Hi/low converter wiring

RAMnCali · Nov 24, 2010

I'm new to the forum, and haven't found this in any searches, maybe someone can help out. I'm getting ready to install a pair of 10 inch subs in my 2007 Quad Cab, with 7-speaker Infiniti and stock head, and am wondering if there is anywhere I can tap into the rear door speaker lines without taking apart two doors. I'm thinking about where the wires leave the factory amp, and I was wondering if anyone knew 1) if this is possible and 2) the wire colors if it is. Any ideas?

you want to tap into the front doors, the back is already filtered - no bass. In the kick panel on the pass side - thats where you can access the wires. As for color........man, i don't know that one.

Thanks for your help guys, sounds like the perfect location so I can run the RCA down the right side, I found my firewall hole for power on the driver side, so that should work out just fine. Will I find the 12v for remote turn on in that same bundle of wires? I've seen something about not tapping into the CAN data bus but I'm not sure exactly what that is, is that going to be an issue for my turn on lead?

If nobody has answered you by the time I get off work, I'll ask one of my buddies that's MECP certified and see what he says

Found it

I just finished installing my system with my father in law. We were able to hook into the pink/yellow wire under the driver side bolster that is used for the 12volt outlet (cigar lighter), which was perfect because it is on it's own fuse. Tapped into the speakers without much trouble and the 2 10's sound great.

Here's the box; it's an Atrend sealed box from Best Buy.

The subs are a pair of Kenwoods, kfc w2512. They are wired in parallel at 2 ohms.

The amp is a Kenwood kac 8105d, pushing 500 watts rms at 2 ohms. I installed it under the driver's seat, and tucked all the wires into a convenient hole already cut in the carpet by the factory. It is connected to the factory stereo with a Scoche Hi/lo converter, and powered by an EFX 8 ga amp kit from Crutchfield.

It came out pretty nice, considering my constraints. It had to be very budget friendly (about $400 total spent) and I wanted it to be undercover and balanced with the stock Infiniti system. After setting levels and fine tuning the Hi/lo input levels, it sounds pretty good with no loss of bass at high volume. So far, I would recommend all of the components I am using.
