Ok those are safe to use on that harness? Those are the ones I have had troubles with in the past. I think it was cause I was using the wrong size though maybe. What size wire is it do you know by chance from when you did it?

i have not removed that cover in years, you might be able to find different sizes at the auto parts store or maybe ace hardware if you have one around.
I have a couple wires tapped in there and have just let it be and have not had any problems so far.

I usually use one of these female blade power tap's (depending on the wire thickness), that allows you to insert a male blade connector.

Hey, I guess I got a little too excited there… It’s triggering power to the LC but it’s not turning on my amp. I got a weak blue light on my amp. It’s not a bright blue light.

Does the Lc have a trigger output?

My amp is controlled by a rocker switch. Simple. Effective.

Update had to run the remote wire from the terminal block to the LC2i remote in and then run another remote wire from the remote out on the LC to the amp now I got both with power

Thanks Grok Ai

I think we can call it a day… for now. I’ll be back!! Probably do tweeters or the mid drivers in the doors next. Wanted to do all kickers speakers, but I don’t know if they make two ohm kicker mid range drop in speakers

Hey yall i I was wondering why at lower volume so I could hear like a radio static kind of noise. Kind of like an irregular whine.

Someone said I could try separating my RCA cables from my power cables and also moving the LC2i ground to the same ground as my amp

yes 100% separate the rca from the power wires, also be sure the rca cables are "shielded"
ground should go to bare solid metal wherever the closest location is.
separate power & rca so one goes down the left and one goes down the right side of vehicle.
that's what is called a "rookie" mistake. lol

My power wire goes under the vehicle along the frame
