I need some help, guys.

I have a Blaupunkt San Francisco installed in my car. I was one of the first guys to wire up my own PAC-3, but didn't do the relay install to enable the mute button. I also wired up my own harness, but it is fairly ugly. The original install took me 3 days and about killed me.

I want to clean up my install with a well-done harness, with PAC unit, with mute working, and with the rear speakers. What are my options? Does anyone sell the entire kit at once? Or do I have to buy Lucid's half-harness and complete the work myself? (Did I miss anything at Lucid's site?)

Or should I just take the whole d*mn thing into an audio shop and teach them what a PAC unit is and hope they get the wiring right?

Thanks in advance,
Tanq

 

No one will make a harness that you can just plug in and have everything work. I would buy an aftermarket harness with relay and a PAC-SWIX from lucid. I bought those components from lucid and installed them my self and it was my first stereo install ever. There are enough instructions out there to help you, if you're slow and unsure about what you are doing like I was, the whole thing should take about a day.

 

Tanq,

If you want the schematic for the mute button, see my webpage. As far as a full harness, I'm not sure who, other than Lucid, would have such a thing. I did my install shortly after yours, but made sure I took the time to keep it clean...eventually I'll go back and rip it all out again, but until then, I'm happy.

Lucid,

I went in this afternoon and messed with the install. I figured out a couple of things that made the install cleaner (filing off those small posts on the mounting brackets, filing down the tabs that hang down from the HU mounting ring). The harness is still ugly, but works fine.

If I buy your harness, I have to attach the PAC unit and wire it to the OEM harness, correct?

If I use my harnesses, how do I connect your rear speakers? Just wire them directly to the rear speaker wires of my HU? Do you sell the relays for mute separately?

Thanks,
Tanq

 

You can send me your current harness, have it adjusted or you can go all new. The semi built ones simply require you match 9 color coded wires.

On every deck that goes out (even if no rear speakers are ordered) I put these on:



This allows you to easily upgrade and literally plug in your new rear speakers set if you choose to do so. Otherwise they lay there unused.

If you send me your current harness I could put the mute on and rear plugs to the lines (if you didnt remove them).

I have all different options. I will sell the SWI-X alone, with S2000 harness and the SWI-X with Relay & protected socket for those who want to do it themselves.

I'll offer support on the semi wired units.

 

Lucid,

With regard to the Neo bundles,
-- do the 5.25's fit with the seat all the way back? If not, how about the 4" versions?
-- my HU put out 25W RMS/40W peak -- is that enough to drive these speakers, or do I need an amp?

Thanks,
Tanq
