Second question is: where should I tap that little wire that is supposed to tell the amp when to turn on? It said something in the instructions about something on the back of the HU.
This is what I put in the car. I know it's ugly as sin, but it's cheap, and the sound quality was surprisingly good for what it is (it was on demo at Fry's). I already put these in the rear doors, and they sound better than the OEM speakers.
So yeah, any help would be appreciated. |
I am assuming that you can figure outhow to run the wer wire from the front to the back since it wasn't one of your questions. To answer your questions:
Here are the monsoon plugs in the trunk:
wires out of the [Monsoon] amp on the green connector:
1 + Left Rear Woofer Pur
2 - Left Rear Woofer Brn
3 + Right Rear Woofer Pur
4 - Right Rear Woofer Brn
5 + Left Rear Tweeter Blu
6 - Left Rear Tweeter Brn/Blu
7 + Right Rear Tweeter Blu
8 - Right Rear Tweeter Brn/Blu
9 + Left Front Tweeter Red/Grn
10 - Right Front Tweeter Brn/Red
11 - Left Front Tweeter Brn/Grn
12 + Right Front Tweeter Red
13 - Left Front Woofer Brn/Ylw
14 + Left Front Woofer Ylw
15 - Right Front Woofer Brn/Wht
16 + Right Front Woofer Wht
Here's the wires in (from the HU) on the grey connector (Best to tap these since they are from the HU)
14 + In Left Rear Blu
15 - In Left Rear Brn
17 - In Right Rear Brn
18 + In Right Rear Grn
20 + In Left Front Ylw
21 - In Left Front Brn
23 + In Right Front Brn
24 - In Right Front Red
As far as remote turn-on. Tap the CD changer harness in the first aid/cd changer compartment on the left side of the trunk. You will be tapping a yellow or gray wire. You will only have one or the other not both depending on the year of you car.
