Kick Panel Wiring

[Dustin]

Hello,

I'll be installing a new line out converter for an amp. It's a PAC Pro 7, which needs constant 12v and ground for the amp remote on. I have an idea of the speaker wires I'll be tapping into, but I was hoping to find a constant 12v and ground circuit in there as well. If not I'll just go ol' cig lighter but I'd prefer it to all be in one spot.

Anyone have a kickpanel wiring diagram? It'd be super useful.

Here's a link for speaker wiring, power is close enough from the fuse panel and there are several constant hot (and one or two switched hots) you can tap into there.

Not sure how big the PRO7 is but the PRO5 fits inside the kick panel nicely

Good to know it fits. It looks like all of their LOCs are the same size. I'm considering just using it without the remote-on and just tapping into ACC power so I'm not at the mercy of another electronic device.

How did you tap into existing wiring? T-taps or cut/splice or strip and solder? The loom being so tight makes me wary of anything outside of taps.

Edit: Also, did you hit the F or R speakers? I've been seeing some mention that front is full range, while rear is a limited range, mostly lows but may have a cutoff >30hz. I'm looking to get a full range signal since I've got a sub that'll run down to 24hz, and the box is tuned low.

T-taps because I was lazy. I'll probably splice and solder when I add the 4 way for the front speakers but for now this works fine.

I tapped the rear so I could fade to front and eliminate the signal if necessary (wasn't aware of the range difference) and run a remote for bass gain.

Here's my sub set up. In the spring I'll add the Audio Control LCQ and front amp... http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20361

I've had no issues driving the heck out of this set up. Loud enough to piss off old people and impress young ones...plays nicely with all my music.. Happy camper
