Installed to an aftermarket Sony head unit, plug and play with all cables included, 5 minute job. I have a single din unit in a double din space so there was enough room to put this behind the stereo on the bottom! Being small is a major advantage. The sound quality is noticeably better through my Pioneer 45w RMS 3 way speakers. I added a sub aswell but it has its own amp inbuilt. Major upgrade!

I know this was a couple years ago, but how did you connect your active sub to the radio? Did you have another output from your radio or did you go through the powerbox? If you went through the powerbox? Did you use the RCA that he shows on the other end of the unit? Thanks

Are you able to advise how I could install the Vibe Optisound Auto 8 active sub to my BMW F30 2014 using the high input connectors? I cant seem to find anything online. Installing into the factory stereo obviously. Thanks
@fenomenalus3 жыл бұрын
You could use vibe rapid fit kit and modify the signal cables. Kit comes with high level input RCA cables with splicers on the other end to connect to the original speaker cables. You can cut rca plugs off and use wires to connect to the high level input on the optisound auto 8 (making sure you are connecting the polarities correctly). Powerbox 65.4 also has two male connectors on the harness that are notentioned in this video and in my understanding are high level outputs
@jamesroydavies6 ай бұрын
Can the powerbox be fitted with the optisound auto 8? If so do you use the RCA from the supplied loom or the RCA’s coming out the back of the unit?
@pcguru.19 күн бұрын
I installed a powerbox, and when I try to plug the high input rca's from the harness to my Hertz sub amp, the amp will stay in protection mode, not turning on. If I connect the sub to the low output rca's from the powerbox, it turns on, but then the Hertz amp will not show any voltage so I can set the gain(but sound is playing fine). Its very weird, i have tu tune everything by ear.

Right. So i tried this on 3 different radios. A jvc kdxbt and a ebay radio and a brand new pioneer svc 559 euro radio. It worked with none of them in a lexus is200. The pioneer actually kicked up a fault saying amp error. I then returned amp for another same thing. Obviously there is no reason as to how you coukd possibly wire it wrong its all plugs. What i did however notice is when connecting the rca cables the rear speaker on bootlid did work (barely) but no door speakers. When disconnecting the rca cables i had 0 sound off anything. Just wondering would you know why? I have received a refund for it but am still baffled as to why it wont work. Is it cause the car dosent have a factory amp? Is it because the stock speakers couldnt take the amp?

I have bought this vibe amplifier but also the Vibe Rapid Fit Kit, which enables me to connect my active sub to the 12v Fuse and get the signal via crimps that connect directly to the left and right speakers wires coming direct from the factory harness. My question is rather than crimp them to the factory speaker harness can they be connected to the wires that are connected direct to the Vibe amp? And if so which are the wires for left and right? Thanks

@jamesmason8099 Жыл бұрын
What is the RMS per channel? It's not 65W as the 20A fuse wouldn't take that. 65W x 4 = 260w / 14v = 18a x 1.2(give 80% efficiency) is 22A. It will pop the fuse.
@leukste4 Жыл бұрын
You use but 14 but calculate with 12v from battery and not 14 from altenator. Is an class D so efficiency is more like 70% so the 20amp fuse should be sufficient
