INSTALLING A SUB-WOOFER IN A FORD FALCON

[@wehaveignitioninfo]

Just be aware people, that only using the left speaker wire is not the way to wire up your Hi input to Low output converter (be it a Stinger or otherwise)... Why? Because music these days is mixed in Stereo with independent left and right channel content, which may contain different musical content from left to right. Therefore, by only wiring up the left feed and not the right, musically what you'll get is only left channel content only. PLUS, if you ever fade music from left to right, you'll loose signal to your converter/external amp all together, resulting in no audio output. The other issue is that by splitting that left channel (between you converter and existing speaker), you're effectively having both the output of that ICC amplifier channel (so it won't be as loud as the right speaker) and the load that is presented to it (eg. 2ohms vs. 4ohm), being it is a parallel connection, this can make some amplifiers unhappy. The moral of the story is to maintain balance, hence don't take shortcuts and be sure to wire up both left and right speakers to your converter, they give you a L + R input for a reason, hence don't wire it up L + L😅. I love how to videos, please make sure you're giving the correct advice though😅👍

Finally another sound man pointed this out he took the left channel and made it double mono

FYI-Orange black is positive not negative- I tested mine with a battery today after hooking them up soldered in etc as per video. Same with the right side the wires with the solid and black tracer in the FG are positives. I also used RCA and then also tested this exact under seat sub in my 2012 xr6t without the line converters. TBH this model under seat runs fine with speaker wires and also is less work as you don't need the remote turn on. The sub only requires earth- power-speakers as the speakers turn the sub on. From someone who is picky with sound quality leave the splits out as this under seat is fine without RCA power. The RCA and splits mean the sub gains have to be turned right down anyway. Using the speak wire input to the sub just requires you to look inside on the circuit board where the speaker wires go into the sub box to see what wires are left/right positive/negative. Don't forget if you read the instructions it says hit the reset button after install on the sub box. Zac is the man but always check your speaker wire with a battery and if its pushing the speaker cone forwards then the (+) end of the battery indicates the positive wire. Also note door speakers wire colour is not the same in the B-piller as in the door where speaker plugs in. I also fitted Pioneer 3 way and dick smith offered FG Falcon door speaker cones front/rear. Would also not bother doing door speakers if your factory speakers are working fine. There is a good chance you replace the speakers with something producing less mid range unless you really know how to pick the speakers or are running the entire system speakers with an amp. Yes my system sounds better now but the factory ICC is designed to run a standard 25w door speaker so don't pay hundreds for fancy top end and expect the doors speakers to sound crazy awesome. Good chance they will be better if you select a good mid range door speakers- don't just buy any door speakers you see do some research on what door speakers off the best sound.

Having trouble with this in my G6 2012 model. Just followed the video, missed your comment after doing it all. Is there any reason why the audio is ringing like power surging at higher volumes? (Not playing audio just high volume?)

[@descoburg]

While you have the car apart change those horrible ford speakers, I'm running kicker cs 6.5", buy the spacers $28 a pair and see how much better you can push the ford ICC.

[@RossReviewsau]

Haha love the NCS songs gotta keep that monetization 🤣

[@okinkaku8218]

Ayyyyyy Ross reviews lesgoo

[@lachlanjanetzki4212]

I’ve got the same sub in my bf Ute. It’s perfect for the size of the cab and goes ridiculously well for the size of it

[@liam_monas]

Worth it price wise?

[@PAC23K]

A lot of excitement over a tiny sub wow Zac have you not been in a car with a sub before

[@Chris_6868]

Wouldn't you need the left and right channel from the original speaker wire? Bridging it seems pointless off 1 left channel and only getting half wattage of icc output? I'm about to do an install this weekend. BTW keep up the videos Zac 👍

[@talib6928]

hey just wondering didn't the xr6T come with factory sub woofer with the premium sound pack

[@nunika1975]

Whats the deal with all the faulty FG2 ICC. Mine went blank after a battery change. Looking at the Kayhan units.

[@cameroncarpenter6059]

Yeh, I had to replace mine with only 72,000k's. Nice little money maker for Ford!

[@whattimesconc6682]

Link for write up for wiring diagram???

[@13bppst8reppin]

2channel line converter?

[@ellataylor2225]

What colours are the wires for the back speakers?

[@anthonybagnato7894]

What happens if you cut and remove the amp and sub and you now have no sound from the speakers in the car

[@chilledchaos2710]

Thanks so much for doing this video, been waiting for you do do this so I can follow a good tutorial

[@jakebryson55]

Hey zac what color is the factory power antenna?

[@barbarosyenilmez5452]

what sub is it ?

[@TaffPlays]

Sounds pretty good, from memory how good were the B series speakers just out of curiosity?

[@RevLimitHero]

sub-par. Honestly its hard as fuck to find 5 by 7's as it is, and finding good ones is even harder. got a massive kicker sub that helps and dropped some 6 by 9's in the back

[@descoburg]

They were absolutely horrendous, upgraded to Pioneer 4 way 5x7" same fit as some mazdas, world of difference.

[@xitzatomicx2326]

Don’t listen to these guys mines quite fine work really well tbvh

[@RevLimitHero]

xiTz Atomicx bruh you just haven’t had good speakers

[@peteanderson2533]

We were getting our kitch re-modelled and I showed my wife your kitchen lights (similar had been put on the short list) and she liked them.

[@RivalGamingRvlG]

I had the same sub in my wrx and i just used velcro to stick it down so i didnt have to drill anything

[@morganhughes6622]

Hell yes this car is going to be mint once its back on the road. Can't wait to see it going again. Thanks for still making good content Zac

[@cameroncarpenter6059]

Thanks for the vid Zac, this should help me tomorrow with my new underseat Kicker 10" with replacement Kicker door speakers and splits 👍

[@Somebifurryguy]

If it doesnt fit under the seat, bolt it into the back of the middle seat in the back 👌

[@mcd3379]

Mate, unless you install two 20 inch Pioneer subbies with 3 amps like I did in my EF (old school), you're just not serious :) BTW try playing "Totally Addicted to Bass" as a test ;)

[@DigitalEkho]

what a terrible song lmao

[@AGRSSV1]

Don't know if you mentioned in an earlier video, any reason to not go with a parcel shelf setup like the factory premium sound? Keeps everything out of the way.

[@ZacBaldy]

I was going to, but with the hassle of amps and extending wiring and stuff, I just found it more cost effective and quicker to do an under seat setup. I would have liked to do one, and most likely will in the future :)

[@shobitsahota5808]

So glad for this.... Much required post from you

[@darrensice1550]

Pioneer make a good 8” sub TS-200202 600w dual 2ohm shallow mount.

[@None-kv7sd]

Sounds fckn sick! I'm getting an FGx ute soon and want to do the same thing. I'm on my P's but not one of those dick heads that puts a 15" sub behind one seat and a 1000w amp behind the other ahaha. Sounds clean though!

[@ZacBaldy]

Hahahaha cheers man! Yeah there’s nothing worse! 😂

[@BrainztormProductions]

Whats wrong with a 15" sub and an amp, how does that make them dickheads, the only thing that would make that wrong is if they just went to JB Hifi and got some prefab box and think OMG Fully sick 15" sub. The idea is to get a custom built box that is tuned with your cabin's resonant frequency in mind and end up with a reasonably flat frequency response across the range, If your getting it all custom made and tuned your far from a dick head, your educated and actually know something about audio.

[@evocuz3143]

@@BrainztormProductions hes just taking the piss m'bro, no need to get triggered 😂🤦‍♂️

[@BrainztormProductions]

@@evocuz3143 but it seems he's just uneducated and doesn't know better, he said he's on his P's and its very typical for P platers to rush to JB or Autobahn and buy some prefab crap and think its fully sick and hes saying hes not one of those, little does he know theres another breed of people who actually do it properly. He's basing the whole joke off a stereotype thinking thats all there is to it and its just simply not true.

[@markpeck5117]

do yourself a favour and upgrade your other speakers to 2way or 3way.......my bro replaced his in his FG and made a world of difference

[@stagealife5151]

Nice sub. Check sound through speakers while car is running. Hoping u don't but having power an speaker wire together is not the best idea... An also try an wire the remote wire to stereo power not lighter. While u got everything out, easy fix!!

[@Rileysaganster]

Make sure u tape the connections or shrinkwrap Don't want that beast of a car to go in flames

[@ZacBaldy]

Sure did man :D was hard to see but in the time lapse that's what I was doing :D
