Hey guys. I got my subs and everything into my car. All I got to do left is to put in the LOC and tune my subs. I wanted to double-check on my wiring to make sure it's correct before I tap any wires.
I want to make sure I'm tapping the right wires from the clumps. If I'm not mistaken, the woofer wires are from the furthest right connector, and the subwoofer wires are from the second to the left connector, which I have diagram'd below.

I want to do the sum of the two woofer signals to one channel, and the sub to the other channels. Can you guys take a look at my supposed wiring diagram and make sure it's okay?



Which clump of wires do I find the orange wire for the remote on? There's 4 clumps, from left to right. The furthest left one doesn't have an orange wire, but the other ones do.

OMG! I was trying to find the same dang wire, yesterday! It took me so long! I finally gave up and ghetto-rigged the remote to a fuse. Always hot while the car is on. Just gotta make sure you don't turn off your stereo. Any luck with finding which one?

the wire I found was on the middle white connector (second connector if you start at the back of the car and go towards the front). it's the end red wire (closest to the back of the car) I've included a pic... hope it helps
(btw my ride is a 2006 IS250 awd without the ML system if it matters)

I'll take a look. I have '10 is250 w/o ML. I hope the colors are the same. Thanks bro!

Check this post. I hooked mine up according to these color wires and no problems.

Yes, I found a remote wire. It's on the third connector from the front of the amplifier. The orange wire furthest from the front on that connector worked fine for me. As for the LOC wiring, I currently just have the brown and green wired up. I have yet to touch the front woofer wires. I ran out of splice taps, so I didn't do that part. I'll get around to it sometime later.


I found all the wires and everything; I'm just a little confused on hooking it up to the LOC. Does summing the two woofers mean putting the positives together on one channel, and the negatives on another channel? Why do I need to do both woofers...Can't I just adjust the gain on the LOC to compensate for the amplifier putting out the sub signal at a much stronger signal?

I have a mark levinson with nav. I read around that on mine the remote wire is the thin orange wire all the way back at the last connector( rear of the car). Its working. But did I get the right wire??? Tt061980 has it in his picture as pink. Then also mentioned orange. I got lost. But pink didn't work. Any inputs ?

I have the same unit

I thought this unit was used for taping the wires for the back sub woofer
I you using it for connecting your factory speakers to a new amp or something
sorry newbie here
