Finished Installing T12V System...Houston we have BASS!!!
Started Saturday installing the Tech12 box enclosure and subs in my son's 05 LE crew cab. Started by removing the front seats and then running the power using the foam that surrounds the AC drain hose that has been posted before. When I lifted the pasenger side carpet, I found a mess and busted fuseholder for the FM modulator for the DVD player. I wrapped the power cable with friction tape and utilized the rubber gromet to protect the cable where it exited the firewall. Drilled a small hole and mounted the fuse holder on lip of the engine compartment directly over the fuse box by the battery. Snaked it down the wiring channel along with the remote power wire. Removed the stock sub and tapped into the four existing wires and mounted the LOC on the air vent using tie wraps and snaked the cables down and over in the drivers side wire channel. Mounted the remote sensitivy in the console, removed the cup hold and popped the rear off of the console and ran the RS wire under the carpet by the hump and all the extra stored nicely under the console. Just a note, anytime you pull that phone connector, tape the little locking clip so it doesn't get damaged.
I bought the enclosure with the amp tray, so I added some cable hangers and pre-wired from the amp to the rear connectors. Also soldered the speaker wires inside the sub enclosures on the backside of the conector.
**Note** I took the rings that came in the box for the subs and lids to the boxes, traced it and cut them out and made some protective covers for the subs that came in very handy!!!!! I kept these on at all times during the install and they protected the subs from anything that might have fallen or dropped. Gave me great piece of mind knowing nothing was going to damage the subs when they were on.
Finally got to the point of putting the encl/subs/amp in the truck and began connecting everything up. Hooked the remote power wire in the cold side of the audio fuse which was the fourth one up on the left hand side of the fuse block. Hooked up the battery after re-installing both seats and checked voltages & the remote power.
Removed the speaker wires and hooked my laptop into the aux input and set the Hz @60, adjusted the amp sensitivity to get 40 volts rms on the output. Reconnected the speakers & remote sensitivity pot. Before mounting the amp down, I went to the hardware store and bought 12 rubber washers. Used these as isolators and also the amp will have air space for heat disipation all the way around.
Here are all the pictures
