Great video bro very well explained. you should do a video step by step how to install an amp. because most people don't know how to do it.
Will do. On the schedule. Thanks
Thanks bro. This is what exactly what I’ve been looking for! It saves me a lot of money DIY than going to the pro.
Brother.. this is the best video i could have ever found, im doing a all skar audio setup, dual 8” sub, 2 amps, door speakers, and was trying to figure out how to run the wires for the front to rear speakers.
I've heard of this, but never actually seen it done. Great job!👏
Thanks
I always do that.! Not new for me but yeah thats good that you are telling all the people about that good work..
That's a dope way to do it💯 I normally get a 9 wire and run that when I run my rcas but this saves time and a lil money on extra wires
Hell yeah
9 wire is a godsend if you are running under 150 watts per speaker.
Helped alot, we got a junkyard in Detroit called parts galore and I can get the factory harness with longer wires if I need to go back to stock.
Nice
This video describes exactly what I wanted to do. Awesome video man.
Awesome tip, just when I needed it too
Awesome! 😎
I feel very stupid for not thinking of this lol I just rewired my old grand Cherokee from front to back put all new speakers a 15” alpine s 6.5pioneers in the rear doors 6x9 jbl pioneer head unit single din older model and amps are alpine 1000 mono and a kenwood digital....... its kind of a hillbilly mash up of gear but I did the whole thing for under $400 lol thanks to you and your videos I can make it sound it’s best, I’ve been doing stereos for 20 years just my own stuff and I’m never happy with the sound but I think I will be now I’ve been watching your vids for the last hour or so and learned more then I did with my own experiences lol great vids man you explain things very well and you’re not just helping out the new guys getting into it, there was no youtube when we were kids and we didn’t have anyone to help us out and give us some needed knowledge lol apparently it’s not normal for your subs to smoke 🤷🏻♂️ ahaha thanks for the help 👌🏻
Thanks for the feedback and support man, much appreciated!
🤯so simple… idk why I didn’t think of this.. I was gonna disconnect the front speakers from the head unit. Then run amplified wires straight to them🤦♂️🤷♂️.. thanks dawg!!
Hell yeah!
Wow, ya learn something new everyday! Thanks for this.
Why have i never thought of this ! 👍👍👍👍👍
I've done that a couple of times but my vehicles are old enough I worry about the factory wiring not being capable of handling power. So far it's worked out good though.
whazz up man!? normaly dont comment much but bro I gotta take time to thank you and show appreciation!! Let me put it this way, I was super stressed and confused after watching the other video did not understand but I do now and stoked cant wait to hook my 4ch alpine up when it gets light lol
thanks again!!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!
Btw a good AA battery does the speaker test if u don't hv a 9v💯
Man ive seen so much stuff on your channell that i was doing 20 years ago cuz i was just being lazy lol. Why run new wires lol? Good stuff. Now i know im not crazy lol.
Lol 😂
Just wired my setup from 8 last night into lil past midnight. 🙉🤯 Now seeing this vid though 😔
Next project for sure. Thnx 💯
Looks good awesome explanation
Thanks
Good video bro .
You didn’t have to cut the factory harness . You could do it on the stereo adapter side too .
Yeah, either way works for sure!
@@NextLevelCarAudio Would love to see a video on that!
Great tip. I would have kept the aftermarket harness and used it to make the jumpers. This way you do not need to cut factory wires. You could even buy another harness and keep the one attached to the radio.
Yep… however, I wanted to clean up the clutter back there and not have a bunch of harnesses. It’s Gonna stay there
I was thinking the same but non the less this video was helpful
Wow thanks a lot that helps 😊
Excellent video brotha you helped me out so much thank you
thanks! appreciate it
I would have just kept the aftermarket wire harness on and just spliced from there to keep from having to cut into my factory wire harness since you're using the RCAs from the headunit to the amp. It would've made it much simpler than having to figure out which wires are which on the factory harness. 🤷♂🤷♂
Glad I found this comment. Thanks!
Noti gang💪🏾
Another great video brotha. I was wondering if you could make a video on how to connect dual mids/highs amps and dual bass amps using one as a slave? But the kicker is wiring up an eq and epicenter as well!
I’ll try to work out in the mix. Lots of upcoming videos to come

Hey nice explaining now that is how I like it
Thanks man
@@NextLevelCarAudio czcams.com/video/IZOLKy-BrAA/video.html
@@NextLevelCarAudio where is your hummer
Been doing that for decades. Using the aftermarket harness or cutting the factory harness gets the same results.
Great Video in a world of crap out there lol! Will definitely follow!
Your subs will hit harder if you turn them a round
Watch my other video of the actual build, as i discussed that I did orient my subs in every possible position to see what I liked best. Firing them forward gave me exactly the sound stage and dynamic I was looking for. To me, key words (to me) they sound much better currently as is.
Is it better to do it this way or the traditional way?? Or just depends on the application
Awesome!
Brilliant.
Question...so in the dash is there a set of speaker wires you are not using before closing up
Thanks 👍
How are you getting a signal to the amplifier to send to the 6x9's? Is it ok to 120 watts through those wires from a small amp(Timpano)?
Nice vid, quick question after installing to amp will you still be able to adjust balance on speakers front front to back and left and right?
Doesn't look like it
Amazing
I don’t see why you wouldn’t still use the adapter harness and just jump those wires. That way you’re not cutting the factory harness. Good video 👍🏻
Many ways to skin the cat here. I removed the entire harness all together to declutter all the wiring to be more minimalistic. Cleaned up very nice back there without the clunky harnesses in the way
Would you recommend a loopback harness?
Awesome!!! Are those skar audio amps good by any chance? I'm looking for a good subwoofer amplifier!!
Yes sir! Best budget amps I know that actually do rated power!
So you jump the rear left negative to the front left negative and repeat for the postiive and negative on the right
Whoever sell the speed wire is mad dude 🤣🤣. that's what I do with a small system,.. I done this before in 2008 and it's so easy to work without mess with all the paneling around the car.. and that's true broo not recommended for a system over 150 RMS per channel,.. great video overall,, view and liked.
Thanks man. Hell yeah! 💯
Great great great idea GREETINGS FROM THE CARIBBEAN.
Thanks!
The fastest way is to use head until fades if they match then you will know the head unit wires are matching
I know this was a year ago but why would you cut the factory plug of when you should have used the adapter plug from the head unit and just wire them together makes no sence.
You like the subs facing forward? I've been thinking about turning mine around to face front. Most of what I read says not to
Did not lose bass, and sounded much cleaner to me. With seats down. If you carry people in back stay often and can’t put seats down then leave them Rear facing
What made you go with skar audio? Good video by the way
Value. Hard to beat for the money
Good video great idea on the jump but skar subs do you have
Yes, like I said in my video man this is just a budget build for my daily driver. I have my competition build that I spent over $15,000 in equipment in my Hummer with the best of the best that the industry has to offer. Besides, for the money, these subs are awesome!!!! I am so impressed. And that’s saying a lot coming from me. Wait for my next video to come out as I demo this setup
thank u man
sure thing :)
This sounds good if you have 4 channel RCA's to feed the amps, not all head units have these, mine doesn't. I have to use the high output head to speaker wires to feed an amp, so this won't work for me.
Lets say if the factory speaker wire was disconnected from the speaker . Now that we have 4 different color wires . One with a stripe and one without on the factory wire ... How do you tell which wire is positive and which wire is negative. Cheers
Usually the wire with the stripe is negative. Since we all have Google it won't hurt to put it to work bcuz some car manufacturers are butt backwards and don't follow the rules.
@@characterflawless1381 thanks
I have those same subs and amp just wondering what you have it tuned to
36hz I believe
Ok. That has never occurred to me. I've ran 9 wire front to rear and rear to front.
now what if I am using lc2i two doors front only and kicker pods snowman
Anyone have any info on how to do this with a Toyota Corolla s 2016 I have door sale speakers and two front door and two rear deck wondering how to run this setup
running a single 4 gauge 9wire from the amp to the headunit is just as easy IMO.
Yep, that’s another way to do it.
I think the main point of this is this is for the most part free and less work running wires for beginners
@@kylemaples6461 more work fixing the main harness. Coulda just used the stereo harness side at least.
Could have, but I removed all the harnesses to clean up behind the unit. Very streamlined back there now without unnecessary harnesses
Itd be awesome to have a drawn out diagram!
I HAD to subscribe, because YOU are the only one that did step by step for idiots 🙄 😂😎😎😎❤❤ thank you so much
You bet!
Should I use the pre rca outs or the sub rca out to connect my amp and sub ?
Sub rca for sure.
@@NextLevelCarAudio I swapped it from rca to sub out and it’s way better. I appreciate the feedback. It’s bumping really good. The bass is killer. Now I gotta work on my mids and highs. Mainly mids 👍
Awesome.
I got that NVX polarity tester that you have, is it safe to pop tweeters?
I do, it’s only 9 volts. If your tweeters blow from that then I’d replace them anyway lol.
@@NextLevelCarAudio oh okay, I've just always been afraid to lol. Thank you!
It’s only getting 5.4 Watts when you pop the speaker. Using ohms now. 9 volts times 0.6 amps equals 5.4 Watts.
@@NextLevelCarAudio you're always teaching me something. You're the best, thanks man!
This will only work if all 4 speakers same watts right?
No, they are all running independently off the amp. They can be different wattage
Can we get an demo of this system ?
That video is coming next week!!!
@@NextLevelCarAudio cool I'll be waiting for it
Heck yeah. It pounds! For a budget setup
Don’t know why you would do this method over a 9 wire/speed wire method. If you have to run power and signal to the amp anyways why wouldn’t you just run some speed wire along side hour signal wire to the head unit and splice into your harness. Much cleaner and easier
1st
omg dude, why did you cut the factory wiring, that's like installer no-no number one man. Especially when you could have just spliced things together on the aftermarket stereo harness
Dude….. because it looks clean as heck back there now and not cluttered with useless harnesses. I know what I’m doing bro. I don’t give a flip what installer “no-no’s” are lol. I do what I want to my cars.
I am watching this after building two 16 foot harnesses for my new amp, one input, and one output.
Watching this, I am glad that I did. I just don't like cutting factory wires.
That nice but wouldn’t work in my car since my rear speakers are in my rear doors
Same difference. Just have to run amp wires up to the head unit to avoid removing door panels
What if I have the mach460 and each speaker also has a separate tweeter that also goes with it how do I wire those in also?
Best way is to rewire it so they are ran on separate channels and not inline with each other
Why not cut it from the aftermarket harness?
Because I removed ALL the harnesses to clean up all the spaghetti back there. It’s very minimalistic and clean now.
@@NextLevelCarAudio gotcha 👌🏾 good video!
Could have not cut the factory harness and just cut the aftermarket harness and fix it there.
In know, I Did not want extra harnesses/wires back there. Not planning on removing once it’s in.
Do you mean 6x8?
No, they were replaced with 6x9’s
What model subs are those ?
SDR
@@NextLevelCarAudio I have a question same way you just did on these video that’s how my uncle wants me to connect my system all my speakers to rear is that a good way to do it ? I have separate amp for voices and for bass
As long as you are not running a lot of power through them that’s fine. Anything over 100-150watt rms I’d run new wires
@@NextLevelCarAudio definitely can’t do it that way than lol thanks
You bet
Why not just jump it in the harness connector? Don't even need to cut anything.
Because I wanted to clean up the wiring back there without all the unnecessary wires and harnesses. Once it’s in, I ain’t going to be changing it back out
So no speaker wires are connected to actual aftermarket stereo hardness correct all speakers are connected together on the vehicle itself
Yes, you could use harness. But wanted the least amount of clutter/ harnesses behind the dash. Dont plan to uninstall. Once it’s in, it’s staying there
@@NextLevelCarAudio so total of 4 speaker wires connected all rear’s connected to front speakers correct
That’s correct
So if I want to use the aftermarket hardness how would I connected it
So all I have to do is connect rr to lr and rf to rr but in positive and negative connotations total of 4 connotations
Could have just cut and spiced on the aftermarket harness side instead of cutting factory harness side 😞🤦🏿
I know…. I wanted to remove all clutter including unnecessary harnesses. Looks almost like a factory install back there now.
Don't forget to tell noobies that is they have a factory amplifier this will not work
True that
hahah wallah easy
