have to remake this video
DJ Soundz Entertainment so, you are saying if you do it this way to just run the remote wire, 12 volt constant, and ground wire from the LOC to the amp, and that would work?
@@MichaelLammers please remake this video
The wipers and dome lights are 12v switched, key off no juice key on they have power in the fuse box up to the switch , then the circuit from the switch to the wipers is what turns them on , but as soon as the key is on they both do have 12v
The wire on the fuse you only have to wrap around one post and put it back in there do not wrap it around the entire fuse and put it in chance a bit grounding out I wanted the other fuses pretty close to the same way I do it and have been doing it since high school but much safer to just put it on one posted fuse and shove it in with very little wire
You can just run a wire into your remote straight into you power line, but your amp will always be turned on, so if you want to keep unplugging your amp everytime you use it then it will work :p
yeahh lmao fuck that
Easyyyy way to explain. THANKs MEN !!!!
Hi mate with the loc can you just lead of one of the speakers or does it have to be the back two?
im confused so did you splice to wires from the speakers to the amp and connected the converter as well? how did you splice the speakers to the converter to the amp? you didnt mention how you connected your converter to the amp, you kind of did but lack of telling us how you then connected your subs? did you connect the speaker wires to the converter then splice the wires from the converter to the amp? and what about your positive and negitive wires for left and right? you said you tied them together, so are we not using a negitive at all? just positive to both?
How about if you have a factory amp?
Do I have to use the remote, the ground, and the 12v wire on the converter box? Cause I have a 2017 Ford Escape SE and I have them running from the converter box to the amp and my amp is not powering up
Is the blue and yellow positive leads and the Orange and brown the negative leads?
I did the same hook up and when I turn the volume up all the speakers shut off or loses signal amp stays on and radio on but loss of sound what am I doing wrong
Hey bro did you ever find the problem ??
First of all you are going thru with this video instead of taking it to a profesional lmao🤣🤣💀
does this method take into consideration the factory EQ? I have a charger and it controls what speakers receive hi and low frequencies. I'm guessing use the pair that are filtered for L.P.F...?
What if your car has a factory amp and you want to do the same set up that you got going on
how do you know which wire is neutral and which is your hot line in the rear speakers?
Do your front speakers still play right
yes
My boy that’s dangerous af
i said the same shit lmao
What were the specs on all the equipment? Amplifier, stock stereo/ speakers output, line output converter? I’m looking to do the same thing.
Where you put your 12 volt acc?
The ignition is a good spot for the remote cable !
Why didn’t you connect the remote to the converter?
I've got a question? I have New Mercedes-Benz and Don't wanna touch the the radio, Navi, lol on any other car I wouldn't care and have. But this car already has the Bsst 14 speaker Burmester Sound System, doesn't get much better. My worry is I've never tried one of these cheap boxes to tap into my my rear deck speakers, I mean how does one of these compare to using A nice Deck with RCa PREOUTS?
from the fuse box did you gave power input to amp? Im asking this becoz most of the people give it direct from the battery.
on mine, running the remote wire directly from the battery to my amp would’ve kept my amp on 24/7 and drained my battery when the engine wasn’t running.
Does this work on trucks with Bose system
I cant help to say that you sound like the tortoise from finding nemo lol. 😂 But good helping video.
At least you try bro good job
thank fam
What about the ground wire on the LOC?
Just go ahead and jam a rat nest of copper in to your fuse panel and micro fuses work the best must be a Honda thing and y does everyone splice right at the speaker connectors when they do the converters
Thank you. Your tutorial is a BIG help..
Those xplodes are underrated.
How can I hook my illumination/ Dimmer for my aftermarket audio deck in a 1999 GMC Sierra... The wiring harness adapter has a wire on it, but the stock harness doesn't...
Worked for me you are awesome man
I thought I was crazy for using a switch to turn my shit on but this guy is fkn crazy
