@ColtinCountryman 6 месяцев назад

I think it's worth mentioning that while this is a quick and easy solution, it may not be the best way to do this to protect your factory speakers, and get the best signal. Your factory head unit is designed to lower the bass frequencies down at higher volumes to protect the factory speakers. This means that your amplifier isn't receiving as strong of a signal as you'd like it too and you may become prone to push your amp beyond what it can handle to compensate. Also, tapping into the speaker outputs in parallel like this means that the head unit now has a lower impedance on it than it usually would have due to a less electrically restrictive path made possible by the circuitry in the amplifier's inputs. It probably won't be a problem in most cases but some factory head units may not be able to handle it.

@JCTFIXIT 6 месяцев назад

Nerd alert ⚠️. Thanks for the extra thoughts.

@braceyourselvesfortruth2492 6 месяцев назад

The amplifier speaker level inputs should have a significantly higher input impedance than the speaker outs on the head unit, on the order of thousands of ohms. This will keep the impedance basically the same on the entire load, like 3.97 instead of 4 ohms. This is exactly how they are intended to be used. Going back to the first issue, I have found that the best way to combat this is to set your levels at your ideal listening volume, but of course you are ultimately limited both by gain staging and speaker power handling. Thanks for the video!

Hey jct great video, liked and subscribed! I’m doing this in my Jeep and I want to replace my stock amp and stock sub and keep my factory head unit. I already have everything but was wondering if I need to remove my stock amp to be able to use my aftermarket amp? And also I was going to tap into my stereo harness sub wire in the back of my stereo. I noticed you tapped into it right at the sub in the back, which would you recommend if time wasn’t a issue?

@JCTFIXIT 3 года назад

If time isn't an issue, tap the sub wire coming from the back of the stereo. Depending on your vehicle configuration, this may bypass the amp. Like in my vehicle the oem sub amp was in the trunk and I obviously do not bypass it. Your stock amp doesn't have to be removed and won't draw much power if it is not energizing any speakers although it wouldn't hurt either if you wanted to remove it. Just make sure that its only powering stock sub. You don't want to accidently remove power from other speakers.

Run from rear door speakers into panel between front and rear doors then down under carpets to back seats to trunk. If your amp doesn't have a high level input, you will need a line converter. It takes the speaker signal and dumbs it down and switches it to rca to go into your amp.

@JCTFIXIT 5 месяцев назад

In my case going to the oem sub, the line could be filtered or clamped already. But the same could be the case for rear speakers in some vehicles as well. Surely you will get absolute best sound by replacing your head unit. But as far as using a line out converter, it wouldn't really change anything from utilizing high level inputs.

Yes its just a 12v signal to tell the amp to turn on. You want to tie it into something that is only on when the car is on that way you dont run your battery down for no reason.

My acura rdx has a stock sub and amp, i was going to run the loc with the 2 back speakers. Do i have to unplug my stock sub/amp or no? Thanks in advance. Im guessing i dont have to, not 100% sure tho

You don't have to but I would probably unhook the sub or you could I have some funky phase issues

@aronorn9150 3 года назад

So when you tap into a speaker are you sharing the power from that speaker with the sub or is it just the signal?

@JCTFIXIT 3 года назад

It is used as an input signal to go to your amplifier. Then the output on the amplifier goes to the subwoofer.

Hey man quick question? Where can I find that cord for the remote( bass knob) since I can’t find it due to their only being the new styles for the remote control?

@JCTFIXIT 2 года назад

Depending on what amp you are using it could vary. Many of them use an RJ12 cable. Good luck
