- Here is a final video on my complete install on a 2015 Mustang GT while keeping the factory headunit. Sounds amazing. I have two kicker comp 12s. A boss amp. And the Lc2i LOC. Ran the speakers in parallel wiring since my amp is a monoblock. Tied into the positive and negative on the right and left speakers into the Lc2i. Fortunately, there is a way to get through the firewall without drilling a hole to get from the 12v battery on the passengers side. Ran my hot wire through there. The ground wire to the seat bolt. Added some L clamps so the box stays in place. First 2015 mustang install I've seen. Thinking about youtubing this video. Like I said it sounds great. I've not blown any fuses which I expected as a first time installer. So I had no shorts and no errors. Altogether took me 5-6 hours in a two day span. Thanks for looking.
Great video and explanation. Just got an LC2i with and amp and 2 10’s for my fusion and visually seeing how it’s wired helps a ton.
Damn took me forever to figure out how to run the power to this damn thing. Thank you for your video
Jus bought 2020 GT so this definately helped
This video helped me a ton thanks brotha
How did you change the background pic on your dash that’s pretty cool.
Great vid I'm gonna do a vid also since the premium sub setup videos are needed on here great job
Same car are you using stock car alternator and battery? Im planning to put 2 10s with 3k amp
Did you just use a jumper hot wire from where your battery hot is on amp to the LCI2?
Yeah I did, it works awesome
I know this is a few years old. But how did you change the background on head unit. Thanks
Hey! You have to download the image to a USB drive, resize the image before you transfer to the drive, then just plug it into your usb drive in the center. There’s a really good tutorial on the forums
Im sorry, but him saying his cold air intake makes 35 more hp is the funniest part of the video 🤣🤣🤣
How expensive is this process?
Bro how did you fit 12s box
How did you fit it in the trunk I have 2 12”s I can’t get the box in the trunk! :)
It would be nice to see your triple clamp on the battery
You have done just simply great. It is just that the setup is not clean enough. I mean it's just the little thing. You can ignore this anyway. Never mind. 👍👍👍👍👍
Getting a mustang Gt premium. I have a Audio control LCq 1 should i connect to the wires from the back of the radio or to the wires after the factor amp for the signal
KINGKJ2REAL I spliced mine in with the rear speaker wires in the deck. Much easier and it's full range sound as well.
God that wiring... Jesus.
BigDwiz tested that Boss amp and it barely made 200 watts rms. He later destroyed the amp out of disgust by shorting it out internally.
The moral is that those subs could give you so much more with an amp that can properly drive them. The amp doesn't need to be a fancy brand name, just something that can actually give the subs the RMS they are designed to handle, the Boss armor 4000d puts out 800 watts rms into 2 ohms or 1200 watts rms into 1 ohm.
-The Planet Audio anarchy AC2500.1M will put out 250 watts rms into 4 ohms or 400 watts rms into 2 ohms. Both amps are priced very low and offer good performance for the money.
Pioneer and Rockford offer some very reasonably priced monoblocks that meet their advertised rms ratings if you have a little extra to spend.
What head unit is that?
Not the ideal song ?? Thats heat🔥
You would be way happier with JL Audio W7 series speakers instead of Kicker. They are much more money but the happiness level goes up exponentially. Just the same, you could have bought an Ecoboost, but you spent a fortune more on a GT and that cold air intake + Bama tune was expensive. Spend the extra money on top of the line speakers. You will freak out when you hear the bass difference. It's like driving an Ecoboost compared to a 5.0. Night and day difference. Put in two 12W7's and that car will BANG HARD. You should also put black wire loom on the power wire coming off the battery, just the way it is on most wires from the factory on other wiring harnesses. I used to get loom at Radio Shack. You'll have to get it elsewhere now.
How did you mount the amp and loc to the back seat? Velcro or screws
Good vid how did you learn how to do this? I’ve got the lc2i 2 Ken woods 12s and Ken wood 1k amp, like to hook it up myself in my Lincoln MKZ
awesome video, I am trying to wire up my subs in my 2017 f150 without removing the headunit so i will also be purchasing a lc2i. The only thing I'm confused on is where the speaker wires come from (also is it 2 wires or does it have to be 4?) and where do the power wires come from? I noticed you used the thick wire from the battery to the amp, but then howd you power the lc2i and vice versa?
nevermind figured most of it out by rewatching the video a shit ton, but now all i need to know is what guage wire are you running from the amp power wire to the LC2i power in? its not that same guage as the power wire from the battery to the amp right? Also, What if I dont have 2 rear speakers to tap into, could I just use the one? I imagine it plays the same low range that your two deck speakers play
Max Laguna yes you can I saw someone else ran it like that
So how do you get your rear speakers to send signal to the LC2I converter?
What gauge wire are you running to your amp and ground? I cant really tell from the video but I would suggest at least 4 gauge if you arent already it does make a difference.
Im using the LC2i as well its a good product.
hes running a boss amp so he aint running much power at all. 4 would be more than plenty for that amp. its a realy low end amp not powerful at all.
Do u have your subwoofer speaker wire connected to your lc2i?
Be sure to tune the lc2 for bass drop-off otherwise it doesn't do what you paid for it to do
Damm bro I have the amp I thought it was dead but come to find out it was installed hella shyty so I bought and fosgate amp thinking it was my amp and I ran all new wires myself so yesterday I said let hook up the boss amp and that thing came on a was hitting hard nice set up bro
Awesome video man! Definitely helped me but I’m stumped! I’ve got a loc but don’t know what speaker wires are - and which ones are +
thank you bro for the info
Where did you run the remote wire from? Is there one in the speaker wiring harness or do I have to do it through a fuse box?
How do you put the back seats downn????
How did you change background on head unit
Were did you get the input for the lc2i from rear speakers?
Why spend all the money and then crap out on the amp.
Chris Moore it’s all kicker now loo
y yall hating on Boss? I just got the ar3000m. driving a skar audio ddx 10 1000w rms, just want to add some low to my sound system. plus pockets are tight. dont hate!!
@@greg0716 boss is complete shit LMFAO. Don't get me wrong to just get a little cheap setup it's better then nothing. But don't think that amp is pushing anywhere near that 1000w Rms. More like 150-200rms.
What did you run the remote wire to ?
Sounds good though bud.
Has a $60 LOC, but a $50 amp. Wut
GhilleGhille haha the box, kickers, and amp came in a package. Once I'm done doing exterior stuff to the car I'm going to throw an alpine amplifier on it 💪🏼
How much did you pay for the amp, kickers, and box? Hopefully not more than $200 my friend.
GhilleGhille I believe it was 200 free shipping and a 1200 watt wiring kit. So box, wiring, 2 12s and an amp. Free shipping.
Good, if you bought that from an actual car audio shop, you could've been looking at $400 maybe. Here's what I would do. New amp. Look into the Pioneer GM series. Great bang for your buck. Build a custom box or buy one. If the wiring kit isn't OFC, get OFC. Other than that, nice ride. I'm looking into the LC2i, but not sure if the Accubass distorts the signal. I'm gonna be upgrading to 2 FiDay 15's. 2 15's 350wRMS each on a GM-8601 that will put out 800wRMS. I had 2 P3 12s on the amp and they slammed, so when my 15's get on it, they will be a little overpowered. It's a budget system really, $99 a sub from Fi is a great deal.
GhilleGhille yeah I'll check that out. I know of pioneer didn't know they had a different series out. I ended up installing a coupler kicker 6.5s in each door with a kicker amp. It sounds great right now. But, I'm ready for stronger bass. I plugged in the bass rca's into the smaller kicker amp and it hit harder than the bigger boss amp did. So I know it'll sound great when I get a second better brand amp
Did the Box fit in there easy?
Did you install coaxial or component 6.5's?
Always power your front stage . It is essentially for you, if you are going to add another amp
s burton thanks I will deff do that when the time comes up. I'm really impressed with how the stock amp is powering my door speakers. 200w max 6.5s it's not too bad. But when I want more I'm going to have to do a lot of work
Have you upgraded yet?
I am looking to do the same exact setup with LC2i. Do you think adding an epicenter to the mix will give any benefit in restoring bass on old songs that don’t have a lot of bass?
all late but yes but on bass heavy songs you won’t need the epicenter up
Did you splice off the rear deck speaker wire and tap on it the wire going to LC2i's speaker input??
Ekaj Oabil yes I installed from the rear speakers L&R positive and negatives
JokerMustang Fiveoh Great!! Is there a difference if i tap it on my front speaker??
Ekaj Oabil I thought of the same thing. But, I was told from a professional at Best Buy that it doesn't matter in this year of mustang. All the speakers from and back receive the same signal. So basically, to do from the front and run it to the back would just be longer speaker wire if you are putting your amp and lC2i in the back seat.
Front and back^ receive the same signals
JokerMustang Fiveoh one single pair of spkr to the inputs of LC2i will just be fine??
Hey you do know that the GTO function of the LC2i is a remote turn off function already, right? You didnt need to run that remote wire. At least that's what they say
David Lynch GTO is remote turn ON so it knows when to turn on when it gets signal from the speaker wire inserted from his rear speakers. He’s using the remote OUT to turn on his amp with his lc2i.
@@vkProdigY yeah I ended up having to do the same lol. The damn amp kept turning off after a few seconds of being on.
David Lynch yeah man at least u got it to work lol there’s a lot to car audio
David Lynch yeah the remote out to the remote in of the amp will turn it on and off, pretty convenient
if i change my stock speakers with higher wattage speakers, will they sound weak since theyre not being pushed 50 watts?
greg0716 you want to try and match your rms from the amp with the rms of the speaker, if you cannot remember there is about a 70% rule, for example if you are wanting to push 100rms try to go for an amp that is at least pushing 70rms this will give you the best clarity and you will get the full potential out of what your speaker is capable of,
clean!!! why change the amp to kicker if it already sounded so good? Dont let people knock you for rocking Boss amps
Sexy car. I can't get my lc2i to turn on 🤧
Cool I was wondering if you was to install the lc2i would it work with an aftermarket unit...nice 🤙
If your going aftermarket unit you won’t need a line out converter. They would have built in outputs
Are you going to make how to videos of any upgrades you do on your mustang?
Senator Paranormal Investigations yes plan on making it work as I go!
JokerMustang Fiveoh do you have new speaker wires??i do have new speaker wires installed but now i dont know how if i should cut the speaker wires from the stereo wire harness and just connect it straight to the loc
fifty 9755 I just used the positive and negatives on the left and right speakers , I cut them and crimped in new speaker wire to the loc while I kept my old speaker wire and factory connections to the rear speakers. I cut them about 6 inches before the factory plugs. And that's where I crimped and put everything together.
JokerMustang Fiveoh did you also tap on the rear speaker wires from the stereo and connected them all together to the lc2i?
fifty 9755 just connected at the speakers from the rear. No need to take the stereo out or tap into those wires. The rear speakers are full range which is the same you would be tapping at the stereo, just a whole lot more work and destruction to get the stereo out of the center console. Way easier to just tap and crimp at the rears
Have you experienced any sound distortion by piggybacking the power off of the amp power?
John Parmer none at all. Seems very clue.
How about now? Still no problem?. Battery? Alternator?
Tune that LC2I
Your setup sounds nice. Is that a sealed or ported box? Thank you!
What size ground do i need to run from lc2 to amp?
I used black wire I bought from Walmart, it’s just regular wire and i ran it to the negative ground insert on the amp
You could have just jumped the subs 🤣
What version of sync are you running?
Bruh I can’t find it anywhere! Which wire do you tap into for signal?!?! I can’t find nothing! I just wanna do a amp & a 12” I’ve got the sync 3 big screen too, I wanna leave everything how it is
The LC2 unit takes signal from any speaker. When it gets the signal from the speaker (stereo on), the remote wire from the LC2 sends the remote signal to the amp to turn on. This way, you dont have to open your dash for a remote wire. Also, some factory stereos lower the bass in a signal to the factory soeakers when you raise the volume. The LC2 unit fixes that with tuning adjustments. Makes upgrades using factory stereos and aftermarket amps a breeze. Hope this helps.
Not sure if you still need this information. If you're doing the same exact setup to tap into the rear speakers using an LC2i.
REAR SPEAKERS:
Left Rear
WH/GR + BN/YE -
Right Rear
BN/WH + BN/BU -
If you're using an LC7i, you still need to tap into the front and rear speakers which will allow for you to amplify front, rear, and subs. Just need sure to upgrade all of the interior speakers since they are all crap.
Bro how tf did you get those in the trunk?!!! I have the same car and 2 kicker 12s but i cant get them in....
AestheticsBrahh you have to take out your rear seats out and do it from the inside of the car
@@avr209 really? My Rockford fosgates dual 12s" didnt wanna fit I was messing with it for hours!!
I cant hear a word ur saying on my headphones
no bass
A boss amp 😂😂😂😂😂😂 cmonnn
MR JERRY it’s All kicker now, I just got a good buy on the bundle and couldn’t wait any longer so used the boss amp until I got my kicker amps
Nice!
@@Cstewart_10 ..what watts?/
subs are out of
Get rid of that Boss amp... its junk.
