So I got around to installing my AMP and HiLo convertor today.
I tapped into the front door speaker wires from the bose amp. Soldered them and taped them up. Ran the speaker wire from the passenger side to the drivers side under the center console.
Laid out the locations of the AMP and AudioControl LC2i hi lo converter. I did not want anything directly behind the floor vent.
Had to remove the battery to gain access to the engine harness grommet. I cut off the nipple from the engine bay side and there is a hole already on the firewall side. Fed 4g wire through and down the drivers side.
All finished and installed. I used the seat bolt as a ground. I tried to make it as clean as possible. The LC2i requires power and ground which i grabbed from the amp and put a 1amp fuse on the power. the LC2i has a remote out option so I ran that to the amp. I cut some slits in the carpet to tuck some of the wires.
This is the view with the front seat all the way forward. The AMP and LC2i controls are accessible, which is why I mounted them that way. should be out of foot kicking range with the seat all the way back
I installed the gain control knob for the LC2i in the useless cubby. Allows easy access to gain control.
I I hooked up my 12" Kenwood speaker just to test it out and damn it sounds good. I did not play with the settings yet or tune the accubass which helps in correcting the factory level that takes bass out as you raise the volume.
Dropped the car off at the stereo shop to have a custom fiberglass box built in the rear drivers side cubby. I have a JL audio 10TW3 that will go in the box. I will post photos when I get it back.
