2016 BBP audio build

There are a lot of peeps here asking questions and since I didn't go this route I haven't really been able to fully answer all of their questions. I think if you post the finished product of how they get wired in and plugged into the deck they will really appreciate it. Thanks man!!

 

My plan is to use the speaker wires comin off the harness and connect it to speedwire. Run the speed wire to an audio control lc7i which is a LOC. Then RCA cables from the LOC to the amp. Going to run new speaker wires to all the speakers and running from the amp.

Does this quick crappy drawing I did help?! I'll have more pics of the completed Metra harness soon.

 

Yeah definitely will do. I plan on taking my time installing all this as I'm popping my cherry, so it might not be fast enough for some. Harness will at least be finished soon for people to see.

 

You are as good of an artist as I am. Haha. I totally understand it but I think once you post the finished harness it will turn some light bulbs on. I think I'm going to replace my kicker xzsum8 with an lc7i as well. The kicker sound processor has been nothing but a pain in the ass.

 

I feel like you are doing very well for an audio install 1st timer.

 

You and I are at the same point in the process for our builds and using the same wiring parts.

 

You guys are making me want to go back ad rewire my setup. Haha, guys like us can never just leave shit alone.

Wrong Metra harness. Needs to be the one that plugs into the headunit

 

Good eye, they did hook the speed wire to the wrong end

 

Where are you guys getting the pin out/wire configuration? It looks like what I've been planning to do is really similar to solscooter, except I'll just be running the high level inputs directly into both of my amps. The one directly accepts high level inputs and the other came with RCA's that you can solder or crimp onto the high levels.

 

It's been posted in this section a few times. Here ya go.

 

Didn't thank you in my thread, but thanks! Would've felt like a complete idiot with my dash torn apart staring at that connector wondering wtf was I thinking, lol

 

No worries. I'm sure you would've figured it out eventually.

 

What speaker adapters is everyone running?

 

DIY 3/4" MDF adapters. coated with waterproof paint.

 

I just went with metra speaker adapters

 

The plastic ones? They looked kinda cheap to me

 

They work just fine. I wrapped them in dynamat too

 

I'll be following this thread pretty closely. I just purchased all new speakers from @Mrmarv along with an enclosure and amp. He's really helpful on pretty much everything. Still trying to figure out if I am going to want to attempt to install this myself or just pay someone who knows what they are doing.
