NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

[C-Bus Y]

Where did you splice for the switch? The remote wire going from the LOC to the amp? Looks great. Any pop sound when switching the amp on or off? Where did you find the rocker switch? Thanks!

Wired it between remote out from LOC and remote in for the amp. Very low amperage going through this remote turn on lead.

Simple switch from Amazon, easy and works great. It completes the circuit, no pop sound at all.

You the man. I appreciate it!

Curiosity killed the cat, I wanted a bit more bass.

Installed the NVX 1,000W amp this weekend. To add a layer of safety I also installed a manual switch for the amp turn on lead and can fully disable the amp when not using. This should keep the 12V battery healthier.

Sounds amazing, hits much harder. Need to trace down some new rattles.

Hello, I'm thinking of doing a similar install, how did you wire the remote turn on switch?

The remote OUT wire from the LOC goes into the switch then the other side goes to the remote IN for the amplifier. The switch simply completes this circuit.

Update on 1,000W amp. Still no problems and pounding away. I turn off the amp when getting out of the vehicle or when listening to a podcast.

if anyone is looking to upgrade and wanting to get rid of a drivers side enclosure and sub, PM me.

Where did you all ground the amp? I'm adding an Audio Control 800.1 and plan on getting power from the Penthouse but I'm not sure where to ground the amp. Additionally, I bought a harness that plugs into the subwoofer input but I'm not sure which color is which

 

[washedolvr]

I'm going to try it on a 2022, shouldn't be an issue with 15.5V as the amp can take up to 16V.
I plan on tapping power from the Penthouse. Where is the best location to ground the amp?

Where did you end up grounding the amp?

 

[C-Bus Y]

I grounded mine on the mounting bolt for the factory sub box. You can see it under the washer. Worked fine.

Did you shutdown your 12v system before installing the amp? If so what steps did you follow

100% yes. The process should be on first page of this entire thread. It links to a YouTube video. Good luck!

I used the same bolt. Thanks for the suggestion c-bus. And yes disconnect the 12v.

Did you all remove the entire trunk liner to do the install?

no, no need to touch the trunk liner for me. cabling ran under/along the riser that you remove to access the side panel

 

[C-Bus Y]

This is how much I had to remove. You should be able to fish the wires through. Plus the back seat comes out. Super easy to pull the back seat.

Has anyone gotten the NVX kit installed in their 7-seater? Their website used to say 5-seater only but I'm not seeing that detail listed anymore. I'd be having a shop install the equipment.

I currently have two 10s and an amp in the back of my Chevy Trax (MY will hopefully be delivered soon!) that I'm happy with. If anyone is willing to give an opinion, would be better to see if a shop could build enclosures for the storage bin areas using my existing stuff? If not I'd probably just buy the NVX subs, reuse my amp, and sell my current subs.

Believe the rear pockets on the 7 seater are slightly different and these boxes will not fit. Bummer.

I have the nvx enclosure & sub but wanted more power. I went with the AudioControl LC1.800. It has the built in line level inputs LC2i. I got a warning right away once everything was plugged in. I used the speaker level turn on option (GTO). For people that are worried it doesn't harm the vehicle. At first, I would pop the trunk & turn off the (GTO) switch when leaving the vehicle, but now I just installed a rocker switch up front on the side of the center console. If i forget to turn it off, i will either get a warning in the morning, which i will do the reset (10min) super easy, or I get lucky & there is no warning. Its all randomn. It is a really easy install. If anyone needs help in the Seattle area just message me.

Hello, I have a similar setup with the same exact amp. Where did you connect the power side of the switch to? I have the power side connected to the penthouse and the other side connected to my remote in on the amp but I'm still running into issues.

The remote OUT wire from the LOC goes into the switch then the other side goes to the remote IN for the amplifier. The switch simply completes this circuit.

How does your LOC get turned on? Are you using signal sensing?

Grabbed power wire from the factory amp and using signal sense from the factory sub wires. If I had to do it again I may have used the toggle switch to turn ALL of it on. This seems to work very well.

You can see the tap here.
