Non JBL - I've gone back and forth with using the Beat-Sonic amp due to the ease of installation, but I think I'll regret not going with a more "traditional" install. I'm having trouble sorting out what harnesses I need based on the following build:

Front Doors and Dash: 6.5" components, crossovers in the kick panels
Rear Doors: 6.5" two-way
LOC: TBD
Amp: 75w x 4
Sub: Since I have a hideaway (speaker level input only) available, I figured I'd throw that under/behind a seat. Not looking to rattle the mirrors with deep bass... yet.

I want to add a harness to the back of the head unit that allows me to send the speaker level outputs to a LOC, which goes to the amp, which goes back to behind the head unit to connect to the speakers. I'd like to better understand:

1. Crutchfield has a PAC LPHTY02 harness, but I'm not sure if that gets me everything I need to connect the items listed above?

2. How can I tie in the hideaway sub? Taco Tunes has harnesses for adding a sub, but I'm not sure if that will work if I use the LPHTY02?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

That’s the harness you want. If you get an LOC like an LC6i it will sum the signal and give you a sub out. Another option is scrapping the LOC and going into an amp or amp/processor combo that accepts high level inputs (which is pretty much everything nowadays) and has a sub output (again, lots of options here). Just depends on budget and space

Thx! That’s actually what I did. Went with the LC-4.800 amp.

I went with beat sonic’s DSP amp because it came with a harness that connects everything at the head unit with plug and play harnesses, and is long enough to route below the passenger seat.

I’m working on relocating the JBL amp to the rear, after sound deadening it
