Hi All,
After hearing the Mark Levinson system in my fiancée's new lexus, i have decided its time to rip out the crappy BO system.
After countless hours of reading threads here, i would like to consolidate what i have found and get feedback for my relatively simple plan. I am attaching a wiring diagram of what i plan to do based on the the information i have gathered from here.
System wise, the only things i have decided on are:
Amp: JL VX 1000/5 (love the simplicity of having one unit (amp+dsp) to handle all speakers (75rms x 4 + 600 sub)
Zen interface
Potentially a Jl sub that will bit under the back seat (the single flip up one). Open to suggestions
Have not decided on components yet- will get to that later
Below is what i have gathered from all my research-

Below is what i have gathered from all my research-
- Run 4 ga power and ground from battery through smaller grommet on passenger side with distribution block in rear
- Run new wires for tweeters to back
- Using this harness: Speaker Connection Harness - PAC (pac-audio.com) connect the stock BO wire to the harness and then connect the harness to the ZEN
- This allows Can HI/LO to the Zen and peels off the speak wire for easy connection
- Power/ground Zen through distro blocks- DO NOT use stock wiring
- Zen to Amp via toslink
- Wires from pac harness to passive crossovers
- Speaker out wires from amp to crossovers and sub
