I bought this box in the packaged version that came with two 10” Rockford Fosgate R2 subs, all the cables / hardware, the amplifier and output converter this June (2022) and I couldn’t be more impressed. These videos were really helpful. I would just say to make sure you slow down and have the right tools. A breaker bar was nice for removing the back seat since the bolts have thread locker on them. But the install was very straight forward. Super super quality product. The best part is I called the place twice with some questions and the owner himself answered. Talk about a rad small business making a great product. Oh, and the subs sound excellent after a little tune.
For future installs on Gladiators/Jeep JL, there is a wire gutter that you can put that red cable through instead of stretching it across the engine bay. In fact, you attached the wire to it! ;)
Ah I just finished the install yesterday and had troublre lining my box up.. Watching this I see the foam was the issue. Too funny. I solved my issue by added fender washers to help cover the offset holes. I guess if I ever take them back out I know what to do :)
Loved the video , thx . Quick question though , I have a 2018 jeep Jl rubicon and I’m trying to run my rca converter. I removed my Rear sub and see 4 plug connection into the sub . What wires do I get to ? Much appreciate your response. Thank you
@@brpauto7313 Honestly thank you, you saved me a bunch of hassle. I Bought A sound bar from a different company the was supposed to be plug and play… it wasn’t and their instructions suck! This video is an amazing walkthrough for what I needed! Plus after the video I have to check out your shop and found a sub box I was looking for!
Good job; you may need a capacitor, however; you are an excellent technician and would make good use as an Avionics Technician on our Black Hawk helicopters at Patrick Space Force Base
awesome video…i’ve already replaced all factory speakers on upper and lower dash and sound bar with jbl speakers i want to add a amplifier and rear seat subs also to my 21 gladiator with alpine system which has its own sub woofer what do u recommend to do with that alpine factory subwoofer
Did the mounting screws penetrate the back of the cab? If so, did you seal them or coat them? I’m mounting 2 DS18 amps in that area. Video is awesome and so informative. Thank you.
Could you be a little more clear about colored codes left and right positive and negative please. I went through the whole video and you were not very clear on that. The most important thing of the whole project.
@BRP Auto I recently bought a kit from you guys and absolutely love it! Only issue I have is the sub woofer knob isn't working. However I'm not running the in line converter as the head unit I have isn't factory so the wire for the sub knob is plugged directly into the amp... is this correct??
We would need to know exactly what kit you bought from us in order to give you the right information. Best thing to do is call us or email us with that info, so we can give you the right instructions.
Great video! My installer said he can’t get the Gladiator started. All the lights turn on as if the Jeep will turn in but no spark. Now he’s trying to figure out why. Any suggestions? It’s 2023 gladiator Willy’s
Can i do this whole process for when upgrading my headbar speakers? Will the uconnect system be able to send the signal to the speaker wires to the B-pillar?
i am confused by your installation. you said you were doing front dash speakers, sound bar and sub. you only ran 4 wires to the sound bar. what about the front speakers and the sub.? is these a only a 2 channel setup with out a fader control on the radio?
I noticed the sound bar speakers have very little lows or highs,does the stereo limit this,or is it just because of the speakers,adding subwoofers also and didn’t know if that would be a good speaker wire to splice into. Great video also👍🏼👍🏼
@Bud1lite I'm not understanding exactly what you are doing or wanting to do. I'm in the office for a little bit right now. Give me a call I will try guiding you the best I can. Here is my number (480)569-3133
I never heard from you, so I will try and answer the best that I can. If you plan on installing 2 amps. 1 for the subs and one for your mids and tweets. You will need to use the LC7 not the lc2. The Lc2 is only for 1 amp and the lc7 is for 2 amps. If your not planning on using an amplifier for the mids and tweets just upgrading the factory soundbar speakers will make a huge difference in sound quality.
@@brpauto7313 thank you for the replies,according to crutchfield you can have a sub amp and main speakers just would lose fader option. But I’ll get all that,only question I really had was if the sound bar speaker wires were a good signal to use ,obviously it works just fine after watching your video. Appreciate it👍
The LC2I shows to use a 1amp fuze in the 12v power, nothing about the LC2I Pro though on their website, (also what I bought). Do I need to run a 1amp fuze inline from the amp to the LOC?
What did you did with the factory sub? Did you leave it installed or did you remove it? Does it still play if you left it in? Also if I add after market speakers do I really need to add a Amplifier to them,or can I let the fa they head unit power them?
Will this system work if I already have the upgraded alpine system? Will I still tap into the green wires from the pillar like you did in your other video?
@@brpauto7313 so the sound bar speakerwires in the video will have all the "lows" going to them? (on a alpine system with factory sub) just curious if you could use the alpine sub line going to the rear sub instead of the soundbar wires
Yes. The system will have all the lows but you can tap into the rear sub. It's easier to tap into the soundbar. In order to tap into the rear sub. You will need to remove the seats.
What is that box on the passenger side that is coming through the carpet? I guess that part got skipped over. Y’all tucked the box underneath the box to hide it.

How are you liking the box a month later?
I have a 21 Jeep Gladiator, I have a sub in an amp just needed a video to show me the way 👍👍.
Can you tell us the colors of the wires on the B pillar and which one are the positive/negative left / right?
For future installs on Gladiators/Jeep JL, there is a wire gutter that you can put that red cable through instead of stretching it across the engine bay. In fact, you attached the wire to it! ;)
Do you know where I can find?
Ah I just finished the install yesterday and had troublre lining my box up.. Watching this I see the foam was the issue. Too funny. I solved my issue by added fender washers to help cover the offset holes. I guess if I ever take them back out I know what to do :)
Every other video had me taking my dash out. I gave up. Thank you, I can finish running the wires for my amp. I was not going to disassemble my dash.
Glad we could help.
Im right here with this comment. I appreciate you sincerely for taking the time to show us. Subscribed!
Not many videos of jt or jl installs. Especially the damn ground. Now I now what to do and what corners to cut to put my amp in my 2020 jlu sport 😊
How do you know which is left or right when splicing into the factory speakers
Love the content thank you
You're welcome 😊
Nice video, how do you like the lci2pro vs a head unit in the dash is there any difference in SQ & loudness?? I’m debating on the lci2pro
@@zachvogeler7210 I really like it. It doesn't a. Really good job with the signal.

what wires were you tapping into in the pillar speaker wires
This was helpful! Thank you very much! 💯
Glad we could help.
Quick question, if I wanted to run 2 amps in my JL Wrangler do I need a different line converter or can I use the same one you used here?
@ianbailey2127 No. You will need to buy the Audio Control LC7i. That's made for 2 amps. We have them on our website if you need one.
Wow, an amazing video. Great walkthrough! That install looks amazing!
Thank you

We just leave the factory sub alone. It won't effect anything.
Please Lower the Background music, sir... It's distracting.. Otherwise, you have a great site! Thank you for your time!
Thank you.
What are the colors to the speakers on the overhead compartment positive/ negative?
Did the mounting screws penetrate the back of the cab? If so, did you seal them or coat them? I’m mounting 2 DS18 amps in that area.
Video is awesome and so informative. Thank you.
No they did not.
why not run the battery cable through the conduit?
Could you be a little more clear about colored codes left and right positive and negative please. I went through the whole video and you were not very clear on that. The most important thing of the whole project.
Obviously you were only powering the subwoofer with the amp. It’d be nice to see how to power the rest of the factory system with the amp.
In your opinion, do you get more bass from the 4 8” subs or 2 10” subs?
@BRP Auto I recently bought a kit from you guys and absolutely love it! Only issue I have is the sub woofer knob isn't working. However I'm not running the in line converter as the head unit I have isn't factory so the wire for the sub knob is plugged directly into the amp... is this correct??

Check the auxiliary battery. That's usually the issue. It's located under the big battery.
said that there is current on it so checks out good?@@brpauto7313
Do y’all make a under the rear seat box for 2018 jeep JKU for four 8’s
Sorry but we don't.
@brp auto Sir no video for the sound bar?
This fits in Jeep Wrangler Jl rubicon??
Can i do this whole process for when upgrading my headbar speakers? Will the uconnect system be able to send the signal to the speaker wires to the B-pillar?
Yes
What about a 4 channel amp sub amps are easy. What harnesses do you use to plug into factory radio to keep the resistance on the u on next speakers?
Hello?
i am confused by your installation. you said you were doing front dash speakers, sound bar and sub. you only ran 4 wires to the sound bar. what about the front speakers and the sub.? is these a only a 2 channel setup with out a fader control on the radio?
The video is on how to install 1 amp and Subwoofers, not the soundbar and dash speakers.
What gauge of wire did you use for the LC2 pro 12v power and ground
where you located? I need the same sound system installed
Where located in Mesa Arizona but we can ship you what you need.
I noticed the sound bar speakers have very little lows or highs,does the stereo limit this,or is it just because of the speakers,adding subwoofers also and didn’t know if that would be a good speaker wire to splice into.
Great video also👍🏼👍🏼
I can help answer the question but first I need to knw. Are you still running the factory soundbar speakers or did you upgrade them?
@@brpauto7313 I will be upgrading them.
Just wasn’t sure if that wire would be good to use as a signal for the lc2

No.
What are the red connectors called you used to tap into the speaker wires
T-taps.
So where you installed the power wire it’s safe to have multiple wires connect to where that battery nut is ?
I accidentally installed it to the main positive batter where the clip and the beveled nut is, shorted out my whole car.
Good video except for tapping into speaker wires. Got me all fukd up there listening to you explain those. My god.
so are you only amplifying the rear sound bar speakers and the sub box? why not amplify the front speaker sets as well?
We're just upgrading the soundbar and dash speakers with better ones for clarity and adding the subs for better bass.
What did you did with the factory sub? Did you leave it installed or did you remove it? Does it still play if you left it in? Also if I add after market speakers do I really need to add a Amplifier to them,or can I let the fa they head unit power them?
We left the factory sub connected. It doesn't effect anything.
Not at all. It will continue to work exactly like before but won't effect anything.
You in Florida?
No we're located in Arizona but we ship all over the country.
Does the factory sub stay connected?
Yes
Will this system work if I already have the upgraded alpine system? Will I still tap into the green wires from the pillar like you did in your other video?

That's the module for the rockslider steps we installed on the Gladiator.
@@brpauto7313 ah ok! Thank you!
Do the subs have grills to prevent from hitting the seats when in the down position ?
No. The subs don't need grills. The seats sit high enough to prevent the subs from hitting.
Any idea what this system weighs?
about 35 /40 pounds
Thank you!
no way that box sounds good. No air space. Dealing with this issue now.
Look at the reviews all 5 stars
I got a custom box made for 2 8s that your best route and a 2 inch lift on the rear seats
