Hello I'm new to your channel I just subscribed. I have a few questions if you don't mind. Was that the stock radio you replaced? I have an 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I wanna install an aftermarket cd player so I can run my 12" sub. My Jeep came with the amp under the back passenger seat. Can I hook up my sub to that amp or should I just use my aftermarket amp? If I use the aftermarket amp do I still need the stock amp under the seat? Is the stock amp connected to the tweeters? The only controls on my steering wheel is for cruise control will all of that still work? Sorry I know this is alot of questions but I'd appreciate any information you're willing to share with me.
What up man? Loved your video series on the WJ stereo install. In the last seconds of this video you show that underneath the back seat you have em packed with huge amps... I have a Kicker CXA 360.4 that is no where near as large... My question is have you had any problems with heat do to restricted air flow back there? You don't have room for much else back there so you had to make it fit... I dig it! Keep up the good work and I hope to see you on the trails! Best Wishes
Thank you I have not updated my stereo videos in a long time. A lot has changed I started competing in car audio competitions again and won a ton of trophies last year 2021. I have changed both amps since that video my four channel is now an Alpine and my bass amp is now a Taramps Smart Bass 3k underneath the rear seat and I do not have heat problems even in the summer time when it's 110 here. Check out my newest video let me doing a hair trick with one subwoofer in my Jeep it's on my channel please, and let me know what you think about that. Good luck with your build.
Hi! Can you please list all the connectors, adapters, kits, you used? And what you knew to ask for and where you got it? 2000' Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thank's!
Go to Sonic Electronix website tell it the vehicle you have and it will tell you the wiring kit aka harness and the brackets you need for your year when you are looking at head units and door speakers
The way the Jeeps infinity speaker system is setup with the amp underneath rear seat you must run a amp and the wires if you want sound from the front doors
cool vid 1 thing u didnt do yhag I would have to do is test it play cd. tuner use fade and. balance make sure its faded right before putting it back in ....😎
@@Spadez614 my speakers are working but the sound is t the same it was when the stock stereo was on. I feel like the speakers sounded better with the stock unit
The stock alternator is 136 amps.. look at the fuses on your amplifier and if it's higher than that amount you will need extra power like an extra battery...
I'm currently running just under 3,000 watts with two different amplifiers a 4-channel and a class D monoblock amp for the sub with two yellow top Optima Batteries.
Hello, Very simple and useful video, thank you. I'm hoping you might have a suggestion or advice for my pioneer DEH-s31bt... ...my 04 does not have the amp under the back passenger seat, and I had replaced the factory with factory until this aftermarket pioneer. Only my front passenger speaker has sound and the new head unit works fine other than not distributing sound to the other 5 speakers (tweeters, back and driver doors). Do you know of a potential troubleshooting tip, area or connection to check? Thank you, -L.
Your Jeep most likely has the standard stereo system not the Infinity Gold option Jeeps came with that had a amp under the rear seat I would guess. If you matched up all the wiring colors properly, I would test the front passenger speaker that works to each channel on the head unit to see if its a bad speaker or connection to the speaker. The front tweeters are not going to work with a aftermarket head unit. Most aftermarket head units do not have the wiring for it. Feel free to ask more questions if you need help.
@@FastestIntegra Wrong about the front tweeters. Mines are kickin' nicely with my JVC, we tapped into the factory system wiring to keep them active, so you can try that.
Some places in the city I live have a $1 install if you buy everything from them which is really expensive. Other places will charge by the hour will to be really really expensive. I would say I saved anywhere from $250 up to $1000 doing all the work myself
This video falls short of showing me how you ran the RCA's to the amps. That would be helpful to me. Or perhaps I gotta scour your "other" videos to find out how you did it...🤦🏻♀️
Doesn't matter what Edition or stereo that's in there it must have a factory ground look for the black wire probably a little bit thicker than the rest. Otherwise find a factory ground location anywhere under the dashboard there's plenty of them look for black wires going to metal
@@FastestIntegra do you think I can make my own ? Do you think the Phillips screw that holds the ac and heat switch if I wire brushed it and cleaned it up would work was gonna try that tomorrow because I don't see any black wire other than twisting them together now they just need grounded
Watch the video at 7:30 I show the factory ground wire. Otherwise find a good piece of metal sand it down so it's clean metal and yes you can bolt it to anything like that if you have a test light please use your test light and make sure it showing ground but it's just a head unit so it's not requiring a shit ton unlike a amplifier
This Jeep had the infinity gold system in it which has a extra amp under the seat and it has a CD changer in the back plus the steering wheel controls. That was a good question thank you.
Yes, it does matter if you use a very tiny screwdriver or a panel pryer. Even using a kitchen fork won’t damage the dash as much as a very tiny screwdriver. Thanks though.
There is also a double din for the wj and it looks awesome. Good information video
Nicely done
Love It.🤗

if you remove the ac and the ashtray area, its only 2 screws each. makes this a ton easier to chase the wires.

Go to Sonic Electronix website tell it the vehicle you have and it will tell you the wiring kit aka harness and the brackets you need for your year when you are looking at head units and door speakers
are connections from the harness to the radio the same for replacing stock radio w/stock radio?
If it's the same year and style of radio yes.
Now, if I'm not running a amp, i don't need to run wires/pull out the center console? So what do i connect to my speaker lines?
The way the Jeeps infinity speaker system is setup with the amp underneath rear seat you must run a amp and the wires if you want sound from the front doors
Te felicito amigo, pero hubiera sido mejor una radio doble Din multimedia, mi humilde opinión , saludos desde Chile!!
cool vid 1 thing u didnt do yhag I would have to do is test it play cd. tuner use fade and. balance make sure its faded right before putting it back in ....😎
was that a usb on the left side by the airvent
Right side USB port. Left side blue square source button.
what about the pci wire? do you need to use that wire or not.. yellow w/black stripe
There's a separate wiring harness sold that controls the steering wheel functions
What did u do for the ignition wire that doesn’t turn off or turn on the radio
It has constant power and drains the battery
Did you put those side things on with the original round pice that faces you. For the bracket of the radio lol I'm lost
Yes
So if it has the infinity system in it should I just get a small 4 channel amp? I can't get sound from my deck.
You need a aftermarket deck and a 4 channel amp.
@@FastestIntegra I actually got it to work. I had to hook up the damn amp wire. I always thought they were for after market amps.
@@Spadez614 my speakers are working but the sound is t the same it was when the stock stereo was on. I feel like the speakers sounded better with the stock unit
Hey what will the alternator handle as far as amps go?
The stock alternator is 136 amps.. look at the fuses on your amplifier and if it's higher than that amount you will need extra power like an extra battery...
I'm currently running just under 3,000 watts with two different amplifiers a 4-channel and a class D monoblock amp for the sub with two yellow top Optima Batteries.
How does it have sound without wiring the speakers?
The sound goes through the RCA wires to a 4 channel amp and from the 4-channel amp speaker wires go to all four doors
also can u hook up a sub to a stock head unit?. cause I like my system but I wanna add bass.
Yes you can
@@nxt_sean1168 how I dont think I saw inputs on back

@@darrellwilliams4520 what exactly did you do?
How much money do you think you save by self install??
Some places in the city I live have a $1 install if you buy everything from them which is really expensive. Other places will charge by the hour will to be really really expensive. I would say I saved anywhere from $250 up to $1000 doing all the work myself
how do you run the cd changer in the back with new head unit?
What's a great speaker brand to install for all 4 doors? Power wise too, no amp or optional??
As you can see my videos I love Alpine highly recommend them
This video falls short of showing me how you ran the RCA's to the amps. That would be helpful to me. Or perhaps I gotta scour your "other" videos to find out how you did it...🤦🏻♀️
Where should I ground if there isn't a factory ground?? I don't have one I done believe in my 04 special edition
Doesn't matter what Edition or stereo that's in there it must have a factory ground look for the black wire probably a little bit thicker than the rest.
Otherwise find a factory ground location anywhere under the dashboard there's plenty of them look for black wires going to metal

@@FastestIntegra in this video your lookin at it at 3:15 bottom left or right was gonna take off wire brush and use that if you think that'll work
Watch the video at 7:30 I show the factory ground wire.
Otherwise find a good piece of metal sand it down so it's clean metal and yes you can bolt it to anything like that if you have a test light please use your test light and make sure it showing ground but it's just a head unit so it's not requiring a shit ton unlike a amplifier
I don't have that plug in factory ground
you pulled out 5 connections plus antenna plug why so many when others have less?
This Jeep had the infinity gold system in it which has a extra amp under the seat and it has a CD changer in the back plus the steering wheel controls. That was a good question thank you.
So when are you gonna show us a demo
With UA-cam music copyright policy's it's hard to make a good vid with out getting flagged. I'll try to make a vid of the Bass flex soon.
Yes, it does matter if you use a very tiny screwdriver or a panel pryer. Even using a kitchen fork won’t damage the dash as much as a very tiny screwdriver. Thanks though.
As you can see in the video I had no damage to any of the panels. Thanks for commentating. Please Subscribe like and comment on my other videos.
I'll have too pay someone after I buy all the shit needed lol...

No that's why I made the video so you can do it yourself.
