Hello one question! To connect a 5-channel amplifier, 4 channels for the door speakers and 1 channel for a subwoofer with epicenter bass, the truck has the system Bose (amplifier) and an aftermarket alpine estero, thanks
Very good video. Having a hard time wrapping my head around how to bypass the stereos wires though. Whats a T- harness? Which part of the harness do you run the signal from the speed wire to?
The harness that I have connected to my Kenwood DDX26BT has a few extra wires( yellow, black, red, orange, blue w/white stripe), I assume this connector still needs to be plugged to the deck(to power the deck)? and the other speaker wires(white, green, violet, grey pairs) are soldered to the speed wire? - 2009 Silverado 1500
My son has an 08 Chevy Equinox. Where would you pick up the remote turn on lead in these modern vehicles with small wiring? He has a stock head unit. Thank you.
With the right line out converter, no need to search one out as the LOC can generate one for you. a Pac LP7-2 can provide a turn on, as well as any audiocontrol LOCs. If keeping the OEM radio, just depends were you'd tap in for signal. For non-Bose systems, i'd do a T-harness behind the radio and add a LOC that way.
I’m going to have to run speaker wire from the rear of truck where I put my amp to the front and rear doors. When I run it to the front can/should I run it along with the RCA’s or up the middle of truck? I’ve heard up the middle will pick up transmission noise.
@@PincheBeto_Bass I ended up mounting the amp to some 1/4” plywood and using zip ties to secure it to holes I drilled in the metal that sticks out from the back of the cab. The metal is what the carpet material is secured to with push tabs. No holes in the cab
Hey where can I get that amp mounting board? I have a 08 Chevy Silverado 2500 crew cab . I have a front fire 2) 8’s under rear seat box . So I need to mount my amps and cap
I purchased a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 double cab. I’ve been following this series to help me with my install. I have a Eonon R80 head unit. It’s plug/play. Is there anyway I can tap speaker wires still?
@@ProvoBeastAudiohow did you tie in the 9 conductor cable? with the T harness? i’ve been bouncing back and fourth between this video, as well as just your radio install video on this model without the external amplifier. In this video, you had the extra plug in with the 9 wire conductors. i’m just confused on what to do here
Thank you for this video! This is perfect timing! I have a Crux SOOGM-16 that I've used with a Sony receiver for the last two years, and no amp. However, I'm now adding an aftermarket 4-channel amp, and I wanted to use the existing speaker wires in my truck and harness, so I was about to attempt what you did - cut the output audio wires from the Crux and connect those directly to my amp. The front R/L +/- wires go directly to the GM harnesses (X1 and X2), and so does the rear R/L positive wire. However, I see Crux wired the rear R/L negative wires sort of crazy: Aftermarket radio -> Crux 16 pin connector (manual has a typo and refers to it as 24 pin) AND to rear R/L negative wires on GM harness AND to Crux 8 pin connector audio output. I assume this is to pipe in the OnStar audio (which I'm not interested in keeping.) Obviously, I will cut the aftermarket wires since I will be using the pre-amp RCAs instead. My question is, did you cut those two rear negative wires anywhere else, or just right after the 8 pin audio output connector? I'm not sure if I should cut the connection to the "input" side of the Crux on the 16 pin connector portion, etc. From your video, I can see you cut at least 16 wires: 8 from receiver to Crux, and 8 from the Crux output to the speaker connects on the GM harnesses. I can't tell the rest since it's covered in tape. Thank you!
Hey there, where we cut is directly connected to the harness which leads to each speaker with nothing in between. So any signal correction / onstar is bypassed as we are sending our complete signal from the amp right into the factory harness.
Your crux has two sets of speaker leads? Mine has one, which is what I would hook up to the aftermarket radio adapter. So I don't understand how you have more leads to connect to the 9 conductor/ to the amp..
Parts (if you order yourself) are linked in the description for current prices. Labor will vary by shop, or if you want to give it a go yourself, then save a buck.
So if I have a factory stereo in a Jetta, can I run the 9 wire to the factory stereo(No Bose or anything), then connect the 9 wire to the amp as if it was each speaker being wired?
I install everything in my truck but i cant make box for my sub like yours so If you can write here sub box dimension it will be very helpful for me thanks
Wtf lame ass kids can't even ground properly yes u just drill a hole somewhere safe or better yet find the closest factory nut bolt of vehicle scrape paint off with wire wheel bam!! Done
Got a question, few years ago I got a amp and sub installed to my factory radio. I was curious if I could swap out the stock radio with a aftermarket one and would I be okay with doing that or would I have to change some things?
I’d recommend running RCA cables from the aftermarket radio to your amplifiers and ditch any high to low levels adapters that were previously installed.
The stock wires are for like 40 watts but for like more them 100rms I don't think will be good I'm running new wires on mine on the 4 doors 12 gauge running 300 rms speaks on each door
Ok cause this is what I’m going through. I have 2012 Altima, I took out factory radio and installed a (Boss be7acp radio) with a (Boss 3700 5 channel amp)brought kenwood door speakers and 6x9 also but my problem is wen I try to hook my hi’s up it make noise wen I cut it up and even burnt out to of my radios and that’s just wen I hook my hi’s up but I also have a 10 inch kicker wen I hook that up it play good no problem but I don’t have my hi’s hook up and I do have two amp if I have to connect them separately but I cant figure out what is making my HI’s do that I rewire and all just don’t see what’s wrong
Generally you fuse to your wiring type (CCA or OFC), gauge, and run length; not necessarily to the amplifier. OFC wiring can handle more current than CCA wiring. This amp needs 4 gauge wiring (we recommend OFC), and needs about 100 amps of supplied power. If you blew a fuse, either your run is too long, bad wiring, or you have a short somewhere.
Parts used linked in the description of the video!
I’ve been putting this off because I’ve never ran an amp to door speakers. Just subs. 9 connector cable is going to be a lifesaver. Thanks!
Hello, I believe you should make a guide to bypass Bose amp for 2008-2013 chevys

Does anyone know where to cut the speaker wire off for the harness? I am having trouble figuring it out and don’t want to cut cables i don’t need to.
I just got a 2023 Civic and can’t find a harness for the factory radio. Am I out of luck until one is made?

I’m particular and trying to figure how to mount my amp behind the back seat without driving holes through the cab

Can you run 2-10 or 2-12 with that same amp, or do you recommend a different amp
I'm wondering the same thing
Where is the amplifier located in a 2011 Silverado?
I don't get it. 2014 started a new model redesign until 2018? why is this 07 to 14?
