Yes, you will need to slpice. But that is not really a big deal if you do it correctly. Get the black basslink as it will show very little in the way of wear or dirt. With a 4 channel amp, you will use 2 for the front which will run to passive crossovers that come with the mid/tweet sets (no need to worry about caps), and the other 2 channels to the rear 2-way speakers (no need to spend too much $$ on components for the rear). The oem speakers will actually do better with more power than with the oem head as you are hitting them with a good deal of distortion as the oem head is failing to achieve the desired sound level without cranking it up all the way.

1 more quick question does this adapter have the leads for the speakers pigtailing off of it or do I have to grab the speaker leads in the doors or behind the head??

On the stock system with no amp all the leads are at the back of the head anyway right? would be nice to have an adapter that throws the leads out for you to tie in at he back of the head and run short leads to the amp, which I'll probably put under the drivers seat, so the longest leads will be the pwr and remote turn on to the bass link...I can grab the ground for it in the back.

All the other wires will run from the back of the head to under the drivers seat.
Lemme know

Ok sounds great I found the Loc4.4 for 56 bucks.

I still need to know what size the speakers are in the H3??

I get ya on the front set, I can run new speak wires to the passive crossovers from the tweets and I might run new ones from the front doors as the stock speaker wires look real weak as far as the guage of wiring used..

I might go infinity reference on the front spearates and in the rear doors and I might get a good infinity 4 channel amp to keep the system all Infinity..

what 4 channel amp wpoulf you suggest as far as the infinitys go and what power output?

so to sum it up I ned the dimenbsions of the sprahers in the H3 tweets front doors and rear doors....

plus I need a suggestion for the Infinity amp as far as a model and the power you would suggest...also it would need a pass through..I see the basslink has a crossover built in which is adjustable...yeah I got the black it will blend in with the H3 better and like you say keep the dirt/dust to a minimum.

I was thinking of how nice it would be to mount it behind the drivers rear panel similar to where the monsoon amp/sub is located ( i didnt get the monsoon system), I know bass is undirectional, if it would fit back there do you think it would sound ok there? I know on the monsoon equipped H3's the rear drivers panel has a grille in it that the monsoon sub fires through? what are your thoughts on this? It would free up the back and actuall probably sound bettter than the monsoon with the integration fo the basslink and a real nice 4 channel amp and the speakers upgraded...


I am getting stoked on the upgrade, once I get all the parts I will knock out the install.

DO you know if there is a remote turn on in the factory molex plug (non-monsoon)???

If not what do I need to do to turn the amp and basslink on?

remember I have the monsoon head but have the in car wiring for the bass stereo system. I have studied the wiring diagrams for both systems and it appears the monsoon equipped systems have low level outs/and raditionalk speaker leads to the rear amp(in the factory wiring) The base (non-monsooon system does not) it has only the traditional speaker wires off the molex..


Thanks Man, let me know on the speaker sizes and Infinity amp and speaker choice, perhaps the reference speakers would be nice?

Thanka again for all the help

Go it. Hopefully this is a pain free install..


Has anyone installed a backup camera yet. I want to get some ideals on placement for a Day/Night camera. One ideal was to mount on inside window of the rear door but some say that with the tint vision wont be that great and at night would be worthless.
