15in subwoofer install in my 2015 Genesis with the premium 17 speaker system

[carguy75]

What color wires are the subwoofer positive and negative

I do not remember. I just went by location as described in the 17 speaker factory amp wiring diagram. I am not sure if Hyundai uses specific wire colors on every car.

Note: Always remove the amp fuse located in the fuse box on the right side in the trunk before working on the factory amp to prevent a short which could fry your stock amp.

I used this diagram with success. Just click on the image to enlarge it.

I figured it it was the box I believe the guy at the audio store said it was because the loc had resistors and not transistors I believe so he had a box with then in there I tried it and it worked .

I have decided to install a 15in Power Acoustic subwoofer in my Genesis to gain a bit more low end sound. The stock system sounds good to me but the bass response is fairly weak with the stock sub.

I am collecting the items needed for the install such as amp kit, line out adapter, and some tap screws.

I originally was thinking that I had to tap an signal wire from the rear deck subwoofer that requires me to remove the deck deck panel(and rear seat), however I learned that the stock amp is located in trunk behind the trunk liner on the driver side. Therefore, I would only have to tap the wires that send the sound to the stock subwoofer which makes this install much easier than I thought it would be. I would be able to do the entire sub/amp install inside the trunk area since the battery is also located in the trunk as well. The only panel I would need to remove would be the trunk liner/trim panels.

I will only set the amp crossover to send the subwoofer a really low 40hz signal so that it only provides a low end response that I can feel in the driver seat without being "boomy" and overpowering the rest of the sound from the other speakers.

I used this subwoofer in another car(2005 Mercury Montego) in the same fashion to boost the stock premium sound system with weak 6X9 subs in the rear deck. The sound was amazing, clean and solid.

I will do a DIY on the install for anyone else who wants to add a subwoofer to the stock Genesis system.

Hey I new to this forum. But I was reading your forum. And I was wondering if you could help me with my problem with my subs

I will do my best. What is the issue?

Today I finished the subwoofer install and it sounds great. I ended up bypassing the LOC converter signal sensing feature and connected the amp remote power wire to the stock amp accessory power wire and it works perfectly. The Crunch amp turns and off like the stock amp.

I have the Crunch amp turned all the way down so that bass is not overbearing compared to the stock speakers. The sub hits hard and deep without waking up the neighborhood. I tested the sound with a higher setting and it was too loud for easy listening while having my garage sound like an audio installation shop. I actually turn the input amp level to the lowest setting as well as the LOC. The amp crossover is set to 40hz so that it just produce bass that can be felt in the driver seat similar to my home stereo system with a 10in Polk subwoofer. I am happy with the results. The 15in sub really highlights how weak the stock sub is in providing clean sounding bass that can be felt.

My power and ground wires connected.



The LOC connected and secured with 3M tape.



The proper diagram for the 17 speaker premium sound system and the correct wires to tap for remote power and a signal for sound.


Stock amp accessory wire tapped to remote power the aftermarket amp.


The finished product

Did you drill your own ground hole?

Since my G80 has the SUB +, -, and ACC wires, do I even need a converter? Can I just tap them and bring them straight to the amp? My kicker amp only seems to have RCA inputs for the signal. How to I convert the tapped wires on the harness to the RCA input? Only part I'm stumped on. Since having the battery in the trunk makes this pretty easy. I'm relatively inexperienced with this as, well. If this seems like a noob question lol.

The high level inputs are too high for most high input capable subs, and the car amp drops the circuit because there's insufficient load. I have a PAC Locpro in mine for rca conversion.

Gotcha. I have a converter from my old setup. So I will use it. Just need some wire taps. Thank you!

Yes. I picked a spot in my trunk under the liner. I used a 1in long shelf-tapping screw.

Here is where I tapped my wires off the 17 speaker factory amp for my subwoofer signal and remote wire. Just be sure to remove the amp fuse before splicing into the amp wires to avoid shorting out the stock amp.

Unfortunately it's a different amp and connectors for 2018+ begrudgingly, I'm having a shop take care of it now. Thank you for your help though.

No problem. I did not realize you had a 2018 model. I assumed you had a 2015 model since you posted on my 2015 subwoofer thread.

How did you turn off the noise control ?

I get the noise canceling rumble how did you stop this?

 

[gwalters92]

Yes, that is how I connected my aftermarket amp. I tapped the factory amp subwoofer speaker output channel and the remote turn on lead. The line-out converter is connected to the subwoofer speaker output. The factory amp remote wire goes directly to my aftermarket amp turn-on input. I used wire taps to acquire the signals from the stock amp
