Complete Audio System Wiring Diagram!

Thank me later.



I paid the $11 for access to the wiring diagrams online to solve my Amp/DSP problem.

Turns out the AMP/DSP are the same component.  Also looks like you can tap an unprocessed signal from the front via the Audio Control Module or back on the input side of the DSP/AMP.


Possible issue might be loss of volume control with tapping the signal pre-amp since the DSP/amp might control the volume digitally.  Have not verified this.  A work around is if your aftermarket DSP has a remote volume control, most do.

I wonder if its the same thing I can pull up on AllData at work? lol

Dunno, let me know.

When I manage to get a free minute during this time of year, ill try and remember to look.

Its remote start season, and im about 3 weeks out for my next available appointment. Yay....

Talked to some other folks who have done installs on other vehicles such as the Flex and F150.  Apparently, there is a high likelihood that getting a signal pre-amp will result in a loss of volume control and SYNC capabilities because the AMP/DSP also acts like a computer combining the SYNC features with the audio signal prior to output.

Now you know why people either completely remove the HU or just get a signal post amp.

Recently completed my install and I recommend getting signal after the factory amp.  I used the Rockford 360.3.  Flattens out factory EQ and even gives you a amp turn on.  Check out Audison and JBL as well both make processors that would work well.

I just finished my setup (2 kicker L7 12s) and I used a audiocontrol lc2i for signal processing.  Sounds great.

Any pics/audio of your installs, guys?  Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Bringing back an old thread.  Looking at the wiring diagram that is posted in the first post, do you think the wiring colors are the same for the 2015 XSport with the 12 speaker Sony setup?

I am really not happy with the volume level from the OEM setup and believe this is where I am going to start upgrading.
