@@tracehelms569 yeah but like do you know what number fuse it’s in? I put mine in the ign ipc sdm which is number 33. is that the ignition fuse? Nothing directly says ignition like my old gmc
i have a 2015 same as yours 8 inch screen no bose and i’m curious as what you did with the ground/negative wire mines just hooked up to a factory ground spot?
So with this you just run your power to the batter and hook up to your door wiring without ever having to touch the back of the radio ? How’s the sound quality ?
I may try this. Trying to put two 8 skar evl subs in my 15 silverado. Some dude saying he will build me a harness to hook up to the radio for $250. That's why I am here fk that lol
Go get a line output converter for like $20 and tap into a speaker, and run ur RCAs to that, unless you want to do it the hard way and pull out the radio and all that
@tracehelms569 nah I'm trying to ball on a budget as well lol thanks for the video man. I'm gonna rip apart my truck soon to see what things look like
okay so what you're saying is they ran the remote turn on wire from that fuse on the driver side to the amp so every time you turn the ignition the amp and subs automatically come on?? My son is trying to do this with his truck and we keep seeing all these super confusing videos as if we have to take the radio out. you seem like yours is way simpler. could you maybe text me the list of how things are ran fully. or comment, whatever one works best for you
So your power wire from battery goes straight to amp. So does ground. Your line output converter (I called it the rca converter) is what you use to tap into a speaker to get signal of music so you don’t have to take radio out. Your RCA cables will go from that converter to the amp L and R order doesn’t matter I don’t think one is to left sub one is to right. Your remote wire just sends signal to ur amp telling ur when to cut on and off so you don’t drain battery
Send me your number if you need to, I went thru heck trying to figure out how to get my stuff done right, I’ve now done 5 other vehicles and our boat all with no problems
Let’s hear the system also having both positive and negative together into another wire doesn’t make since to me why wouldn’t they seperate it for a better connection as positive to positive negative to negative.. i have a 2014 silverado LT and was looking into wiring up an amp and sub
I’m not exactly sure, but I think you can do it either way whether it’s both positives on one side or you run wires to the left and the right door speakers to tap into. This was done by an audio place I took it to. I just posted the video so people knew how to wire one up.
I will upload a video of them soon but if you have the non-bose, as I do the rca converter wiring will be the exact same and everything else is pretty easy as far as the power and ground and speaker wires
@@tracehelms569 I have them all wired up and still won’t get any response from my sub, the amp is on so I know my power wire, ground, and remote wire are all good. I have tried for hours to trouble shoot it, you have any ideas why it wouldn’t be working?
Update... I installed this the exact same way and absolutely nothing happened.... The line output converter needs power.. I figured it did but since this guy's "professional" did it for him I figured I would just take his advice
I agree 100% this video is not helpful? I did the same thing on a 14 Silverado and it sounds horrible the blue wire does give you 12 volt to turn the amp on and off the ground wire doesn't need to be connected but I've never heard of connecting a positive and negative together on one side the two Greys and connecting a positive and negative together on the other side the two whites it sounds horrible tomorrow I'm going to take it apart and do it as the back of the Box gives the information so sorry I followed this video
Thanks dude you made it way easier. System coming today will return here when it’s installed
Yessir I’ve actually installed a few myself now, so I’m learning more as I go
@@tracehelms569 do you remember what number fuse you ran the tap to? I can’t figure this fuckin diagram out🤣
@@jerrycan8333 mines wired to an ignition fuse so it my amp only comes on with the key
It’s the panel that’s beside the 4wd/headlight controls to the left of it
@@tracehelms569 yeah but like do you know what number fuse it’s in? I put mine in the ign ipc sdm which is number 33. is that the ignition fuse? Nothing directly says ignition like my old gmc
So the positive and negative wires are connected together? Wouldn’t it be both sides positive and negative connected together ?
Exactly correct both positives and both negatives together that makes perfect sense😊
@@djadrian9318how’d you wire it up
I just wanted to ask do you really connect positive and negative together? Wonder why you couldnt get a correct input signal from a rear door speaker?
Let me know please
I’ve the same question, cuz I connected everything just like he said and it doesn’t make any noise, the amplifier is on by the way
Do you know if one of those wires in the pillar are a 12volt power wire?
i have a 2015 same as yours 8 inch screen no bose and i’m curious as what you did with the ground/negative wire mines just hooked up to a factory ground spot?
I think they ground wasn’t even used… you can use to ground out any extra noise is what I’ve been told, I’ve since sold this truck but it sounded good
So with this you just run your power to the batter and hook up to your door wiring without ever having to touch the back of the radio ? How’s the sound quality ?
Yes, you do not have to pull the radio out and mess with anything back there, and the quality sounds good as it should be
Do you know how long of a power wire you needed ?
So you don't have to hook up the power wires on the LOC??
The black wire doesn't need to be connected to ground I know the blue wire is to turn your amplifier on and off
This helped tromendosly thanks bud
Hey! How did you run the power wire from under the hood?
Ran it from battery across engine bay and down into the rubber boot that comes out inside the truck, used zip ties where needed
I may try this. Trying to put two 8 skar evl subs in my 15 silverado. Some dude saying he will build me a harness to hook up to the radio for $250. That's why I am here fk that lol

Do you need power to the loc? It dosnt look like you have anything to power it on
This particular loc doesn’t have to have the the power wire connected but I know some do
@@tracehelms569 so does it turn the amp on as soon as it senses the speakers are playing?
@@ethanhowe4794 my remote wire to the amp is wired to an ignition fuse under my dash so didn’t have to use it on the rca converter

You need two different converters or just one ?
Just one
Where they put the remote to amp
Mine is ran to the ignition fuse
