Speaker amplifier install - 08 lancer

[@georgebecker5726]

Soo much work. I've been looking for the best way to rig mine up because I hate the mito-02. It takes so much power out of the speakers, I should not be able to hear myself snap my fingers or hear my horrible singing. Very good job man, now I just need more than one day off from work and the motivation to do it lol. I'm looking for a quicker way to make it sound a bit better today but as soon as I have the time I'll be using this. Thank you for the diagram to the wire harness under the seat, the great video and for the hard work lol.

[@esqu3l3to]

Thanks man, i ended up removing the stock amp, sub and speakers along with the mito. I only got it because i kept the amp. You can try not using it and just wiring the amp turn on directly to the oem amp tho im not sure if that will work. Othwrwise might as well just replace everything at the same time. You'll just need tha basic adapter harness for the new radio since you will use RCA from the radio to the new amp.

My friend , this had to been the best informative video ever. Props to you bud . Much thanks . Too bad you didnt list the color and speaker wires for each speakers though.

[@esqu3l3to]

Thanks man, whats your email? I can send you a picture of all the wires.

[@SenorDennis]

Nice, I just bought the t600-4 to upgrade from my p400-4 Im excited to hear it perform!

[@christorres878]

Was the t600-4 a great upgrade

[@frankenstein32320]

Thanks man ..I found a wiring diagram too so tomorrow I will begin

[@AshBhang2010]

Thanks for the Vid man . . . im thinking to do my Lancer very soon. . Very informative. .

[@esqu3l3to]

no problem, glad it can help you out.

[@jeopy1]

Thanks for sharing this video. That stock amplifier you pulled out. Would you know how much power that amplifier have in watts rms? Is this solely to power the stock subwoofer? I was planning to test a different subwoofer on a wooden box enclosure instead of the factory 10 inch sub. Thanks again.

[@esqu3l3to]

the stock amp is for the sub and all the speakers in the car. Mitsubishi rates this entire system as 710 watts. The sub is a dual voice coil sub, you can use the signal from the factory wiring to connect a new amp and sub. watch my other video on how to install an aftermarket sub and amp while keeping everything else stock. Hope that helps.

[@jeopy1]

thanks again. I will try to check where the preamp signal wire is before the stock amplifier.

[@esqu3l3to]

jeopy1 If you add a separate amp just for the sub then you can use the wires that are already in the truck for your signal without having to go behind your radio. All you will need is the power and remote wire and ground of course but no need for RCA.

[@jeopy1]

thanks again. I have seen that video as well. I will actually test that option first. since you used the speaker level coming from the stock amplifier, did you had any issues at all with regards to the new amplifier and sub?

[@esqu3l3to]

jeopy1 No I never had any issues doing that way, I originally had it that way in my lancer before I upgraded my HU amp and speakers but never had any issues. One good thing about doing this and keeping your stock radio is you can still control the punch and bass levels going to the aftermarket amp.

[@adamjensen6376]

Hey there I just purchased rockford fosgate subwoofer for my lancer I can't seem to locate the stock amplifier I want to know where its located cause when I hooked it up in the trunk it doesn't seem to work Any ideas where the amplifier is located Thanks

[@esqu3l3to]

It's located under the driver's seat.

[@adamjensen6376]

@@esqu3l3to thanks I don't have it installed and the wire harness isn't there

[@esqu3l3to]

Are you installing the oem sub or aftermarket?

[@adamjensen6376]

@@esqu3l3to oem rockford fosgate the connecter in the trunk not working I'm trying to see if there a amplifier under the seat nothing. I look for the wire harness nothing either I'm guessing previous owners had the wires snipped

[@esqu3l3to]

That's because it's not connected to the radio. The connection between the radio and subwoofer is not complete as it missing the amplifier. You can find the connectors under the seat and splice them in to make the connection

[@ZetaVec]

Hey there I own a 09 gts and my speakers they cut out with a pop sound seconds after starting my car after that zero sound comes out do you think the amp went bad? Or is possibly damaged? I’m not to familiar with these issues. I also wanted to note everything in the car works radio works and everything I have the Rockford Fosgate sound system with the touchscreen navigation

[@esqu3l3to]

Check the amp for sure, can also be the radio. Does you radio power on?

[@ZetaVec]

@@esqu3l3to yeah everything on the radio works the weird thing is back when I got my starter replaced everything worked just fine but after a few days it went back to cutting out

[@esqu3l3to]

Thats probably just a coinsidense. It may be the amp. I would suggesr tapping into the speaker wires behind the radi and test with a speaker, if you get sound then you know its your amp.

[@campeontribess2]

hey man i enjoy watching you're videos, recently i added subs to my 2014 lancer se and aftermaket radio, love the bass but the factory speakers are not good enough for the sound quality, i like to take on swapping speakers i need advice should i get an amp to power the speakers regardless of which ones i buy? and should i just run the wires from the back of the stereo?

[@esqu3l3to]

Thanks man!... For sure invest in an amplifier for new speakers, it will make a huge difference sound quality wise. what do you mean run the wires from the back of the stereo?

[@campeontribess2]

+Esqu3l3to since my i dont jave the RF system i should just get the signal for the speakers from the back of the stereo from the wiring harness i had to buy for the aftermaket stereo

[@esqu3l3to]

Your aftermarket radio should have front/rear outputs to run to the amp. then you can run the wires from the amp back to the harness of the aftermarket radio.

[@nitroalan4239]

Where did you run your power wire through. I see you have a 5 speed as do i and i cant manage to find a good spot on the drivers side. I know the passanger side has a grommet behind the glove box but thats alot of extra wire to use

[@esqu3l3to]

I ran it through the grommet for the main wire harness just behind the air intake, it was a pain to get that big wire through but it was worth it. I think I have pics of it that I can send you. I'll check cause I cant remember, PM me your email address and if I got them I will pass them over to you.

[@boundles9062]

I got an evo and last owner took out the amp and left a mess 😢 the forum in the description no longer has the images for the wiring any help?

[@esqu3l3to]

That sucks man, let me see if I can find the wiring schem and I'll let you know

[@matt62192]

im debating on eather geting these Rockford Fosgate T2652-S OR the ALPINE SPR-60C components with the T600-4 IM not sure and i know there both great but i really want to know witch set is best in all areas. sound quality is mostly what i want HELP !!! have you ever heard the alpine components ??

[@Slushplop]

So you didn't feed fresh speaker wire through the rubber elbows on the doors?

[@esqu3l3to]

No I didn't, I used the original speaker wires and just spliced into them under the drivers seat where the OEM amp was.

[@justinkyle1183]

I did something similar to you but i reran all the speaker wire. But the deck doesn’t turn on. What wiring did you do to your deck ??

[@esqu3l3to]

All I ended up using was the basic connections plug like the ground, ilumination, acc and battery. Are you using the stock deck?

[@justinkyle1183]

Esqu3l3to no aftermarket, would I have to wire the power and ground from the harness underneath the driver set?

[@justinkyle1183]

I took out the stock amp, ran new speaker wire to each of my door and installed 5channel amp and a aftermarket deck, I didn’t touch the harness the connects to the stock amp and my deck doesn’t power up when I turn my car on

[@esqu3l3to]

Did you remove the stock amp? Also did you disconnect the oem bluetooth module? If not try that first because the oem amp may be interfering with the new system. Otherwise, check your wiring and only use the main wires of the main harness in the radio.

[@justinkyle1183]

Esqu3l3to yes I removed the amp and I don’t have Bluetooth stock in my car

[@chrisr.986]

I got a subwoofer installed about 7 years ago. And now the subwoofer and passenger speaker disconnect when driving on bumpy roads. And ideas how to fix?

[@esqu3l3to]

I would start by checking for loose connections on the amplifier, also check your power and ground connections. Are the speakers and sub all connected to one amp?

[@chrisr.986]

yes they connected it to one amp.

[@esqu3l3to]

Ok, then start by checking for lose connections on the amp, also check your ground wire.

[@chrisr.986]

Will do thank you man.

[@esqu3l3to]

Let me know how it goes

[@justinscheve8179]

how did you get your deck to on after removing the stock amp?

[@esqu3l3to]

I replaced everything on the car, amp, radio and speakers. I replaced my deck before the amp so I didnt have issues there.

[@AnGeL225x]

Hello, i have a 08 lancer and i put a oem headunit on and a amp and sub box in it. I get bass but i dont have any audio coming out of the speakers. What do i do? Do i need to buy a mito 2 harness? I did it without one.

[@esqu3l3to]

Ok, so you installed a factory radio from a different lancer or did you replace the oem radio? Do you have the rockford system?

[@AnGeL225x]

@@esqu3l3to yea i have the rockford fosgate system. But i wanted to change it because it shuts off. So i got a boss headunit with apple carplay. I get no audio from side door speakers. Everything is connected correctly. I dont have the mito 2 harness however

[@esqu3l3to]

Ok thats what I needed to know. Did you remove your oem amp or no? If not, did you you connect the amp turn on (blue/white) wire?

[@AnGeL225x]

@@esqu3l3to no, i did not, i connected one for the sub though

[@esqu3l3to]

Ok, you either need to connect the blue power amp wire to it or you need to remove it and use the existing wires to connect directly to the new radio. Do you know what I mean?

[@frankenstein32320]

i dont see the list of wire colors to the speakers from the harness under the seat...also i have a 09 lancer same?

[@esqu3l3to]

I will post the link in the description box, I can also email you a pic of the wires if you want me to. let me know.

[@TheCheetahang]

I got rockfordt252s components, my tweeters r not working,any suggestion?

[@esqu3l3to]

sorry for the late response I just saw your comment today. did you hook up your crossovers with them? are you running them from an aftermarket HU or a stock radio?

[@SenorDennis]

How do you like the t600-4? Is it loud?

[@nigelrodney5924]

Where does the negative wire for the battery goes?

[@esqu3l3to]

You mean the negative for the amplifier? Bolt it down to bare metals near the seat. I used a bolt for the seatbelt and sanded down

[@90DIMER]

And how did you wire the crossovers? Input and output to where? Sorry if idont make sense lol

[@esqu3l3to]

90DIMER I wired the crossovers under the seat right where the factory amp was installed. I used the wires from the factory harness connections, so from my amp in the trunk down to the crossovers then to the factory wire harness which then went to the speakers.

[@90DIMER]

***** did you splice together the fronts with the tweeters to the crossovers?

[@esqu3l3to]

No I didnt, I wired them separately.

[@90DIMER]

***** soo then how did you wire the tweeters to the amp?

[@esqu3l3to]

unless you are running an amp for the mid and an amp for the tweeters then all you do is go from your 4 channel amp to the xovers then from there to the woofer and to the tweeters. Your xovers will have an input and two outputs (one for the woofer and one for the tweeters).

[@90DIMER]

hey bro how would I do this but with my stock RF stereo? how do iget the signal from the stock stereo to the amp? since the wires from the harness go to the speakers correct?

[@esqu3l3to]

90DIMER sorry for the late reply but I've been away. Do you have the upgraded factory stereo?

[@90DIMER]

***** its ok bro, umm ihave the navigation Rockford system

[@peterwriter6820]

tell me when you get it

[@jebamany801]

Where did you get a good ground?

[@esqu3l3to]

+Anna Jebamany I used the bolt to the strut located behind the cover behind the rear seat. Sanded down and used that for my ground.

[@fariek007]

how did you run the power cable through the engine bay

[@esqu3l3to]

I run the wire through the grommet right behind the air filter under the hood, its the big grommet that houses the main harness going into the car. I cut a hole in the bottom right corner of it and fed it through there. There is also a grommet on the passenger side right behind the glove box, so depending on what size of wire you want to use you can run your wire on either side.

[@fariek007]

do you have a clip of that because i wanna run my cables but i can't find a good spot

[@esqu3l3to]

I don't, I had taken pics before. I will try and find them, If I do I'll send them to you.

[@fariek007]

ok cool man thnx

[@fariek007]

fariek007 did you change your battery for the second amp because i can't install my second amp my big kicker amp is clipping when i install the second one do you have any suggestions because i think the oem battery of the lancer is strong enough to run 2 amps (my car is also a full-option)

[@villamar002]

is it possible to install a system in a mitsubishi galant?

[@esqu3l3to]

+marc villa yes it is, weather you are doing just an aftermarket radio or a full set-up.
