No, it's not unfortunately... where's the ForScan to remove the bass rolloff for the rear speakers, alternatively where's the T-harness behind the ACM to fetch the good signals from the front speakers? The rear speakers in the base systems in any S550 Mustang are highpassed signals, means no real bass from them without heavy re-equalizing or raising gains beyond any recognition. Where's the correct connectors instead of the shitty positaps? Metra has adapters for the rear speakers that can be used to tie in without using Positaps which will basically destroy the stock wiring on the long run. Why a LOC at all if almost any amplifier imagineable has one built in these days including signal sensing for high-level input so no remote wire is needed? The Kicker CX 300.1 has a LOC built-in.
I just did this watching your video and you did a great job with the wiring diagrams and explanation. Speaker wires are Y/ split on rear seat driver side by the front seatbelt for the driver on convertible. Thank you. 2020 Mustang GT Convertible CS.
Thank you for this video bro first time ever doing something like this and it worked badass ! I have no prior knowledge of any car audio but you made the instructions so clear and the diagram helped a bunch 🎉
Going to attempt this on a 2013 Mustang. Looks like most of this should carry over? This video was amazing with the description and clarity. Thank you!!
If you use the battery bolt you need to run a metal brush through it to get rid of the powder coating those bolts have so you don't have voltage irregularities. Same thing with the ground by the rear seat. Cool video though.
Thank you!! This saved me money! The diagram was amazing and was super helpful as this was my first install on any car! I also had an issue with my OLC not working with the remote wire. Just a suggestion for others, you do not need to remove the backseat. The cables can be easily wedged inbetween the seat.
The rear speakers wires are a quick access, but the lower door speakers is what you want in order to get a better signal. That amp's power terminal is only for fork lugs, or else you run risks of connection problems. I'd suggest using an LC2i as your loc bc you're still gonna have Bass roll-off .
All that is true, but for the purposes of my build, tapping the rear speakers was the most convenient and the trade off in audio quality isn’t huge for a sub imo. Additionally, fork lugs are definitely ideal but using the wire itself is fine as long as you’re careful to not let any strands touch the other ports.
Way more work than needs to be done. If you run the amps power wire through the driver side there is a huge grommet on the firewall just waiting for accessories. Plus you can hide all the wires making for a more professional factory like install. Also you dont get power for the rem wire from the amp. The amp power is wired directly to the battery. Running the rem wire like that isn't a switched power therefore it wont turn things off. Best thing to do would be get a fuse jumper and put it right into the radio fuse then run a rem wire. By using your backup cam wire your adding a place of potential failure for your cam. We wont even get into your wiring connections. But this is rookie 101.
Question: what gauge posi taps do I need? Also What gauge wire(black wires shown in video) do I need to connect the loc to the rear speakers? Thank you anyways for the great video. And I hope to get a response.
I don't want nothing to big in my daily driver but I hooked up 2 6×9 kicker rear speakers to a 300watt kicker amp so I just hook the sub up to the amp ? That's all
I did this same set up... it worked great except I tapped the wires from behind the seat under the cover so I didn't have to cut the tape you see in the trunk. how ever..... The next day all of a sudden my car won't find my keys.... any chance this has to due with anything. (I couldn't think so but only thing that changed)
I feel like he did a really good job explaining how to do things but he made his life a lot harder by running the power through the wheel well when he could just go through the little gap between the hood and the doors I feel the way that he did it is going to scare a lot of people off for doing it them self
Does anyone know where the ANC mic is on a 2019 coupe ecoboost? Seems they changed the mic location on 2019+ and it is no longer in the headliner as shown in this video, how to I remove it to disable the fake noises?! Can't find this answer anywhere. Great video though! Followed every other step to a T without issue
I did an install today on a 2017 GT Auto, and, no mics in either of those places, I searched everywhere, and I'm getting the feedback noises when I turn car off, like delayed a few minutes, weird as fuck
If I'm running speaker wires all the way up front from a dsp amp, is it best to run them down separate sides (one along with power wire?) or both down the side with the RCA's, and all the way across the back of the dash?
Where does the wire go that’s spliced into the backup camera’s 12v wire? I didn’t see that installed since I saw all of your power connections from the LOC go into the amp’s connections
So my LOC’s remote wire feature was not working properly, so I ran the spliced wire from the backup camera 12v wire directly to the REMOTE port on the amp itself.
@@srichoudan so you ran a remote wire directly to the amp itself? Has this given you any issues because I’m thinking about getting a line out converter that doesn’t come with a remote wire so I’ll be doing directly to the amp itself
Doing this on my 2015 gt premium and I can’t find the remote wire I have different colored wires, I have a solid blue which I tested and was not it and a half blue half white which was not it either
It should be the blue wire with a thin white strip running through it. It’s also noticeably a little thinner than the surround wires in the harness as well.
Take my tire off and drop the inside.....I just shut mine in the door seal was to lazy to find my way through that completely sealed firewall just went through the fender space lol and also I cut the one set of ends off the amp aux cord and wired those to the back speaker where you see those bare metal wires from the stock wire harness as far as the amp cutoff you make a jumper from the power wire to the remote wire connection but run the cables to the cab of the car and use a switch lol
The remote wire this man used for his amp would not let my car turn off. I had to find a new remote wire because my car would start but when I try to turn it off everything will turn off but the motor
I had the same problem, I used the blue wire with the white line and the motor don't turn off until I set the alarm... can you please tell me where is the remote wire you found?
N there’s no engine sound?? I can’t get mine to stop making that sound no matter what I do. The only thing that helps is leaving my driver door or passenger door just a little bit open for some weird weird reason.
Aftermarket head units have RCA outputs for subwoofers, but factory head units don't, so instead of connecting to the back of a factory head unit, you tap into speaker wires and those signals are used as inputs for the subwoofer. Also, since you don't need to pull the head unit for the signal input, it's much easier to then tap into a wire near your woofer to get your "remote" input also. If you have an aftermarket head unit, then you pull the head unit and just connect to the head unit's subwoofer RCA outputs and the head unit unit's "remote" output, but for a factory head unit, those outputs are not there, so you tap into wires near your subwoofer and don't pull the head unit.
I have an 08. It’s a lot Easier and better to just upgrade the head unit. Aftermarket head unit will have rca outputs for sub amp and multi channel amps. If you have a shake then just don’t plug it in, the stock subs ruin it.
If you’re installing an amp on this car go the pro way and use a Lc1i Pro and save some time. It’s a more professional way to install it & make sure you use OFC wires and everything else. Thank me later
I just installed my amp and sub yesterday. My remote wire doesn’t detect a good 12v signal and my engine does not shut off unless I disconnect it from the backup camera smh
Lol same. I’m debating doing it myself. Done it plenty of times as a teenager but now I’m questioning if i really feel like tearing into my mustang or just letting a pro do it.
Why didn't u just access the firewall by removing the battery ? It's WAY easier than what u did ! If u just pull the battery and the plastic tray it sits on, u have complete access to the same grommet , and it would have taken 1/4 of the time !
Anyone else have an issue using the blue and white wire for remote on? This causes my fuel pump to keep feeding fuel and my engine won't shut off. Swapped remote to window fuse and amp won't turn off but car will now. Not sure what's happening

Best tutorial video I have ever used. Couldn't have installed my amp and sub in my 2022 Mustang GT without it!
This is the most informative video on 15-17 Mustangs, as far as installing speakers, & amp with a factory radio. Excellent job my friend, Thank you.
fire hazard''lol
I bought a 2022 GT (Traded my Eco boost) and needed to come back to this video as a refresher. Thanks again haha
I’m getting my 2017 mustang in the next two to 3 months . So ready yall wish me luck that I get the car & everything goes well . Thanks fellas
Awesome shit dude, cant even begin to explain how much this helped. You saved me from the $500 install fee 😂
My dude! Thank you so much just successfully hooked my sub up first try because of your video!! Many thanks brother
Of course! I appreciate it
This is the only video that does the install correctly, kudos to you 👊🏽
I appreciate that!

I used your video to locate and tap the rear speaker leads to send the signal to my amps on my 2016 Mustang GT 5.0. Worked perfectly.
Glad I could help!
Same

Perfectly explained 👌 thank you! I was about to pay to get it done but now I'll do it myself.
Glad to be of help!
Make sure to add a fuse (25-30 amp )in the battery cable going to the amp.
Best video I've come across for this. Thanks for being a hero and getting the wiring diagram
Thanks for that awesome diagram and explanation!! Not all heroes wear capes.
Haha I appreciate this comment, glad to be of some help
You’re the goat for this video. Explained everything perfectly bro
Wow , an actually helpful video on TH-cam , I never thought I’d see the day, thank you for your help💯

What kind of chin splitter is that!? That's gorgeous!
Bro, what is it lmao
@@TracerPerez LMFAO
@@TracerPerez I was looking at some on American muscle but I found this one on eBay that looked similar
what exhaust and blowoff valve do you use? it sounds great.
Just a muffler delete with a turbosmart BOV
im abt to do this for 2 12s very exited and ty for the very helpful video
You need to use Forscan to finish the setup when adding a subwoofer. Forscan also turns off interior microphone.
So is this LOC method so you don’t have to go pop open the headunit in the center console?
Yeah exactly, this way it’s easier and you don’t have to dismantle your dashboard
Question: what gauge posi taps do I need? Also What gauge wire(black wires shown in video) do I need to connect the loc to the rear speakers? Thank you anyways for the great video. And I hope to get a response.
Very helpful video, thank you!
You're welcome!
That’s my jam
You sir are a life saver
You need a fuse (25-30 amp) in the positive battery to amp cable.
Where did you get that Line OutPut Converter?
Thanks, im doing it for my 2024 gt although not the same it is similar enough as a reference
Thanks this was a very helpful video big ups to you 👍
Does the back speakers still work?
Great freaken video bro! Thanks
Is it the same process if I have the big screen ?
Where did you buy your front bumper splitter at?
I don't want nothing to big in my daily driver but I hooked up 2 6×9 kicker rear speakers to a 300watt kicker amp so I just hook the sub up to the amp ? That's all
See you want to invest in a bigger amp since you want to push your speakers and your sub
is there a sound quality difference when putting the loc thru the speakers not the radio?
Are the rear speaker wires the same color for 2019 ecoboost coupe?
So for the loc will the one you have work for a variation of amps? Or do I need a different loc for a 800watt amp compared to a 1600 watt amp?
No they’re universal
I did this same set up... it worked great except I tapped the wires from behind the seat under the cover so I didn't have to cut the tape you see in the trunk.
how ever.....
The next day all of a sudden my car won't find my keys.... any chance this has to due with anything. (I couldn't think so but only thing that changed)

Got a video of that by any chance? I'm car retarded? I HATE taking the panels off too, just seems those clips suck and it never goes back on as tight.
One is coming soon with in a couple of days
That's doesn't work🙄 unless you can show pictures or something.
Finally someone that knows about that little space between the hood and the doors!!! Facts bro!
This would make you unable to higher or lower the bass volume/level. Do you find that anoying or how you come around it? Good video!
Some LOC come with a control for that
Hi, great video! Do you know if the wiring harness is the same on a 2019 convertible since the speakers are beside each seats?
Yes the wiring harness should be the same, but getting to it may be a little bit trickier with the convertible

Guys get yourself an amp that can take speaker level signals and no Line out converter needed ! Audio control 800 is a good one
Anyone know if that trick with the firewall will work on a 2024? Trying to figure out the power wire on a subwoofer install on a new 2024 GT.
If I'm running speaker wires all the way up front from a dsp amp, is it best to run them down separate sides (one along with power wire?) or both down the side with the RCA's, and all the way across the back of the dash?
Is that black or smoke I like the matte stripes
Is this stock alternator and battery car? Im planning to put 2 10s to my car with alteast 2to3k amp
Awesome job!! Very helpful!! ALSO, how did you get the car to have the turbo sound at the beginning of the video?
Thanks, and I installed a blowoff valve (BOV), very simple upgrade to do
Does the amp stay on continuously due to the remote wire being wired straight from the battery?
Question for the premium models with the shaker sub. Can I still install a sub as an add on or will it disable my shaker sub
Dude thank you!!!

Help my battery got drained I tried connecting the remote wire to the blue white wire and still didn’t work
Could I use one of those line output converters with an 1100 watt amp
Take my tire off and drop the inside.....I just shut mine in the door seal was to lazy to find my way through that completely sealed firewall just went through the fender space lol and also I cut the one set of ends off the amp aux cord and wired those to the back speaker where you see those bare metal wires from the stock wire harness as far as the amp cutoff you make a jumper from the power wire to the remote wire connection but run the cables to the cab of the car and use a switch lol
Why a 2CH line out converter vs a single CH? I'm newb!
Where did you buy the Loc? Can you send me the link please
The remote wire this man used for his amp would not let my car turn off. I had to find a new remote wire because my car would start but when I try to turn it off everything will turn off but the motor

Same exact problem here
same here, help
Where does the red remote wire go into amp?
you ever find out? i need to know
where do the red wires go, if you write to me, I will translate through a translator. Thank you.
Did you need an interface??
N there’s no engine sound?? I can’t get mine to stop making that sound no matter what I do. The only thing that helps is leaving my driver door or passenger door just a little bit open for some weird weird reason.
What’s your RCA converter called
Why are my wires different colors than yours? I have the same mustang
What spoiler do you have?
Can I use this on a 3000 w max output 12” sub?
Super
Did you not have to to attach anything to the head unit because I thought I’d have to take the head unit out and all that stuff?

This happens sometimes, might want to see if you have power running in the car somehow when it’s off. Happened in a system awhile back for me often.
Do you think the wiring would be the same on a older 07?
I have an 08. It’s a lot Easier and better to just upgrade the head unit. Aftermarket head unit will have rca outputs for sub amp and multi channel amps. If you have a shake then just don’t plug it in, the stock subs ruin it.
