How did you get your remote wire ? I don’t want to cut the original wire from the factory and the aftermarket one doesn’t have a blue or blue and white cable ? How do I get the remote wire to work ?
If it’s the lc21 pro then no because it has built in resisters. If not, audio control has some resistors you could use that are easier to install than the 47 ohm ones from this video www.crutchfield.com/S-iEgsO5PFVSR/p_161ACLGD20/AudioControl-AC-LGD-20.html?XVINQ=GZ0&XVVer=18W2&awcr=628226871294&awdv=m&awnw=g&awug=9021731&awkw=pla-837273191696&awmt=&awat=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQiAorKfBhC0ARIsAHDzslu1v6_Xt5xr_NUHn_wsqD8cTebEZAjlcZu77Kf9m7kGpIZXCbuouQkaAvpNEALw_wcB
Just want to drop a comment and say, make sure you buy those resistors. Make a world of difference. Go to your local audio shop they might have them. Thanks for this video bro. This helped 200%
Does it play well below 30hz and up to 20k hz? Basically, are the speakers you tapped into a full range signal? I'm doing a new setup in my 2015 limited and the last one I tapped into factory amp after its been crossed over and frequency limited so I want to get a full range to run the aunticontrol into a DSP
Did you notice a massive difference from the stock speakers? I want to power up my new pillar tweeters and 6x9s but im not sure how much it'll help. What's the RMS on your amps?
Very good video. Have you noticed anything different at all, like warning chimes or hands free audio malfunctions? Also do you have ANC and if so, do you notice anything different with it? Thanks
I don’t have ANC but I’ve heard ANC causes problems. Can easily be disconnected though. I lost rear back up chimes cus I only used front two channels. Ended up going back and using all 4 channels
Did you just put front and rear driver together and front and rear passenger together and hook into LC together as 2 wires in each speaker input? Did you find.the need to upgrade battery, charging system, or add power cap?
@@BigStuDolla91 bro great video man probably the best I’ve seen. Good explanation. With using high level output did you still keep the dummy load resistors?
Do you know if you found any positive switched power wire on the stock head unit, for the remote wire? But great install and really helpful for my install.
Hey brother, I have two questions! With doing this you pretty much are eliminating the factory amp and replacing it with a better one to get more power out of your speakers still running the original Uconnect radio? I have a 12” sub installed, and every time the car is off and for example I open the door to get something; the sub will turn on and go crazy if I don’t turn on the jeep right away. Do you know how I can fix that? Btw you have an is Instagram account? Thanks 🙏🏽
Hey so I have the stock speakers system with no factory amp. However this would have bypassed it anyway. I think u might have active noise canceling or something going on. Not sure but your picking up noise from somewhere. Maybe a turn on noise? I know with my system I haven’t had this problem
So i ordered the lc2i pro and do i run it the same way? Even for the woofers idk if my 4 channel amp has a passthrough function for my second amp how would i go about that
Sick video bro. I got the lc2i currently just running the sub output to my sub amp. But i would like to add an amp for the highs would i use ur same diagram or can u draw me up one?
Same diagram should work. The lc2i should already have a “main channel” just plug that into the highs amp and set it to 2vhannel input. This will copy the input to all four channels. Also, audiocontrol has “load sensors” that plug directly into the loc. I like these better than the way I did in the video
@@BigStuDolla91 okok, ya i figured to use the main channel for the new amp, since i had tapped into my rear speakers i wasnt sure if i had to tap into my front speakers to send to the loc as well
@@dnthateme559 I would tap the fronts. The front are full range so you get bass and highs. The rear have bass rolloff which means the bass won’t keep increasing when you turn up the volume
That stock charging system is adequate to power that setup. I had a setup in my grand Cherokee before I sold it and the only thing I upgraded was a battery battery under the seat., now I'm about to do one in my daily driver, a 2013 Durango, using the RF prime r2 1200.1 and a pair of R2 500.4
Any issues with using Bluetooth for calls? I just put the LC7i in my Grand Cherokee. I can play music through Bluetooth but now I can’t make calls anymore 🤔
Have you experienced a speaker losing power after connecting a line output converter? I tapped into my rear speakers in my 21' Jeep Grand Cherokee and now one side of my rear speakers is not providing any voltage. What am I doing wrong?
It's really strange. After I got my system all hooked up, my amplifier wasn't turning on. So I took a multimeter and found one side of the speakers I tapped into wasn't providing any power. So then I tested the LOC with the speakers that were providing power by running both the wires off that speaker and the amp turns on. When I turn the vehicle off, the door speaker that was working and providing signal to the amplifier stops working and the other side (door speaker) starts working.
@@mrmaxjr I was bouncing around between. I’ve had like 4-5 systems in this car. Rockford amps are the best though but cost too much for the amount of power I need.
@@ceavalencia4767 I kinda ran into the same thing. Like I’m not sure if it gives you extra plug ins for the speakers or something? The downside is it’s vehicle specific so you can’t take it car to car in the future.

@@fernandolozano2355 I once fixed this using a loc that had a setting for ground noise. The resistor is so that the radio thinks a speaker is connected otherwise it will mute that channel.
Exactly how do you expect the radio to send out a signal? U do realize the radio mutes any channel it doesn’t read a resistance on right? Or are you too busy talkin out your ass to know this?
Ok I have a 2016 ram with the alpine system and it has the factory amp. How would I go about doing this on my truck. So many shops told me it can't be done because if the factory amp don't sense the speakers they won't turn on
I would splice behind the radio. The radio cuts signal if it doesn’t see a load, this shouldn’t be contingent on the amp. Just wire in a load before the amp.
