Serg Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 specific and to the point... Do anyone have pic or diagram to hooking up a aftermarket amp to a 2012 DJ SXT? i would like to do this with the least amount of kinks ...so is taking out the radio faster or the door panel? yes i know how and where the radio is? yes i have the tools? I do not want my radio to default on me...someone who know what they are talking about please. no why's no bashing... 2500w amp to 1 2400w sub with a LOC. Or is it a plug-n-play option? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I purchased an Alpine Brick Amp (Power Head Unit Amp) and Best Buy tied it into the speaker wires at the Radio. But, this is a 4 channel amp. If you have speaker inputs to your amp, depending on where you are mounting your amp and sub, I would use either side rear door speaker wire. I did this same type of installation on my Nitro and used the right rear door speaker wires as input. This did not affect my MyGig HU in any way. Of course, I had to run power cables to the battery. I did install an 8" Kicker Sub, mounted under the driver's seat. The sub is mounted in a ported box, similar to a Bose Radio. The tech wired the sub between the radio and the amp. The sub also has its own amp. It is made for single cab pickup trucks. Neither my amp or sub required power cables to the battery, so it was a simple installation. From the size of your amp, it appears you need to run power cables to the battery, but I could be wrong. My DJ is a 3 row, so I had had limited options when it came to a sub.

SeanTacular Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 If using a loc I second dhh3's post about using the rear door speaker as its closer to the back where your amp will be mounted. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serg Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 i found a easy way to get to the rear speakers...do anyone know the color codes? the side access panel is much quicker...faster. pull the weather strip off the front and rear door and the side pane pop off with a trim stick. I NEED COLOR CODES PLEASE SeanTacular and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Very simple: Go to your Dealer and ask in the Parts Dept. I have done this on numerous occasions. They can give you the color code. There is a wire bundle running down both sides, under the plastic door sills. 11journeybama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
