2016 BBP audio build

looks like an amp i used in my previous application. i have already done the kicker dash tweeter upgrade. i went with the 6 3/4 cs series in the rear. i have a pioneer 5 channel amp i will run with my marv box once it gets here.

 

well i have my (2) 9 wire sets wired up. Hopefully its correct, Lol. I tied the remote wire from each set into the key on power.

 

The nice thing is, if it's backwards you just have to swap them at the LC7i and the amp.

 

i have each set of 9 wires labled on each end. So that shouldnt happen

 

Let me know if you ever get your box, been waiting since Feb, last week he said he forgot but has one done and will ship with woofer. No response to texts since then. No sub or box still, paid invoice in March really close to PayPal dispute.

 

I'm sure it will be there before you know it. @Mr Marv Is a really stand up guy. Your box will be worth the wait.

I'm guessing you got your box from him.

 

How is everything going on your install @paxton306 ?

 

marv is the man, He is a one man operation that takes helping people to the next level. Let it ride, he won’t disappoint. He gets an unbelievable amount of texts and calls.

 

You hit the nail on the head

 

You guys are right of course, deploying and wanted to hear it at least once before I leave but it's all good. He called today to say he will provide the shippers info and apologized for dropping the ball.

 

He is a dying breed man.

 

power wire and 9 wires are ran. just waiting on my Marv box to so i can mount the amp and loc.

 

Nice!! I can't wait to see and hear how it turns out.

 

same here. im debating if i should go ahead and wire everything up and just do a temporary mount.

 

That's what I've been doing for the past few months, might as well enjoy amplified door speakers while you wait

 

Trying to wire sub now. I have my front and rear speakers connected to the amp (soundstream nano 640d) on channel 1-4 via high level input. I did not wire an input for channel 5, the sub channel when making my speedwire as I have never done this before and assumed that the amp would magically know what I wanted to do and convert some of those inputs over for the sub.

So how are you guys that did speaker level inputs getting an input signal for the sub? Do you just jumper in a wire into the back rear speakers on the speedwire (4 wires total that need to be soldered into speedwire coming from the radio)?

Marvs box looked good to go, sub already wired for 2 with quick connector on side of box so my output side should be good.

 

Can you snap a pic of the amp so I can see the connections?

 

my amp had a switch to select 4 channel input. it sums and then outputs a 5th for the sub. might be time to get a new amp to make this easier on yourself

 

I used a line out convertor since my amp didn't have speaker level input. It did exactly what you said, pulled the sub from the rear signal.

If you don't want to replace the entire amp you can run the speedwire to this instead.

Easy fix, ran off the rears and signal worked. Worst part was the amp has these weird connections you have to run into. I had to cut the RCA adapter they provide, solder jumpers to that then solder into the input harness I made (put it at the end so I can still cut/change someday). Box from Mr. Marv is beautiful of course, will definately give it a proper coat when I'm done moving this week.

As a side note, the alumnium MOLLE panel rattles like a 96 honda civic licence plate frame. Rest of the truck sounds great with the CLD,CCF,MLV and expanding foam. Working on tuning now, set the fronts to take everything past 50 and sub everything below 50 for now since I don't have time to mess with it. That little 200 amp is amazing for the size/price point so I will forgive the extra hassle on the inputs.
