#12 of 31 Install Amp in 2007 by headtek Jul 13, 2007 (12:54 am)
I want to install a sub and amp in my 2007 wrangler 4dr unlimited. Does anyone know where to start ripping the dash out to get to radio? Replies to this message: funbob (Aug 15, 2007 4:54 pm) erickpl (Sep 07, 2007 5:23 am)
#13 of 31 Amp turn on problem!! by funbob Aug 15, 2007 (4:54 pm)
Replying to: headtek (Jul 13, 2007 12:54 am) I just installed an American Pro Bass Machine 800 Watt amp with two 12" MTX subs in my Jeep Wrangler. My head is a JVC EXAD (KD-LHX551).   I hope I can explain this so people can understand it. There are two wires coming from the back of the head that, when plugged into the REM, remote turn on spot on the amp, will allow the amp to actually turn on. There's a yellow one, and a green one.   BUT (and there are two of these), they ONLY turn on the amp when I have a spare bit of wire from the power wiring touching against them. Otherwise, none of the wires from the back of the head turn the amp on. This wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that the amp doesn't shut off when I shut the car off, which is a problem because it kills my battery. That makes no sense to me.   The other BUT is that when the green one is hooked up in this way, it makes the smaller speakers cut out when the subs get a nice loud hit.   Can anybody help me figure out which is really the correct wire, or any way that I can make the damn thing turn on and off with the car? Can I wire it into the ignition or something???? Replies to this message: erickpl (Sep 07, 2007 5:23 am)

Replying to: roachscpgc (Oct 24, 2006 12:56 pm) You can fit in a JL 6.5" or cdt 6.5" subwoofer (both avail at www.woofersetc.com). I would recommend an external amp for both of those as the factory amp is grossly underpowered and it'll sound muddy. also use some dynamat or the lid to the console vibrates. In my '05 TJ I replaced the oem with a 7" elemental designs sub (www.elementaldesigns.com), the eu-700. However this will require you to cut the 'grill' on the console and screw in your own speaker grill (it'll still clear the seat and I used a std. 8" sub grill off ebay) for excursion clearance.

Replying to: funbob (Aug 15, 2007 4:54 pm) Sounds like a grounding issue to me.   But as far as power to the amp. Check the instructions on your stereo to see which wire is the amp turn on (remote). Some have mistakenly used the power antenna lead to do it, which will only work when on in RADIO mode, not CD or satellite (if equipped).   -Paul

Replying to: gily25 (Sep 06, 2007 12:14 pm) I used Dynamat in my Tuffy console, which is big enough to fit a Kicker 8" with no problems. It is powered by a dedicated single channel amp.   -Paul

#18 of 31 My radio died! 98 Wrangler Sport by jeep4pam Sep 22, 2007 (5:53 pm)
Replying to: mafigueroa (Sep 16, 2007 6:54 pm) I had it playing on my way into work and at the end of day i get in my jeep and it no longer works. nothing. nada. Any ideas? Oh, and while i'm at it...my gas gage quits working at a half a tank. I have to fill up at a certain milage to keep from running out of gas as i have before! Any ideas as to why? Ummm, oh, and my side mirrors do their own thing. Is there a way to tighten them? Any help would be great! Thanks, Pam Replies to this message: erickpl (Sep 24, 2007 4:28 am)

Replying to: jeep4pam (Sep 22, 2007 5:53 pm) Not sure on the radio, but my guess would be a loose power connection somewhere on the back. Possibly a loose wire shorted a fuse as well, so check your fuse panel behind the dash/glovebox.   For the fuel gauge, may be an issue with the sending unit, which is located in the tank with the fuel pump. Older TJ's had an issue with this and yours may be one of them.   For the side mirrors, there should be a couple of phillips screws on either side of the mount of the Jeep (look at the bottom of the 'frame' for the mirror). Loosen them all the way, then reinsert them, tightening them down tightly. This should take care of that.   -Paul
#20 of 31 07 4 DR. Want A SUB ! by uchicj Jan 24, 2008 (7:16 pm)
What is involved in installing the OEM Infinity Sub? Does it have a built in amp or does it run off of the stock radio? Also, without tearing it apart, does anyone know if the wiring for this option is there and it is a simple plug-in?   Thanks Replies to this message: headtek (Jan 25, 2008 6:59 am)

Replying to: uchicj (Jan 24, 2008 7:16 pm) I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish. If you didn't purchase the vehicle with the Infinity sound then you will need to install the amp and sub (which means running a wiring kit to the stock radio).   I installed an aftermarket sub and amp in my '07. Not too difficult however I've since traded the '07 for an '08 with the infinity sound package included.
