Fyi to all you Jeep jl and jt owners or there (at least until MY 2023, i can speak on the 2024 it later vehicles) the PAC Amp Pro module works on the non factory amplified vehicles, there is a do switch you adjust to indicate what you have). I am very pleased with this product. And it was a breeze to install myself.
Great video guys! Hilarious co-host, by the way. I really appreciate the comparison as I have been trying to decide the best route to go for my 2023 Bronco Raptor. It would seem the AmpPro is the way to go!
Ask and you shall Receive !! Its like you were just talking to only me . This is the best explanation I could of hoped for.Im convinced that the Amp pro is my best course of action to upgrade my Harmon Kardon System .

2018 GMC K1500 Sierra SLT... If you use the AmpPro and the low level outs to an amp... why would you still need a T harness to tap into high level signal?
Great informative video. I have a 2017 Dodge Charger with the alpine system and I really don’t like the alpine system. I have a Jl audio xd400/4 to power my mids and highs and I’m using the amp pro kit. I need some guidance on making my high sound extra crispy. What frequency should I set my amp pro to?
used one in a 2016 Focus RS about a year ago. worth it's weight in gold! aftermarket HU is not possible in those cars. but got all the aftermarket expatiation possibilities.
You have any way to cross reference just the Bose plug shapes? I just need a T harness but they never list a Mazda 6 with Bose so I'm trying to figure out which vehicles could've also used my amp type from Bose so I can integrate into my OEM stuff. Thanks for your time
So I have a question.. I have a Bose system in my 2007 Chevy Suburban. I want to add 2 6k crescendo amplifiers, and a JP234. The thing is I want to retain my factory system so when my GF and Daughter use the truck they don't have to mess with the rest of my system. I'm adding 4 15" Resilient sound onyx subs, 4 titanium tweeters, and 4 8" mids. I want to run a switch to Turn off my LC7I Pro so the added equipment doesn't run. What would I need to tie my LC7I Pro into my Bose system?
What if I don't have a factory amp and going with a lc7i is a cheaper option to hook up an aftermarket amp? Would you still recommend I go with PAC amppro?
If course “the company” would they are like $400 Go with lc2i or lc7i Cars are made so fn cheap these days in all honesty you’ll have to upgrade everything to get “good sound” but then road noise just screws you’ If just adding a sub just go with a cheap loc don’t spend $200 +
Great video...I still have not seen the aftermarket amp to speaker connections. This came close with the PAC T harness but I am still confused. I installed an LC7i in my Sony F150...mistake. I now have the amp pro and need to know if I t connect at the radio, which I already did for the LC7i, or at the factory amp? Please help,thanks guys.
Thanks for this. The bass roll off on the GM Bose system is brutal it just kills the low end output as volume increases. If you tap the factory amp while adding a subwoofer your wasting your time. It would be great if you guys could show that EQ in action, IE: play some pink noise on the GM Bose system and watch as the bass just disappears. Just the fact that you don’t have to cut any wires makes these OEM low level adapters worth the extra $$$
That would cost the manufacturers more money. It may only be cents, possibly a dollar or two per car, but when you consider scale that to the millions on vehicle they produce, you can see where I'm going. But yes, I do agree that it would be nice.
What a great explanation. I have a 2018 camaro zl1, i purchased the amp pro, Best Buy will not install it and insist that I need an audio control Lc71 instead. Sounds like the Amp pro is the way to go and actually does more than the Audio control. Guess i need to find another installer, wish you were in the maryland area, thx!!
What’s the T-harness for? Is it necessary for all installation? I’ll be installing a 5 channel amp, a front component set and a coax in the rear in my 2016 4Runner w/ the JBL system. Will I need a T-harness?
Thanks for video cool stuff metro makes one like this also when I asked them a simple question they had no idea what I was asking so I’ll ask you when you plug that amp pro in since it’s between radio and factory amp does it require you to buy a amp for every single channel in other words does it turn off the pen signals tweeters mid center I have 10 channel pen system all I want is a subwoofer out if I use this will it shut all other channels off meaning can I install this keep all my own sound on and just use the subwoofer pre out on the amp pro?
My 2018 Chevrolet impala premier has the Bose system my question is would the AmpPro be a Good product to use for my system, I don't want to lose any functionality of my vehicle
Great info as always. Now if only the manufacturers weren't charging $400 for an amp pro. Guess I'll keep using my trusty LC8 until I can save enough pennies for the PAC Amp Pro. Its hard to find the APH GM02 T Harness online. Any recommended websites.
I really appreciate this video. 👍✌. @1:25, when you compare the 9v vs the 2.43 v, is the signal the same? If u were to lower the hi level signal from 9v to 2v, would it be the same as a low level signal? Can a low level rca power a speaker?
@@craigshelhammer5683 thanks man, but i meant if it could directly power a speaker, at least theoretically. I was trying to understand if it is the same as a speaker level output. I wanted to feed a ktp445a a low level input, but i was afraid of blowing up something.
@@carlosreset7501 ah I see,sorry about that...I wouldnt do that as the sound would be low,and probably not great quality I would think..it would be getting about 1/8th the power the other speakers get(if not less)
The whole point of the Amp Pro is to not only convert the output of your high level from your radio to Low Level , but to do it without introducing noise and give a flat frequency response to the converted output. Then you can feed that signal (front , rear , sub) to the Aftermarket Amp of your choice.
@@mopard2565 i understand amp pros and hi to low level converters. I was asking a general question about hi and low level signals. The ktp 445a only has hi level input but i was trying to do something for a customer where i could use active processing to filter the channels. The original 445 had a hi and low level gain switch, but not the new version. The 445u actually uses the same input wires by cutting off the rca ends to use speaker level input, but then you have to switch to speaker level input. What does the switch actually do for the signal? The guy already said he'll buy a new amp, but it made me wonder what actually is the difference with the signal. Thanks
My 2018 Chevy Malibu with 8 inch touchscreen without bose has a factory amp in the trunk. Will this amppro work with my car? Like I said it's the 8 inch touchscreen non Bose.
I have the GM61 in a 17 Camaro with the bose amp running to a AC D-6.1200. I am having so many issues with the RCA's and noise. I have gone from under the glovebox to the rear on both driver and passenger side with 4 sets for cables (from cheaper monoprice to the $200 stinger 9000 ones). Engine whine, headlights and even hitting the breaks. Is there a way to mount the amppro in the back next to the Bose amp?
Five star car stereo, I have a 2018 Ram 2500 w/ the 10 speaker Alpine factory setup. I’m looking to upgrade the subs and the Mids eventually. My question is which do you think is better for the Ram, The amppro4 or the fosgate DSR-1? Any info would be appreciated.
So, I have bought really budget 4 channel bridgable amplifier from pioneer has maximum power of 1000 watts but gives 60w @ 4ohm per channel and bridge power of 190w RMS @ 4ohm. My question is I have pioneer speakers installed that takes power of 100 rms @ 4ohms I want to ask that Is it a good idea to connect speakers in bridge mode in order to fulfill speaker requirements.
Hey guys, great video as always! Any idea if the Pac Audio AP4-TY13 would work in a 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE with JBL crap, I mean premium system? This premium system is giving me a headache but you guys have given me hope!
I'm working on my 17 tacoma with factory jbl system. Cut into my factory harness to try to make the lc7i work but definitely was a huge mistake. Got the harness repaired. Now. If I go the pac ap4-ty12 would I still have to run the lc7i. Or is it 1 or the other?
If Amppro makes an interface that fits my stock stereo, in my case ap4-ch41, but the car doesn't have the AMP, is it still possible to get a flat signal from the amppro without the added amp? I remember you mentioning the secret on Dip switch 3, would this apply?
great video can you do one with the amp pro hooked up to a laptop adjusting the eq curve to see if it helps I heard these have almost a mini dsp inside them minus the time correction ? Is this True?
Dean: I hope you can help me because PAC doesn't have an answer save for "Well, it's supposed to work"... The AmpPRO in my '16 Charger isn't putting out a full signal. All channels are still crossed over with the factory outputs (lows to doors and mids to rear deck). PAC customer service has gone over my entire setup with me on the phone (for hours) including receiving remote access to my laptop to look at my JL Audio Twk 88 settings. Thay can not explain why I am having this issue. Do you have any ideas? I have it set up just as you did the '16 Challenger you did--dash tweeters running off factory amp and the AmpPRO running all six outputs into my DSP. Thanks in advance!
Member the good ole days when you could actually add an aftermarket radio’ Throw in an amp run the wires and call it a day’ Not now…. Now it’ll cost you 1k plus dollars to get an “entry” level system trying To override all the crap the manufactures think is “premium”

Can you just not add a aftermarket head unit?? And run RCAs completely to the unit? This is for cars that you can't change the headunit on
so if I install an amp pro and an aftermarket amp with sub/center/front and rear there is no reason for the factory amp correct?
