4. Find the rubber grommet behind the battery and cut the end of the accessory tube. Feed the
power wires through the grommet tube into the cabin. Fig. 3 Continue to step 9.

2024 and newer Trucks
NOTE: The newer style grommet requires using a fish tape or some type of stiff wire to
penetrate the grommet. There is a provision in the grommet to allow the power
harness to pass through the grommet.
DO NOT TRY TO PENETRATE THE GROMMET ANY OTHER WAY THAN DESCRIBED.
5. Using electrical tape, tape the power harness to the fish tape or stiff wire as shown with one of
the three terminals pointed back along the power harness. Fig. 4
6. Start taping about two inches in front of the power harness and continue about two inches past
the terminal pointing backwards. Applying a thin coat of oil along the electrical tape will aid in
passing through the grommet. Fig. 5
7. Find the rectangular plastic
opening at the 6 o’clock position
of the grommet and insert the fish
tape or wire through it. There will
be some resistance until the
rubber is pierced. Pass the fish
tape into the cabin carefully to
avoid hitting any wires on the
inside of the cabin. You should
now be able to reach up to the
backside of the grommet
underneath the dash and pull the
fish tape and power harness into
the cabin. Fig. 6

1. Locate the audio control module next to the
glove compartment and disconnect the two 28
pin connectors. Fig. 12
2. Find the connector with the solid blue and
brown/blue stripe wires and peal back the
cloth sheathing.
3. Connect the green wire of the adapter harness
to the blue wire and the brown wire of the
adapter harness to the brown/blue stripe wire -
See Splicing Technique Section.
4. Connect the adapter harness to the subwoofer
harness.

Trucks with Bose® audio system
1. Find the harness that runs from the kick panel
area toward the rear of the truck.
2. Using a seam ripper, carefully cut a slit in the
sheathing.
3. Find the twist pair of wires that are yellow and
yellow/black. Connect the green wire of the
adapter harness to the yellow wire and the
brown wire of the adapter harness to the
yellow/black wire. Fig. 13 - See Splicing
Technique Section
4. Connect the adapter harness to the subwoofer
harness.

14. Remove the two 10mm nuts securing the
jack bracket. Fig. 15
15. Remove the jack tool bag.
NOTE: If equipped with the optional
carpeted storage tray as pictured in
Fig. 12, remove at this time. The
storage tray cannot be used in
conjunction with the subwoofer. The
subwoofer by design provides an
optional storage area once it is
installed.
16. Remove the outer rear seat bolt on the
driver’s side. Fig. 16
17. Make cuts in the carpet according to the
measurement in Fig. 17. Only make cuts
where dotted lines are shown.

18. Route subwoofer harness from passenger’s
side to driver’s side under carpet.
Subwoofer harness should be routed
behind seat brackets. Routing from one
precut opening to the next will aid in
harness routing. Fig. 18
19. Route the black four pin subwoofer connector out of the hole that was cut near the stud where
the jack tools attach. Route the white amplifier connector behind seat bolts and out of the hole
that was cut near outer seat bolt. Fig. 19
NOTE: Some subwoofers may be
shipped with an additional 12-inch
adaptor harness connected to the
subwoofer amplifier. If so, tuck the
additional harness underneath the
carpet as well while positioning the
subwoofer into location.
20. Make wire harness connections to
subwoofer and amplifier and set subwoofer
in place aligning brackets with the stud and
seat bolt hole. Fig. 17
NOTE: If equipped with the optional
rear rubber floor liner, use the
subwoofer enclosure as a template to
mark the liner around the outside edge
of the subwoofer enclosure. Using a
razor knife or shears, remove the
portion of the rubber floor liner directly
below the subwoofer enclosure.
21. Reinstall the jack tool bag and nut.
NOTE: MAKE SURE WIRE HARNESS IS NOT BEING CRUSHED UNDER JACK
TOOL BAG!

22. Reinstall seat bolt. Torque to 109Nm (80ft/lb)
23. Reinstall all previously removed parts in reverse order.
24. Install supplied fuses into fuse holders.
25. Reconnect negative battery cable. Tighten to 7.5Nm (66in-lb)

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. Special Tools:
•
EL-38125-10 Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
•
J-38125-5A Ultra Torch Special Tool
•
J-38125-8 Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool
Note: The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2critical features:
•
A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
•
A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for
these sensitive, low energy circuits.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the
instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.

Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands
are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
Opentheharnessbyremovinganytape:
•
Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in
order to avoid wire insulation damage.
•
Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except Tefzel and coaxial.
Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness
branches, or connectors.

Striptheinsulation:
•
When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original
wire.
•
Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
Find the wire on the schematic and convert to regional wiring gauge size.
If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until
achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
•
Strip approximately 5.0 mm (0.20 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
•
Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
•
If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
For high temperature wiring, slide a section of high
temperature SCT1 shrink tubing down the length of wire
to
be spliced. Ensure that the shrink tubing will not interfere
with the splice procedure.
Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the
wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the
repair procedure for the color coding of the DuraSeal
splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
The EL-38125-10 splice sleeve crimping tool has four crimp
nests. The largest crimp nest (4) is used for crimping 10
and 12 gauge wires. The second largest crimp nest (3) is
used for crimping 14 and 16 gauge
wires. The third
largest crimp nest (2) is used for crimping 18 and 20
gauge wires. The smallest crimp
nest (1) is used for
crimping 22 to 26 gauge wires. The crimp nests are
referenced in the table (farther
above) under the crimp
tool nest color.
