This video gives a visual tutorial on which interior panels to remove and how to run the wires to install an amplifier and subwoofer into the trunk of a 2015+ Ford Mustang (applies to all trims). This method could be considered one of the "simpler" methods. A line out converter that mitigates bass rolloff would be better, but more expensive. Alternatively, you could tap the signal wires before the amplifier, but they are thin on the 9 and 12 speaker package and would require additional work and risk. As far as running the power wire to the fuse box terminal, I was having voltage drops when running to the screw directly on the battery, hence why I wired it to the fuse box. Although many have said it's not ideal to run the power wire to the fuse box, I have had ZERO issues since this installation. My amplifier is 1000W max (500RMS) and the subwoofer is rated to 350W RMS, so it's not pulling huge amperage. Hopefully this helps out those wanting to do the installation. It is not very difficult, you just need to be careful when removing retainer in order to not damage them. It is also tricky to feed the power wire through the grommet shown, but can be done with some effort. I didn't bother to show how to wire up the amplifier, wires to the subwoofer from the amp, or how to crimp the terminals and connection to the battery/fuse box. This can be found via numerous other sources and is very simple. There are instructions with the SNI-35 Line Out Converter that describe how to wire it. You can use wire taps or butt connectors, but I prefer solder for longevity whenever feasible.

You've got it easy. I have a convertible and have yet to see a vid showing one. The casing sits between the seat and trunk that stretches across like a box holding pumps and electrical wires, fluids... any one seen a vid like this for convertibles?

I ended up running the fuse wire off of fuse 27 from the inside passenger footwell fuse box

I used an "add-a-fuse" and utilized the power window fuse slot. The fuse tap allows you to retain the original fuse function (fuse for power window) and then connect a wire, which I used to connect the remote wire. I've used this method for 15 years and have never had an issue as long as you crimp the connection well. You can also solder that wire if you so choose, if you don't trust crimp connections. I normally solder exposed wire taps.

Thank you for posting. Did you have to put in a radio after (if you did) disconnecting the battery?
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 3 года назад
Not sure I know what you are asking but disconnecting the battery does sometimes affect radio presets, so you may need to program some things if the battery is disconnected for a while.

Appreciate the vid. In your opinion whats a reasonable install fee for the job? I have a 12" JL sub & 600w amp id like to put in my '17 gt premium and my go to shop wants almost 200 bucks for the labor. Is that fair?
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 4 года назад
I would say a good install can be done by a pro in about a 2-3 hours, taking their time. Assuming a shop rate of 100/hr, 200 sounds fair for an install. I would say if they offer guarantees on their workmanship, 200 is plenty fair knowing you can have them fix anything that goes wrong with the install. Remember that any time you take off plastic panels, you risk damaging clips or other parts, it's nice to have peace of mind.

I see the wire going through the carpet but I can’t see the hole it’s coming through inside the car. All I see is it’s going through the side of the fender hole down the grommet and after that... ? Please show me the hole it’s coming out from inside the car.

It was hard to get that angle on camera, I should have used a cell phone for that shot. You can see the grommet I ran the wire through at 6:04 from the engine side, I cut the top off the left hand side, the part that looks like a little rubber cap. One thing I don't remember is if the grommet had both an inner and outer portion but I did leave a scar on my hand trying to pull the power wire though and when it finally came through I bashed by hand against the bottom of the glovebox...it's sharp, wear gloves. At 7:07 you can see where the wire is, it comes through the firewall pretty much exactly right there underneath the carpet underlay that is in that shot. Just pull back the carpet and the underlay and you will see the grommet.

But how do you run the input? I can see how to put it in and remove rear seats and front tire but how do you run the input to the head unit?
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 4 года назад
I assume you mean the input which is the sound input on the amp? I used a pre-out adapter. Note in the video where I tap the wires that are behind the seats and rear plastic panel and note the wire colors. This is tapping the speaker signal wires for the rear speakers, the box that the wires connect to (Pre-out adapter) allow you to plug in RCA cables and run them to the input of the amplifier. The only big downside of this is that you do have some bass roll-off which is how the signal is run to the rear speakers to keep them from blowing from excessive bass, this can result in your subwoofers not getting the volume you expect at higher volumes. This can be counteracted with higher end pre-out adapters that eliminate bass roll off, Audio Control LC2i does this. I simply wanted a quick easy install on mine, I didn't have any real complaints with my install, the bass hit hard and everything was all hidden in the rear tire well.

Are there any wires in the trunk you could tap into to run the remote? Or is it necessary to run it to the fuse box?
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 5 лет назад
I believe there is some "blue" wire that you can tap into, I think it is for the radio antenna. To my recollection it is under the parcel tray (the carpet lined cardboard thing between the rear seats and the rear glass. I think the tray came out when you fold down the rear seats and there are a couple push pins you pull out, then you can remove the tray. I think there was a module there with wires attached, I recall it being the blue wire that you can run remote power from. I traded the car a while back and I did this install more than a couple years ago so it's not too fresh in my mind. You might find more info on Mustang6G forums.

YES, There is absolutely a blue wire in the trunk that works as a REMOTE WIRE. After hours of scratching my head, I finally took a look in the trunk and found the blue wire. PROBLEM SOLVED. (It is in the wire loom going from car to deck-lid)

blue and white wire in the trunk as said, it is the remote power for back up camera... In the passenger kick panel the other if a purple with green strip wire as another remote connection...

What accessories are on the fuse box terminals? I like the looks of doing this and the factory supply cable seems pretty beefy. I am looking to use the lower of the three.
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 5 лет назад
I'm not too sure what other things ran off those terminals. I was running a 350W RMS subwoofer off that connection and never had any issue, so it seems to be capable of handling that much. Of course, proceed with caution. You commented 7 months ago, so maybe you've installed yours already, lol.

@@RevvdMedia Hi, I just wonder: in some of the scenes your power wire is connected directly to the plus terminal on the battery, but the text and your answer right here says fuse box. So which one is it, and why? Great video btw! 😀
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 5 лет назад
Hi, I recorded as much as I could when doing the install, and I didn't know how everything was going to go as I was performing the install. I planned to install the power wire directly to the battery cable, but I was getting an inconsistent power signal because the connection wasn't very good, so my final installation had the power cable wired to the fuse box. Just consider it a lack of continuity in the video, lol. Hollywood screws this up too sometimes!
@jacobmcnamee
@jacobmcnamee 5 лет назад
If you take the battery out and the the battery tray/bucket held by 3 bolts; there is a hole under a plastics cap where tray sits where you can pass the power cord from the same grommet area... just a cleaner cable management... Also no need to remove tire or wheel well...

my car battery dies bc the amp is constantly on after i installed. Any ideas what the issue is?
@mckennaandpineapple6156
@mckennaandpineapple6156 3 года назад
I had this same problem I plugged mine into the radio fuse thinking that would work. But when I used my meter the amp was still getting power I plugged it in the power window like he suggested and it's been fine since
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 3 года назад
@@mckennaandpineapple6156 I agree here, make sure you use a fuse slot with power that switches off. Some fuses stay on 100% of the time after the car is off, others will turn off either immediately, or after the door is open, closed, then locked, or after 10 mins, varies by make/model.

wth, after watching the vdo i give up my idea of installing a subwoofer in my mustang, it would b nice if they had the battery in the trunk...i was desperately looking for subwoofers for my car but now NO!!!...but would like to know if theres any substitute...i mean can i replace my stock speakers with different speakers with higher watts.. TIA
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 5 лет назад
The installation is not as daunting as it looks, I remember the worst parts being working in the small back seat area and running the power wire through the firewall. If the installation fee was reasonable, it might just be easier to have a professional do the installation. As for any alternative means to this install, there are no other power cables I found in the back of the car able of handling the amperage requirements for a subwoofer, you need to at least run a power wire if nothing else.

all batteries should be in the trunk..just for performance alone moving that heavy thing to the rear is a benefit,my wifes Genesis came that way,Koreans are smart

Would this process work for a 2012 mustang? Trying to do the same thing for mine. In search of a vid for an s197
@RevvdMedia
@RevvdMedia 3 года назад
I would imagine there are similarities but the S550 is a whole new platform so there may be some differences. I only drove a S197 but never owned one. Most cars of the 2010's up have clips retaining panels. The key to a clean install is hiding the wires under panels or carpeting and running it to where you need it. The most difficult part might be deciding where to run the wire through the firewall if you need to wire it up in the engine bay. Usually an existing grommet can be utilized. I'm actually surprised if there are no videos out there!
