![]() ![]() My follow up question refers to #3 in your response. Do not use butt connectors.Good info here, thank you! If you have already purchased an non-built harness, solder all of your connections. Highly recommend picking up a fully build for-11ck harness from Hush. It's dated technology and completely unnecessary. It adds absolutely nothing to your system. You need to get ALL of your signal from the front left and right channels. The signal out of the headunit has no eq applied. ]Pioneer TS-D65F Coaxial Speakers (rear)Īaron1. ]Pioneer TS-Z65CH Component Speakers (front) *** ]Pioneer 10 inch Shallow Mount Subwoofer *** ]Pioneer 10 inch Shallow Mount Sealed Box It is almost certain the Dayton 408 will be recommended and it is an easy upgrade. I'm fairly certain that the genius folks that will have shown up by now or will shortly will recommend doing LOC along with other intuitive options. The 11ck links all the components together. Doing this, you can change out the other speakers as well. I assume your 5 channel amp has support for a non powered sub so, it may be more advantageous to install your 11ck and your amp. As for you already having the 11ck, I would not go the route you are asking about. This is a simplistic explanation of how I did mine but, taking as long as I did allowed me to concentrate on each new upgrade and eliminate most of the problems that can arise doing it.Īs to your sub wiring, I initially connected mine up by splicing into the rear speakers which was OK at the time. The extra wiring and the use of the 11ck wasn't necessary until I had those two last components. The next step I made was to change out all the other seven speakers to aftermarkets, an amp and then, a DSP. I didn't intend to end up with what I have now but, by starting with the install of the JL powered sub, it go me interested in how much more I could improve the sound and that started the journey that took more than a year to get to the system I currently have. I had somewhat of a similar experience when I started out adding to my stock system. ![]() I think those are my most outstanding questions. Finally, what tools and wiring accessories should I get? Is there a good crimping/cutting tool that will fit all my needs yet be cost efficient? What about connectors? I have a voltmeter, but is there anything else that I could pick up that would help tune without breaking the bank? Is there anything in my list that you would recommend changing for any reason? Anything I should add? If so, why?Ħ. Is that close enough or am I putting my components at risk?ĥ. My amp suggest a 100A fuse (the amp itself has 3 30A fuses) but my wiring kit came with a 120A fuse. From what I have seen, the stock 16 gauge speaker wire should be sufficient for up to 100 watts RMS. With my current items, where should I get signal for the subwoofer? Would it be better to tap into rear speakers or should I utilize the connection behind driver side lower trim panel (requiring WPT1212 harness and FORSCAN to activate), or should I just wait until I get the LOC to get the signal from that?ģ. Also, my hope was that I could eliminate system feedback more efficiently with a LOC.Ģ. Do I really need the LOC? The amp has high level inputs, but my thinking was that the LOC will allow more tuning and a better final result. I will be purchasing the speaker wire next and plan to "9 wire" back to the existing (stock) speaker wire out to the door speakers. My current plan is to power the subwoofer only for now, but slowly I will add the listed parts.

I have been doing research for this audio build for a while, and these threads have been a life saver. First, I want to say that I'm thankful for this forum and all its helpful threads. ![]()
