Thanks for checking out Installing Subwoofers in a Jeep SRT! And here is part 1 of the wiring. Technically this is just removing all of the panels to prepare for the wiring, but you can check out part 2 after this video!
Installed mine the other day bro, 🦛 xl the guys on the FB page said they all had trouble with the tuning when they used a loc and took the signal from the original subwoofer. I opted to pull my receiver and tap into the harness directly off the head unit. I'm using a lc2i turned out great #dangthangbangs
Yeah I tapped directly into the subwoofer wiring as well, as my factory sub stopped working last year. I had an lc2i previously installed but I found the LOC had a much cleaner signal. But either way, just glad to have it working! What did you install in yours?
Ay bro can you help out i installed a lci2 to a 2018 jeep srt with the km factory system i taped in to the sub also in the rear n didnt use the factory sub took it out everything work fine untill i close all the doors and try to drive i get the 2_3 bass beeps frm the subs interfering annoying plz help
@@jtunez355 I don't pull signal from factory sub wiring, I found the color wiring diagram for 14 srt Jeep with HK. Pulled the signal from front door speakers. Sounds like your trying to pull signal after it's factory amplifier from oem sub.
I just changed the battery on my 2016 grand Cherokee limited and the passenger seat doesn’t have to come out. If you move it all the way up and forward you have enough space and room to pull the battery up and out it it’s a little awkward lifting angles but it’s definitely doable took me less that 15 min.
So, I just tried this on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee SRT. I took a feed from the factory sub wires as per the video, and used it to power the high-level input (basically in an-built LOC on the amp) on a Sony Xplod 1000W amp. Everything was working great in the garage, really good bass. However, when I went for a test drive, I was getting very loud random bass notes that would last for 2-3 secs. Even with the volume turned down completely on the stereo. Seems a few others have had this issue as well performing similar setups and have attributed it to the Active Noise Cancelling system in the SRTs. Interested to know if you have experienced similar? Seems the guidance is to use an after-market PAC harness and avoid tapping into the speaker wiring to avoid this type of issue.
I did not run into this issue, but again, I used a separate LOC than what comes in the amp. I've heard others using the harness you mentioned before, but using a separate LOC saved about $150 and I got the same result.
thank you very much this video helps alot now i know the back panel pops out after you pull the clip out and pop out the panel change the amp or subwoofer i was wondering where was that located
@@MaxBeecher i had added kicker amp for my 2 channel for the intera speakers tell me why when the green light is on it get hot. after 30 min game playing but now my push start don't work in jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 2012 i have re program the key
Nice Video, I got a question you grab the Signal from the Factory Subwoofer But there is a low and high pass Filter for the Factory sub how Deep goes this Signal i would like to have Some low Bass on the new Subwoofer will it works? sorry for My Bad english Greetings from Germany
Hey! So the factory subwoofer is a dual voice coil, meaning all 4 wires are low. I hooked all 4 from the subwoofer up to my line output converter and it works perfectly! The lows are pretty low!!
Hey what’s up bro, do we need to disconnect the preamp being that we are installing a amp for the mids and highs ? by the way you have a great RU-vid channel bro.
I never disconnected the preamp, but I also didn't install an amp for the mids and highs, only the subs. You could keep the preamp connected and just do the same process i did here, but using signal from the mids/highs but I think they make wiring kits to remove the preamp, and add your own amps.
The first thing you did wrong is not install the PAC Amp Pro. Not sure why people don’t do their research before they install and then make a video so other people will do the wrong thing as well. Guys it’s 2020 there are factory integration pieces for almost every vehicle so you get the best sound quality possible. Do not use line converters anymore!!
I did do research. Didn't really feel like spending $350 for something I can do for $89 myself. I've installed LOC's on several vehicles and have had absolutely zero issues or anyone return to fix anything.
Okay question since I’ve watched your newer videos and was able to tap into the back sun with an loc made by metra and had my single sun working with my factory but now after a month or so my front two speakers lost power have any ideas as why? Randomly they’ll cut in when I restart the car but one typically works and the other won’t then they swap
I'm wondering if maybe running the factory sub with an aftermarket amp and sub, is causing more draw on the factory amp (to feed the aftermarket amp), so it's pulling power from the front speakers.
@@MaxBeecher bet & noted sorry for the grammar errors previously but I’ll check my wiring and the fuses and let you know if I find a fix thanks for the info.
I had zero issues with any other sounds in the car as the wiring was straight from the subwoofer wiring, so it didn't interfere with chimes or reverse audio.
I have a question about the two wires you unplugged at time frame -16:08 in your video, what exactly are those plugs for and what do they give power to? Also your video helped me install my two 12 subs and amp very easily!
Those are hatch sensors! If you leave them unplugged (which I've done) your button to close the hatch will not work!! And I'm glad I was able to help you!!
@@MaxBeecher I don't see why your video didn't get a million views if it helps I will post the link in all the wk2 and trackhawk/ SRT Jeep groups on Facebook Keep up the great vids bro!
can anybody find me a wiring diagram for 2012 srt jeep harman kardon subwoofer the factory sub. i want to connect a line converter don’t know what’s colors fo go what
@@tanaisapimp you should be able to splice a remote line off of the rear power accessory charging port in the trunk. There should be a picture of a key on it, which means it only has power when your key is either on accessory or on. I show that in the second video.
@@MaxBeecher thanks for the reply. Good info. I am putting 2 Sundown X v3’ 12s in. How did you mount the amp. I may have a few questions later on the install.
So installed a lci2 into a 2018 jeep Cherokee srt with factory HK system i deleted the factory sub took it out powerd lci2 and used the 4 inputs from factory sub im getting interference 2-3 bass notes frm subs with radio on or off it will do this tryn to figur this out again im using a lci2
I hate to say it, but the LoC-22 by JL Audio is the only one I've had good luck with. I did use an LCi2 before and it did have some issues. You might have the gain or input turned up on the LCi2 too high. What is your bass set at on your radio?
@@MaxBeecher everything on the head unit is on halfways normal i havent tried tuning the lc2i the knobs are also half ways diald in i see u did use the jl loc
@@jtunez355 honestly man I'd try turning the bass on the head unit down, and maybe messing with the knobs on the LCi2. There has to be a good way to set them. I had been using one and within a month it had stopped working, but that was in a different vehicle.
