Recommended auto insulation products:. Damplifier Pro and Luxury Liner Pro are the product which are recommended by us as a second skin and vibration protector.

If I may ask, how exactly is the ring terminal fastened to the battery post clamp? Is it just wedged in there? Fenix said:. Legionofone Well-Known Member. Just finished my install, FYI for a clean look on the LOC and no need to cut the factory harness apart you can just solder to the terminals on the speakers.

For anyone that wants to run a remote gain control, you do have to take out the kick panels and side runner but that is it. You can tuck everything in under the carpet at that point so it will never fall out. I ran my gain control into my glove box you can run it in and mount it on the left or right side, gives my wife control over how much bass she wants! I mounted my amp on the side of my phantom box from Audio designs for good air flow, you can get a good ground by drilling a hole through an internal panel behind the right side, its all internal so you aren't punching holes anywhere and you can access the back and drop a nut and lock washer on it.

Soldering to the rear speaker terminals or catching the signal there with wire taps works just fine. But then you have more wire to run. I tapped into the wiring harness like I did to minimize how much wire I'd have to run Though cutting away the fabric wrapping the wires and putting those clamps on upside down wasn't fun or easy, either.

The input wires on the LOC are about 6" long. Perfect length for connecting them where I did. Thanks, Fenix. The ring terminal is secured two different ways. The battery terminals have a bolt of sorts that runs from side to side, but the body of the bolt is flat vs.

If you completely remove the clamping nut, the terminal comes apart and you can pull the bolt out. You can also drop the little metal wedges down onto the exhaust manifold and it will take an hour just to find them.

So, I removed the flat bolt and slid it through the ring terminal just happened to fit through the size of the hole in the ring terminal and them clamped the battery terminal down like normal.

Wish I took pics of this part! Hope the explanation helps. Did you buy both already? I had my eye on the w amp, but experience told me to buy the more powerful w version.
