T-taps suck.... But they are an easy way to make a connection if wiring is not a persons strong suit.
I am glad it all worked out and I can not wait to get my Silver Package. Hopefully next week.

Curious as to why detailed drawings and instructions don't come with the amp? Since these all use the same radios and speaker placement looks like an exact drawing or pictures would be fairly simple from the seller?

A detailed drawing would have made no difference what so ever. The problem was a bad connection made by the installer, thanks to a faulty wire connector.

The package comes with detailed instructions, schematic and photos to help you along the way, you really couldn't ask for more.

I did not have a multitester, but once I picked that up I had a sure fire way to find the bad connection. I did receive pictures with my install but again how I had it wired wired was correct which ended up not being the problem, I did post some pictures in my previous post. There are several ways to run your lines, some remove there tanks and run that way and there are different area to ground from. I chose to ground on the neck of frame which brought it closer from where I was going to ground in the first place.

I do not like T-taps either, but for the people who are not able to fire up a soldering iron and do some fancy wiring there really is no other choice.

I understand but it seemed where to ground and several other questions were asked. I just wasn't sure why people were talking about grounding and power from different places if the instructions said exactly what to do.

Ya good idea I read 48 posts wanting to know if you got it to work.


Felt bad for the guy. LOL

Default amp plug

So i got the mini arc amp off ebay. The problem is, it didn't come with the plug that allows you to hook up to the HK unit. Does anyone have that plug?
