In this video I try to show how you can wire a sub and amp into the trunk without cutting or splicing any factory wiring.

@@tenkay7536 he connected the Line Output Converter (LOC) to the speakers. The most common ones I see are LC2i or Kicker KEYLOC. You have to tap into both because you would be missing any bass from songs that only play bass on the left or right

Yesssssssss. I finally have what I wanted. Everyone that wants a d.s.p. also along with their amp too get the real power from the headunit no need too look further. Check out the kicker key 500.1. It has a built in dsp. You just play 2 tones through it too set up and it brings the missing bass needed. I have in my 2022 accord sport along with my single 12 inch comp r 500 watts at 1 ohm and the kicker amp 500@1ohm. Took a couple minutes too run the setup on the amp and it's insane.

You said you tapped into both speakers, i saw in other videos where they tapped into one. They butt connected the white and grey with a speaker wire into the positive of one speaker, and black stripped wires into the negative of that same speaker. Since you said you used both, how did you do it? Did you butt connect everything separately ?

Def upgrade the amp kit too a ofc kit like kicker or fosgate and you will notice a difference. I'm 44 and used too do installs all the time for fun. I now have a 2022 accord sport and just want a little extra bass so I'm installing a kicker comp 12 on a kicker monoblock amp giving 300 watts rms @2 ohms too match the 2 ohm 300 rms sub. Plus a kicker amp kit. Cannot wait

Yes the wires will all need extended, I used some crimp connectors and heat shrink to do it. To tap into the factory speakers you can use a spade connector, there is a slot on the inside of the factory connectors that you can wedge them in to make contact. hope that helps.

I have the same rca adapter, I'm confused on how you got the remote of it ? Did you connect the (brown) ground wire ? Or did you run a remote wire from the fuse panel if so what fuse did you use?
@HumbleAcres
@HumbleAcres 4 жыл бұрын
On the adapter there are six wires two for left speaker, two for right speaker, one ground and one remote. hook the positive and negative left and right speaker wires to the speakers in the car, the ground wire goes to ground on the car and the remote wire goes to the remote terminal on the amp. There are versions of the adapter that don't have the remote.

I've seen a lot of folks doing this but keep two things in mind, first the factory wiring in these Honda/Acura's are very very thin so there's potential to damage the harness running through the firewall already. Second, you'll be running your power wire over and around the steering and other moving parts under the dash so be very mindful (some kits give you only 20 feet of power wire and routing it like this might leave you short at the trunk). There's a really good spot to drill a hole on the upper left side of the drivers side firewall up about 6-8 inches from the footrest.

Did my install last night on my 2022 accord sport. Ha e a 12 inch kicker comp. Powered by a kicker cx400.1. Doesn't rattle my trunk and u cannot really tell I have anything outside of the vehicle but inside it sounds ok. I probably should've tapped into the front speakers instead too make it more powerful?? I'm not sure.

@@jeffd3802 did u tap into the factory sub? There’s a factory DSP curve that can be flattened in the developer menu, but if you’re just doing a sub I’d leave that alone. The rear speakers get a little more mid bass than the front. If your trying to boost the sun frequencies you might want to consider a DSP or something similar but that being said it’s a lot of $$$ for only subs.
