1. Disconnect negative battery cable.

2. Remove the cover of the battery junction box. Fig. 1

3. Make sure supplied fuse is not installed in fuse holder and connect the subwoofer power wire to

the stud pictured in figure 2. Torque to 4.7Nm (42in-lb)

Route the subwoofer power wire toward the passenger side firewall and secure with supplied wire

ties.

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

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

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!

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.

Opentheharnessbyremovinganytape:



•

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.



Striptheinsulation:



•

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

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.
