    This is everything. The sub is a subwoofer and amp all in one as well

    For non-JBL, there are a few places you can go. Either directly behind the radio, or either of the front kick panels. Don’t tap into the rears because they are very limited from the stock radio.

    Easiest spot is the the grey+ and blue- wires in this connector in the passenger kick panel

    this is the first time ive heard connecting the LOC to ONE front speaker, is this correct? Im doing the same LOC connecting
    Grey is +
    Blue is -
    on passenger side kick panel (2018 non JBL) .....ill still just plug in the TWO male input wires from the LOC into the AMP, correct?

    Remote power to the amp i can get from any 12v source or cigarette lighter? from the above photo, is the green or white wire a constant power source?

    thanks!!!

    You can pull audio from just one side with essentially no negatives. Most bass is mixed to come from both channels.

    As for tapping remote power, you can get it from any switched source like the cig lighter you mentioned. Unfortunately, none of the wires in the plug in that picture are switched power.

    Why are people using a LoC to install equipment that takes speaker level inputs?

    Just wondering.

    “We wanted to truly make installation a breeze so we designed this unit with the user in mind from start to finish. We added high level inputs so you don't need a remote wire from your receiver to trigger the unit on and off. The smart circuit will sense that an audio signal is present and turn on your radio and a signal is present. When you turn off your music signal the amplifier built into this subwoofer system will automatically turn itself off. Using the high level input is also the fastest and easiest way to install an aftermarket amp subwoofer combination since you do not have to remove the receiver. You simply use the high level input and wire it to one of your speakers. Another thing we did to make installation a breeze is we put all the inputs and outputs on one side. This makes wiring neater and easier. Our competitors models are more challenging to install.”

    Where is that quote from? I have a Boss amp and seems like most are using the LOC to supply RCA cables and remote trigger. I don’t think I’m wrong on this just looking for guidance. I did order a fuse adapter to add the line for the remote trigger. Just need to figure out where to install the add a fuse vs finding kick panel source to trigger my amp on and off. Cheers
