I picked up the same amp/sub set up and i wired it up with the factory 1212 plug, very easy. But i didnt have a way to use forscan and 1 of the 3 dealerships that i was able to actual talk to an advisor said $90 and soonest is 2 weeks out...yea screw that. Took a chance and wired it up exactly how you described with the same settings and it works PERFECTLY! thank you so much for making this video. Definitely recommend T-tap connectors for the speaker wires, pretty tight in there.

I cannot begin to tell you how helpful this was!! Thank you for making this video. The only thing I did differently was the speaker location and anchoring the speaker. I too had trouble with the speaker wire reaching the passenger side, so instead of splicing more wire, I moved the speaker to the center of the backseat. That gave me just enough length to reach. I ended up anchoring he speaker to the back bulkhead carpet because everytime I stepped on the brakes, the speaker would flop around.....so annoying. With that said, GREAT VIDEO!!

Butt splices are NOT a hack, that's exactly what you should be using on any automotive wiring. NEVER solder; the constant vibration of a vehicle will eventually cause solder joints to crack. That's why NASA uses crimp splices for spacecraft. You just need to make sure you use a proper crimper and make sure it's the right type for the splice you're using! I had to buy a different crimper for heat-shrink insulated connectors versus non-heat shrink. And always use ratcheting crimpers, they will always provide higher clamping force.

2020 F150 - After I tapped into the Right Rear Speaker wires (+/-), my check engine light comes on, the error states “Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Regulatory: Powertrain Control Module has detected the power relay de-energized earlier than expected”. I followed your video exactly, I triple checked the wiring. Funny thing is, I tested the sub while only Left was wired in, and it sounded great and no engine light. Any thoughts/ideas?

The subwoofer itself is already fused also that line is already fused in the truck. You could always add another fuse but to me it’s overkill.
@gokblok
@gokblok Жыл бұрын
You should. The power wire should be fused within 12 inches of the battery end. The fuse on the amp protects the amplifier internals, and the fuse on the power feed protects the wire itself. A short in cable that large can start a fire pretty quickly, and that battery-end fuse is your protection against that.

I don't understand why people run RCA's from the stereo or tap into speaker speaker wires. There's literally a wiring harnessed in the left side rear pillar. Just get your signal there and run power. It even has a remote turn on wire(blue). You just need a motorcraft wcc 1212 harness plug, Amazon 22 bucks. To use the remote turn on you have to turn it on with forscan or the Ford dealer if you don't have DC offswitch

You sir….are clipping hard. You have your bass boost all the way up and your gains almost half….when using bass boost the gain comes down and if you turn down your bass boost your gain goes up. Play a 40hz test tone, turn your bass knob all the way up then set you bass boost to where ever you want and then start to set your gain, once you hear the bass sound different turn your gains down until it goes away.
