Ok folks, I've got a limited number of these back in stock now, with more on the way in a couple months.

I've decided (at least for now) to just list them directly on the Integral Audio website: https://www.integralaudio.com/index....t-harness.html.

 

I assume it comes with the RCA to RCA adapters shown in the upper right of the picture?

 

yes it does

 

Thanks IA , I went ahead and ordered one. Dumb question but this needs some sort of volume control correct? via processor or line out ****

 

The headunit controls the overall volume level at the harness output. The only thing you'd need a volume control for would be if you wanted to control the relative volume of a subwoofer independently.

 

Are the other wires in this harness useful? Like a ground or switched power?

 

The RAD_ON signal (basically switched power) is on pin 1 (solid black wire) of the X15 connector right next to the X9331. There are several grounds passing through the X9331, but I would not use any of them - piggy-back onto any of the common grounds throughout the vehicle - there's always one nearby. Closest one that I recall near the X9331 is up and behind, and there is another hiding right below the door sill.

 

oh, ok great. the last car i attempted to put sound in was an acura rdx with an els system, total pita. balanced pair to amp and volume and processing was all done in the amp over canbus
i abandoned that adventure

HK in my 2011 doesnt sound bad, but its not quite enough to keep up with windows down highway cruising for a while. and i think ive killed a tweeter up front already

 

It looks they you are out of stock. Are anymore going to be made at some point?

 

I still have a few left, and more are being made in early May. Where are you seeing them out of stock? Are you using this link: https://www.integralaudio.com/index....t-harness.html ?

 

Mine was delivered today! Good lookin harness thanks

 

Thanks, I think I clicked the wrong link or something....

 

I got my harness a while back but didn't try to install until today. Problem is I can't find where this goes. At the receiver is a harness plug with pins and blades. At the stock amp is the same type of plug. I have the H/K stereo with MINI BOOST CD. Will this harness not work on my stereo?

 

it goes at the driver footwell on the left side under the panel

 

Refer to Integral Audio's install manual in the "Installation" tab here:
https://www.integralaudio.com/index....oofer-r56.html

Specifically, page 9, "17. Access x9331 & x15 Connectors" has a reference photo that should help a lot.

 

Question:::I have a 2012 MCS with the Harmon/Kardon system, will it be possible to use this connector to put in a signal processing unit like the kicker front row and have the modified signal then go to the factory amp? And continue using the H/K speakers
any help or direction will be appreciated.

 

without putting much thought into it you could probably make it work, but i dont know how much you'll gain by doing so.
If i understand this connector correctly it reduces the output voltage of the headunit to a usable (safe) voltage for most amplifiers.
So if you go from this harness to processor and back into the harness you will have a reduced signal voltage now going to the amplifier.

IA seems to be pretty well on top of the inner workings of the the mini systems hopefully he will have a little more insight

 

Randeez is correct - there isn't much to be gained from doing that, and in fact you'd likely make things worse. And spend a chunk of $$ in the process.

There is very significant eq built into the HK amp, and you'd be fighting with that. Much of it is speaker correction, so you wouldn't want to defeat it anyway. The rest is incorrectly applied vehicle correction and absurd tuning, which you could do without, but you'd need some pretty sophisticated measurement capability to know that you got that part corrected. This is what the electrical signal coming OUT of the HK amp looks like:



Red=Front Door Woofer, Green=Front Mid & Tweet, Orange=Rear Woofer, Purple=Rear Tweet

Realistically, you are just going to waste $400+. Save it, and put it towards our Soundstage.

 

Ok so this connector has two RCA coming off the front signal. Does the rear signal come through this as well? So in other words the H/K stock radio sends only left and right to the stock amp and the amp does the fader front to back. This signal is just tapped into the front signal until the wires that are labeled are cut. So if I use only one set of RCA to a volume control to the sub amp. The factory amp with continue to work as normal. Then if I cut those wires labeled and run the second set of RCA to the amp running the front channels, when I have the fader to the front I will have full signal to the aftermarket amp. If I put the fader to the rear will the factory amp still only power the 6x9 rears? So I can turn off the rears by setting the fader to the front. If I wanted to install some aftermarket 6x9 And not use a subwoofer how would I do that and have the fader work as normal.

 

Just ordered one of these today. Seems like a great product, can't wait til it arrives!!!

 

glad to see theses are back, i will be ordering soon. These will work for HK sound system for a tap for subwoofer right?

 

Correct.

 

Got mine yesterday morning, works like a charm!!!

Thanks Integral Audio......

 

finally put connector in last weekend, as well as running rca/power back. connector couldnt have been any easier to install.
built a box for the boot , ended up being about 34x14x4 and i fiberglassed in the tool kit area (total about 8" deep) only enough airspace for a decent 10" but should make some noise. I enjoy building but hate finishing so i will be dropping it off to have a cosmetic trim piece with a grill made in the next few weeks.
