Hey everyone. I have just purchased a sub, amp and LOC.

After doing a few hours of research I feel I am comfortable with starting the installation. However... I have two questions and was hoping someone can help me .

I was looking at another post:

And pulled this quote out.
I am a little confused by this and probably over thinking it. My first assumption is to mount the LOC near the HU as all the speaker wires converge there. This means I run the RCA cables back to the amp.

Anyone with experience have a suggestion for this?

Looking at the '05 electrical guide (162-163 audio system.pdf), I pulled this out.
RR+ = Red
RR- = White
RL+ = Brown
RL- = Yellow

Therefore, wire the LOC:
R Channel+ to Red
R Channel- to White
L Channel+ to Brown
L Channel- to Yellow

Hope this all makes sense Thanks!

I think I answered most of my questions writing this, but oh well. All comments are appreciated.

 

Yep, that all looks right. The LOC from my experience is usually installed next to the headunit, and is a perfectly good way to do it. Just make sure you dont run the RCA cables and the power cables down the same side of the car.

Good luck with the install and let us know how it goes.

 

Great, thanks for the reply. Tonight after work I'm going to see how to run the power line and map out the rest of the cables.
