Alpine Amp and LC2i Install 2019 Ram 1500

[@marksutton2052]

The speaker signal wire colors are grey and dark green and grey and light green for your rca converter.

[@growingpains190]

Explained the best on KZbin thanks

[@miguelagustin7126]

Do you have a better picture of the wiring diagram? If so could you send me it. Are all the truck wires the same for the speakers.

[@Dehnia31]

Ok so this is what I was trying figure out since w newer technology out I was curious since I’m gonna attempt to do it. So that I’m clear, you tapped into + & - on one speaker and then created a loop where u shared the connection from that + in the other speaker and - in the other. So that’s let’s say the left speaker and you shared that connection for the right speaker? Correct? Now for the power and ground you just shared it with the amp? Like you connected the LOC power wire w the amp power wire and you nailed the ground into the same ground tap as the amp? If Im understanding you correctly I’m gonna do the same exact thing including drilling a hole in the firewall.

[@DerickWiley]

Yes sir that’s correct. When I did my challenger I the left negative and the right positive and it still powered up so you may try that without doing the loop

[@Dehnia31]

@@DerickWiley thank u. I’m a girl 😂😂😂

[@Dehnia31]

@@DerickWiley oh ok sweet! Thanks, I’m using a NWV converter but it’s pretty much the same as the LC2i.

Thank you, sir!

[@geraldchilders2625]

Does that truck not come with a built in sub why dint you use the signal from the subwoofer if it had one

[@nolanmh28]

How does it increase power to the sub? What are the RCA wire attached to?

[@DerickWiley]

RCA goes from the LC2i to the amp. The amp power the subs. The LC2i gets the audio signal to the amp

[@StellsBellz]

I know this video is a bit old but basically you only have to tap into one of the speakers then? And then you looped it on the converter for the other “speaker” signal to register?

[@DerickWiley]

That is correct!

[@StellsBellz]

Thank you Sir!

[@garnettlesterjr1494]

I'd recommend taping more than one if you plan on running a multichannel amp or 2 separate amps.

[@jessealtamirano6512]

@@garnettlesterjr1494 what if I'm just running one amp

[@titathedog12345]

Lc2 needed in order for the bass box to work?

[@timothylewis253]

so when you tap into the lc2i that is all your signals to the amp so all you have to run to the front is the power wire no rca's or remote wire

[@DerickWiley]

Correct. The only thing that went to the front was the power wire from the amp to the battery. Everything else was right there at then amp

[@timothylewis253]

I have ask few people for info and found your video and it is the clearest I have found for info and thank you for responding so fast

[@jleron22]

So did you have to use the LCI 2, can you just wire it directly to an amp?

[@patrickd4093]

I was wondering the same thing. How did you mount the amp to the wall without drilling through the cab. I want to put my amp in the same place, but, like I said, I don't want to drill through the cab.

[@DerickWiley]

That board behind the seat feels like a piece of fiber board. It’s not right up against the pickup cab. The screws I used were not long. Just long enough to mount everything.

[@patrickd4093]

@@DerickWiley Great. Thanks. I have a 2019 Ram 1500 classic and I hesitate to screw into the cab. Thanks again.

[@13salinaspride]

Got a question for u. When tuning the lc2i do I have to unplug my rca cables to the amplifier? I got my bass on my head unit all the way up bass knob up on amp and it just sounds like shit..

[@DerickWiley]

No, you turn everything down and then slowing turn everything up. At least that’s how I do it.

[@FatalCorleone07]

I have a 2000 Monte Carlo that I'm putting a aftermarket head unit into with its factory amp and it will need a line converter. I found one from Audiocontrol called The Matrix Plus with six outputs..is that too much for my car and will I be fine getting a LC2i Pro??

[@DerickWiley]

I’ve never heard of The Matrix Plus. If you’re just going to be connecting one amp to push some subs the LC2i should be plenty

[@kuyawes1]

Thank you Sir...from Texas

[@DerickWiley]

You’re welcome!

[@elpolloloco5594]

I'm going to try running straight from my after market radios speaker wires straight to the inputs on the processor

[@DerickWiley]

Let me know if it works!

[@trmorgan28]

I'm curious, I have the Alpine system in my 2019 Laramie, and every thread I've read says I need to buy that $300 DSR1 unit to bypass the microphone noice cancelling issues. You say you just turned down your amp to aviod the noice cancelling issues, how much bass do you still get? Is it mirror shaking, or just a slight upgrade from factory? I'm not looking for a competition stereo, but do enjoy some good hits that make you say "Damn!!!". lol.

[@jaimegonzales8553]

I get a popping sound on my ram 2018 with alpine system i jnstalled a lc2 what do you i need to set my settings on amp and lc2

[@seansean8008]

if it still matters, you can buy a harness to disable anc, or just disable the passenger microphone

[@elpolloloco5594]

Wuld I b able to use the speaker wire straight from the after market head unit if u don't use factory amp?

[@DerickWiley]

I’m not sure

[@cvd127]

Doesn’t tying into the door speakers give you a mid range frequency? Wouldn’t you want full range?

[@isaiahmartinez6811]

Thank you for the video! Was just wondering what tyoe of wire did you use for the power and groundon the lc2i? Did you use speaker wire or automotive wire? Im just confused on that part still.

[@DerickWiley]

I used speaker wire. All the wire I ran from the LC2i to the amp was speaker wire

[@stevenredd38]

I’m trying to hook my system up like you have it but does you have to have a certain kind of amp for the amp to power on the lci2

[@DerickWiley]

No sir, the LC2i is just to get a signal to the amp from the factory speaker(s) while using the factory stereo.

[@stevenredd38]

So where are you getting the power from to the LC 2i

[@larrygarner2599]

You turn the key on the ignition which turns on the head unit which sends the power through the door speakers to the lci2 is basically an easy way to explain it so the door speaker works as a remote wire because the lci2 has a switch on it to work that way

[@JULIANysuHOHNER]

Can the lc2i work with 1 single speaker signal?

[@seansean8008]

yes- bass is mono so its all good

[@jgip23]

Mine not working I have a 2012 Ford Edge and I have the lc2i

[@johnnypiper1717]

I have a 20 Ram 1500 do you know if the rams have bass roll off? Cuse I was gonna go with the epicenter micro which has the lc2i built in as well as epicenter. But if I have bass roll off I would jus get the lc2i and purchase a epicenter separately. Thanks

[@seansean8008]

there is bass rolloff in the ram unless you use PacAmp pro

No. I didn’t mess with anything underneath the seat. I just tapped into the rear door speaker and ran everything through the LC2i.

How did you actually wire the LC2i for power? Where did you run the power wire to? Did you tap into anything specific?

[@Bizznatch57]

I ran power and ground from my amp. Just add an extra wire each from your amps power and ground terminals and run them to the power and ground inputs for your lc2i. You should also have an inline 1 amp fuse when you do this.

Does that loop on the left + and left - affect anything?

[@seansean8008]

bass is mono, so sharing it across two channels doesnt afftect anything- you can do a single left input and it will be just fine

[@donearl6675]

how did you mount that amp to that wall?..is it strong enough to hold that amp?

[@stevenbrace8579]

I’m sure you already resolved this issue yourself if you replicated this project. But for people doing research and having this same question. I just completed this project myself. I mounted the amp and lc2i in the same location. In order to fill the area behind the carpeting I layered two strips of 3/4” plywood in between two 18x16” sheets of the plywood to get the correct thickness. I glued the initial sheet to the Metal rear “wall” of the truck with all purpose gorilla glue. The glue seems to be holding very strong. And I ran some of the wires through the middle of the two sheets as I used the strips in between that gave me a large channel in witch to run wires. I believe I cut the sheets of plywood to 18”x 16”. Hopefully that helps.

@@brettburke3686 That’s my issue at the moment as well on my 2019 Ram Classic. I tapped into the rear speaker with speaker wire to my amp with and internal loc/LPF. The amp doesn’t shut off right away. Takes close to 50mins to finally turn off. I ran a rem wire to fuse box and tried several locations. No change adding rem. Not sure what to do at this point.🤷🏻‍♂️ Other then pulling speaker input line to shut amp off every time.

[@twd4th]

@@DerickWiley great video..did you check on LC2i turning everything off? Or is their a long delay? I don’t have the lC2i but I will buy it if it shut everything down. I have a long delay approx 50 minutes before my amp shuts down.
