06-11 Buick Lucerne Rear Speakers and Amp/Sub install Walkthrough

[@412AutoCare]

Thank you everyone for 10k views. It’s appreciated. I need you guys to understand. I do not mind helping. But I’m a businessman and this video is free. If you need more help understand that time is money.

[@-MightyJoeYung]

Will the (LOC) work if my aftermarket radio doesn’t have rca connections?

[@412AutoCare]

Yessir. RCA connections are from the signal source to the amp only.

[@michaelclark922]

Thanks for posting man, I’m installing mine in the morning and I didn’t even think to run the remote wire off the accessory fuse, that’s a damn good idea. Your video is very thorough and easy to grasp on what to do next. Best one I found for sub hookup on my Lucerne.

[@412AutoCare]

@@michaelclark922 I am very happy to know it has helped you out. There are areas I could’ve done better but I tried to explain a much as possible. That accessory fuse for the remote wire ensures your amp turns off when the accessory power is off.

Spent all a running wires just to find a vide of a brother doing it so easy lol time to go back out and do it the way you did (way easier than chasing 50+ wires putting a aftermarket radio in) thank god for this video.

Appreciate your time to educate about this.... Truly

What did you use to convert the audio from the speakers to the amp?

Good instructions.

That’s my car 😁😁😁😁

[@mikeblackshear7931]

do you still have this car?

[@peamookie]

I missed the part about hooking the amp turn wire

[@412AutoCare]

Run it back to when I’m talking about the fuse box and disconnecting the battery first

[@kwamegriggs7485]

So like where did u plug up the Sub to get sound out? To the radio? Or just somewhere in the back of the car... I have the legit same car

[@412AutoCare]

Kwame Griggs you have to get one of the converters and tap into the rear deck speakers. Then from the converter there will be your RCA jacks that you plug into the amp and boom you got bass

[@marquecook6416]

I just curious how you wired the line output if you can show me I have the same vehicle 07

[@kadansletto5263]

My friend said I had to get an after market radio for it but you have the stock does it matter if I do or not please lmk

Nope

[@412AutoCare]

Get what is called a line output converter. Follow the instructions because some need to be grounded some don’t. Run your power wire, remote and a good ground for the amp and make your connections. You should be thumping with the factory head unit never touched.

[@noemartinez5111]

Is it safe to install the power wire to the fuse box power?

[@412AutoCare]

@Noe Martinez It actually is safe. It’s, in my opinion, better than directly to the battery. As long as your fuse on your power wire is good you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. You can also run the power wire to the alternator.

[@noemartinez5111]

[@coltonglover7229]

Is the output converter for the 6x9 speakers to run thru?

[@412AutoCare]

The converter is so you can take the signal going to the 6x9s and run the rca wires to the converter and the amp

[@alvarohinojosa8195]

I got two kenwood 12s with a mb quart 1000 watt amp. Lights were dimming so installed capacitor. Charged it up and installed it. Bass doesn't hit as hard as before capacitor. Got both running go same ground you used. Thinking that might be the problem. Are there other good ground points.

[@412AutoCare]

Yes there are other grounds and you can create your own ground by removing the paint from an existing hole or a new drilled hole and you should be fine. Is the capacitor running directly off the battery or the fuse box power wire?

[@alvarohinojosa8195]

It's running off the fuse box.power like your video. To an inline fuse.

[@412AutoCare]

Ok so for the battery capacitor I’d run straight to the alternator or to the battery. It’s fine to power the amp from the fuse box but with the extra demand you have to pull the power from one of the sources. These GM have the ability to run a dual or triple alternator set up also.

[@alvarohinojosa8195]

I ran it straight to battery. Definitely improved. Did have to retune amp. Input frequency was running higher than before. I'm thinking it's the capacitor? But thanks man. Definitely guided me in right direction.

[@adamwhite6842]

Also since I learned from you that there is a ground in the trunk, instead of doing it under the hood, I got, factory replacement Interface wiring harness, Antenna adaptor (UAA3SD), 1200 watt amp wiring kit, 1200 watt amp, (waiting on box to ship for 12" speaker, that's what I purchased, do I need all of that to install? Thank u

[@412AutoCare]

Steering wheel buttons will not work unless you get the module and program it. If it is a big name brand it may program easily if not they can be finicky.

[@andrewwyatt9435]

Do you splice your 12v+ wire from the LOC into the hot wire going from fuse block to amp? I missed that part of the video I guess. Also, what fuse are you running your remote wire to? I’ve got a 2011 and the fuse block is different.

[@412AutoCare]

Andrew Wyatt huh? Subs get answers bro. Free knowledge jusnsubscribe

[@412AutoCare]

I’ll double check that fuse for you but I’m pretty sure it’s ran to the radio fuse or ign 2 fuse. As far as the line output converter goes I just ran the power and ground wire to the amp power and ground. The video could’ve been a lil more neat but DIY tutorial ain’t about make it look nice. I wanna help you make it work.
