I love the creativity used in stealth installs. Nice work!
Car Audio Inc Thank you!
Awesome install and a very clean wire setup!
Matt_Proof Thank you!
Great install. The way you do doors is just 😚👌🏼.
John Buckland Thanks, we just try to be thorough.
Such an amazing sound system 👍
The Beige Wonder Ya these are the kind of systems I like to build for the masses
Great video. JL Audio c2’s sound great.
badassgmc00 Agreed. Very clear, cost effective and low power requirements.
Great Job man
Thanks!
Beautiful video bro. This additional content is great. CLEAN install. Love the quality and thought process every time. And yea dealerships need to make those decks standard.
thizzface Thanks Thizz! Hopefully we can influence the engineers a little.
Hands down, quality at its best lol
Thank you!
good video man.. I saw how everyone crucified ya on last video for not letting them hear it(not like we can tell if it sounds good or not anyways because of camera lol) but clean install.. thumbs up from me
Jake Bradford Thanks man, it was a team effort with me and my other tech. Ya I don't like demoing the systems because people are just hearing their speakers, not the ones I installed so it doesn't do it justice. Thanks for the support!
Great video. Could you explain how you got the connection from the HU for channels 1 & 2 to the LC7i? I have a 2018 Tacoma and wanting to do this set up but i can't seem to imagine how the wiring connections work to the LC7i from head unit and what specific wirings or if any additional equipment is needed to do this. I'm probably overthinking this 😅
I used the colour coding from the Metra harness plugs.
Good day, nice and clear video. Which scanner would you recommend me to get for a 2013 Tacoma V6 and an automatic transmission. Thanks.
Like a scan tool?
Can you do a video on how you wired in the wires for the lc7i into the harness? I love how clean that looks but not sure how you accomplished this..
I'll see what I can do.
I was going to buy Jbl but not anymore thanks to you.
It's hard to hear what the actual sound system sounds like, without hearing it in person to be fair.
I’m between the 8w3 microsub or a Preloaded sealed box with a 10” TW3 fora crew cab 2013 Sierra.
I currently have a JL RD900/5 powering a front set of C1 components and a 10” W1 in a sealed box built to specs. No rear speakers yet. The W1 is getting about 200 watts at 4 ohms. I can bearly notice it, It blends in too well. I want some more volume/impact and for it to sound a little deeper. I would port the W1, but as it is I can’t lower my rear seat, which is also something that I’m trying to achieve.
I would give that W1 at least 300 watts at a 2 ohm load. Is it in a sealed enclosure? More power with polyfill and that W1 will come alive.
I just apply fast rings and then just push door skin back on so is better to cut fast ring or is fine if you just sandwich back on is thigh fit but screws hold pretty well on a little bit ob bolk but nothing serious
roki buča If I didn't cut it here, it would have folded over the speaker.
I’m trying to do my first install based on your videos. I’m building my wire harness just like you did.. or trying to.. I understand all the speaker wire goes back to the lc7i and the amp as well as the yellow (power) and blue .. but what about the red and orange wires? Do you just pass them through straight from the 70-1761 to the 71-1761? Could you spell out how you wire it for a noob like myself.. thanks
It's hard to spell out the entire sound system because there can be miscommunication and can damage something on the vehicle. To do a system like this you honestly want to have a really good grasp on the the theory to perform it. I have a video that explains the wire colours that might help you out though. th-cam.com/video/buXRMeUCMi0/w-d-xo.html
Great video. I'm trying to figure out what you did with the amp. Did you by-wire the front mids and tweeters and leave the rear speakers on the head unit? That is a 5 channel amp correct?
Anthony Sanchez
Tweeters and front woofers are wired together through a passive cross over. Yes the amplifier is a 5 channel.
Hey, I have a 2020 Tacoma 4door and I was wondering would the JL Audio c5-653 fit in my front door panels and what amp would you recommend? Thank you
You'll need a speaker adaptor or something made custom. Check out JL Audio's XD line up of amplifiers.
Very clean setup! my only concern is that you at MAX volume, you are sending a clipped or distorted signal from oem radio to the line out converter, then amp. Personally, find the highest volume before distortion, then use gain to match it and tune it.
hortonj63 Isn't that why we use an oscilloscope using a 1k frequency signal and adjust the LC7i and gains on the amp?
yes but not at max radio volume. You should find the radios max volume before distortion, then adjust gains accordingly.
hortonj63 But I just turned it up for the video... It is so hard to please you guys.... This is why I don't demo the systems in videos, impossible to please people with the simplest things.
im just giving my .02c bud. no bashing involved. im an installer myself. Trust me. i know how you feel.
I recently purchased a 2015 Silverado and found out it has a "Regulated Voltage Control" Charging System, so while I'm driving the voltage always varies from 11.5-14 volts. I had planned on installing a JL Audio XD1000/5v2, should I be concerned about this RVC System affecting the performance of the amplifier? Or would I be better off with the JL Audio HD900/5 with RIPS Technology?
The RVC will adjust depending on loads its sees it seems. I have a 2005 Silverado which runs an earlier version of the system. If you can afford the HD I would get the HD9005/5. I would also consider Alpine's PDX V9 which is also a very efficient amplifier, I run one in my Silverado and one in my 350Z.
I am curious why you went with that box instead of the stealthbox? Was it just cost wise or are the stealthboxes over rated and get the same performance out of the standard box??
At the time the rear of the new Tacoma changed and the new Stealthbox wasn't available. Wanted to show an alternative to custom or a Stealthbix because this is also significantly cheaper.
I did it but personality I'd ditch thr coaxial speakers and put some nice mids in with nice mid ranges above it. Wish the stock radio didn't have so many Toyota features or I'd that that out too. I have the jbl one
Thanks for sharing!
No build list for this mate ? Cause this is what im looking for !
Kept it Simple
Audio Control LC7i
JL Audio XD 9005
Jl Audio C2 components and coaxials
JL Audio 8inch sub
Stinger 4 gauge wiring
Sound deadening
I swear like 5 years ago when I had my first truck I went to Custom Sounds and saw that sub but it was the dual 8's and it was over 500 so I was like no thanks I'll just wait until they go down and still to this day those things are still over 500 new. I can't believe how much they've held their value, pretty ridiculous
gabrielgalaxygh They're not cheap but they're worth it. We impress a lot of people with these subs.
AnthonyJ350 yea they're awesome, I had four of them and people thought i had 2 12's
AnthonyJ350 i ended up trading 1 set for a brand new ar15 though, best trade ever haha
gabrielgalaxygh Haha nice!
Great video. Do you power the lc7i off the amp or the factory head unit? What’s the pros cons of either ? Thanks
Craig Colburn We powered the LC7i off the head unit. They don't need much power to run. So when the accessory circuit turns off, the whole system turns off.
Anthony, do you happen to know how many watts the tacoma HU puts out? I have a 2019 tacoma and I want to change out the speakers without adding an amp quite yet. Nice work by the way!
Thanks! It's probably something like 15 watts RMS. Aftermarket is around 22-25 watts RMS.
AnthonyJ350 is there a way I can purchase a T harness off of you? I wanna add an Alpine power pack to my HU.
@@tacticalmz831 Unfortunately I only provide it locally. You're local install shop could make it for you, if you show them the video.
AnthonyJ350 for sure. I went to my local install dealer and they were saying the LC2i causes floor noise or hissing. I have a 2019 taco just wondering if that’s true? Thank you in advance!
@@tacticalmz831 I use the LC7i which for us works great for the all pass filter that's in the Tacoma factory head unit. We also run a ground from the factory head unit to the LC7i and the new aftermarket amp to help with any noise. If we want DSP we select an amp with a built-in DSP to provide any tuning requirements.
I’m about to get new speakers for my ram , do u think the lc7 is worth it? I didn’t really look at processors when I was picking out my equipment. Do they make it that much better or can u go with out it. I want sound quality not loud bass
TheFiendRacer Do you have the factory Alpine system and which display do you have? I've done a bunch of Rams with the LC7i but you can't do time delay or adjust the EQ.
AnthonyJ350 I have the non alpine, non 8.4. Also was wondering where the tweeter should be mounted. I heard the sail panels were good instead of he dash. What do u suggest?
Was this a non jbl stock system? If so , can you use same setup on stock jbl system? Thank you
This was a non-JBL system
I'd really like to see exactly how you made your harness and where you got the plugs from. I want to do the same set up but I dont want to splice the factory wiring
It's basically like wiring up an aftermarket harness twice and you're using male and female versions of the plugs.
@@AnthonyJ350 where did you get the plug ends? The plug that goes to the factory harness is easy to find but the plug that goes to the radio I'm not sure what to look for
@@AnthonyJ350 so harness to car and harness to radio should be all I need correct? I wont need anything for nav/antenna/ back up camera?
@@chrisaaron7762 that's right
@@AnthonyJ350 would you be able to possibly verify the part # for the plugs? I ordered the 71-1761 and 70-1761. It says the male connector is for toyotas 87-94 but it is the only one I could find
Is that the cp108? I have the cp208 same sub just 2 of them in a box and I had 2 sets of them in my trunk at one time, those little 8s slammed so hard. Plus it looked so cool to have four Subs in my trunk! He's gonna love that little sub
gabrielgalaxygh Ya he loved the truck after. I'm pretty sure this was the CP108, it was a ported enclosure. It's funny because he came in just to replace the tweeters and after talking to him we ended up doing a full install lol.
It's amazing how much vehicles sound with a subwoofer.
AnthonyJ350 that's what's up, great salesmanship and I'm sure he was insanely happy if he was just you coming in for tweeters ha. .. Nothing beats a sound system.
gabrielgalaxygh Ya he was a referral so he was very open minded to my ideas.
AnthonyJ350 referrals are my favorite in my business. it just reassures me that my crew is doing an awesome ass job. Shows the same about your shop
gabrielgalaxygh Pretty much the "builds" videos are all referral jobs
What's your opinion on the oemaudioplus system? if you have one.
Landon Smith Sorry I don't have any experience with that system.
Do you know if the adapter will work on a 2.5 gen? If so what brand are they?
These are Metra plugs
Is that a 8” or 10” sub? Great video
8 inch sub, thanks!
Did you have to do any cutting for it to fit
Nope, should just fit. JL does have a Stealthbox available now.
Do you think this box could fit in a 03 frontier crew cab?
You'd have to measure it
What was the test music you were using in the video?
I get it from Epidemic Sound. Typically the House genre
Do you have a list of speakers, box and stuff used?
We used JL Audio's C2 speakers, XD amplifier and their W3 eight inch sub woofer.
If you're going to ground the head unit at the amp, you might consider a fuse on the smaller gauge wire at the ground.
Fuse the ground? The main power for the head unit is already fused. What are your thoughts on that exactly?
If somehow the grounds came loose, this configuration introduces the possibility of the amp grounding through that tiny wire back into the harness.
Ahhh I see you're point. But they're on the same bolt, so wouldn't they both get loose simultaneously and arching would be the main issue? And if they're loose and secured at the same point, would the fuse do anything? In your theory the same could also happen through the RCAs.
It probably is fine, but there is a way for it to happen. Similar dangers exist for the RCA as well, but the more distance the less likely.
@@sloppydoggy9257 Thanks for the tip though! I definitely keep that one in mind for future systems.
Can I ask where you got the head unit wire harness and what name/model number it is
I used a factory style harness from Metra 71-1761 and an after market harness 70-1761. You can order them from your local install shop.
What's the quality of bass with the 8"? Is it pounding?
That's subjective. How big was your last system?
What harness you use to connect the LC7i?? where i can find it ???
I use male and female harnesses from Metra and create my own t-harness.
My shop wants to use an lc2i for a JL audio 900/5 RD keeping stock highs and radio just adding a TW3 thoughts ?
Sorry for the late reply. You can I suppose but you'll have no fade. Also the LC7i will allow more adjustability as far as gains go.
@Your Mums HITACHI I think it's just the paint job. I haven't noticed anything different when the black finish came out. Both compensate for "bass roll off" both allow signal summing, both have GTO signal turn on (if you want to use it). If there is a difference I'm unaware of what it is.
Do you have a list of the components you installed?
Send me your e-mail and I'll make a list.
What brand and speaker are the stock speakers on it?
Not sure, but the stock speakers kind of suck.
How do you make a t harness for the lc7i to factory radio
I got a factory style harness and aftermarket one from Metra Electronics and made my own t-harness.
What was your audio source? Will it play flac files?
Factory head unit, and probably not able to play flac
Is this the 8 inch or 10 inch woofer
8 inch
why are you only powering the front stage speakers?
Hitting a price point and focusing on the front is the most important as far as sound staging goes.
The rears still play through the factory head unit
Correct, no power seats until the 2020 models.
Thanks for confirming!
I have a 2020 what harness' would I have to buy to make my T harness
You need harnesses 71-1761 & 70-1761 from Metra Electronics and you have to wire in between.
@@AnthonyJ350 thank you
What sub enclosure is that?
JL Audio CP108
volume all the way to max?
It was probably 3/4
How much does a set up like this cost
Gerry Gamo Roughly 2 grand with labour and parts.
Do you sell that harness you made ?
Gerry Gamo No I only make them in-house. Metra developed a t-harness with DSP I believe though.
why not replace with another 6by9 speaker @1:40??
Technically a round speaker sounds better than an oval one. A 6X9 would produce more midrange bass because it's bigger. So really it's a preference.
Thank you, @@AnthonyJ350
What does this set up cost?
Roughly $2500-$3000 if you include labour and depending on extras you want.
What amp did you use?
JL Audio XD Series 5 channel amplifier.
AnthonyJ350 quick question, why did you run a 5 channel amp instead of a 4 if your just powering 2 speakers and an amp? How did you wire the 5 channel? Thanks man
Stealth installs are better, I don't want to SEE it... just see a 8/10in sub in my trunk.
Khyree Holmes Ya they're my favourite to do.
A woofer needs air to push and with it against the seat it’s probably not going to sound good
Have you tried it with a good subwoofer and a good amp? Most factory systems in trucks put it there.
Where would you put it in the truck without sacrificing passenger or storage space?
Tacoma don't have electric powered seats
K wasn't sure, thanks!
AnthonyJ350 2020 is the first year with power seats ever
Should have used Audison Nova in the Tacoma not a LC2i
LILBLUEAAA It was an LC7i
Haha you guy did not even put in JL Audio Stealth box in this Tacoma false title ... just trying to get views the wrong way... I have a JL Audio Stealth box in my Tacoma. You guys made the install more complex then it is.
LILBLUEAAA Ummm the theme is a "stealth" or "hidden" sound system. JL vehicle specific enclosures are named "Stealth Boxes" and as you can see I didn't title it that way. I thought it was a simple system. We're aware of JL's line up, our installs have been featured on their Instagram page.
LILBLUEAAA Would you say it's complicated because you don't understand the custom t-harness. Whether line output converter or DSP the wiring job would be the same.
