    Hi,

    I’m hoping someone can help me with wiring my amp. This is back to the basics. :(
    I appreciate the patience for anyone responding. I’ve looked at a ton of threads with wiring diagrams, but I’m just confused where the wires plug into the amp. ********* has some great videos, but their systems are more complicated than just an amp.

    I purchased my kit from tech12volt. The kit includes 2 wiring harnesses. Below is a pic of the pins that are included. I also included pictures of both sides of the amp.

    • I’m guessing the J145 harness connects to the amp picture labeled side 1, but not certain.
    • I do have RCA adapters, so I’m guessing I need to convert some wires to an RCA wire.
    • Pins 7 and 9 of the J144 harness has pins with no wires. Any wires I need to connect?
    • Any step by step help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks :)

    Email or call James from tech12volts.

    He will help you out. Have you looked through the group buy thread for this 5channel amp? Lots of info in there.

    Email sent. I have the exact same set up as you. When I get back to my truck I'll try to get some pics.

    How does the amp rack account for the heater vent?

    So the rack has openings at the far end for the air to blow through. Honestly I don't know how much comes through.

    Mine just sits on top of the vent. The vent goes right under the rack and is not interfered with at all.
