My stereo installer is telling me that a Jeep Dealer said that speaker wires from HEAD Unit for Rear Speakers in sound bar do NOT come from the head unit! Where do they come from. He said some "box" somewhere. Wonder if that is what got f'd up.

Click image for larger version Name: Infinity wiring diagram.jpg Views: 104 Size: 38.9 KB ID: 278474 You can not simply bypass the infinity amp with a loc because it uses a can buss system to control volume, and other parameters. There are modules that will serve this function which are a little more pricey. You could run your loc for your 4 channel amp off the front speakers, but I think you would have to run off the dash speakers, and the tweeters. Not sure if you have the factory sub. I used a loc off my factory sub ( and kept it ) and it works great. The first loc I used would not work on the sub because of how much power it puts out. I bought a high power unit and its all good now.

Is the problem when you fade in and fade out from what i could tell from the video? Did you just swap the jl speakers out with the stock speakers and keep the factory wires?

yea i would have 3 loc's. 1 for the front, rear, and sub, and just cut and splice those wires to my new amp leaving any other wires not pertaining to the speakers and sub alone. If that makes sense. and ill be swapping out all speakers including sub

Well the AMP is now under the passenger seat so I suspect the installer ran NEW wires. I have pictures of it here. Click image for larger version Name: image-1860513424.jpg Views: 67 Size: 56.4 KB ID: 278490Click image for larger version Name: image-3243954975.jpg Views: 67 Size: 63.9 KB ID: 278491

you might have luck installing a line output converters. ive been reading up on them and there used when keeping your factory h/u and help equalizing the factory settings such as the volume,trebble, etc especially with aftermarket amps and speakers to get to there fullest potential of sound. im going to install them in my jk when i swap out my system soon
