Wow I really appreciate the detailed response man!
Didn't know that about ANC that's interesting. I've also heard that the exhaust note comes out of the speakers or is that not the case on the 2LT either?
As for the 12v, I don't EVER recommend anyone to do it that way pictured. Buy a fuse tap don't wrap the wire around the fuse leg. But that is a great one to tap into I have one device tapped into it already. But see that was one issue I originally had when everything was all hooked up. The amp wasn't turning on.. I had and still do have the 12v going in to the LOC where it works correctly, but until I added the 12v to the amp as well, couldn't get the amp itself to turn on. Took a while to troubleshoot that, but that's the only way I could get the amp to come on. But the LOC doesn't take long to turn on and once it is on it stays on so not sure that'd be the reason for the initial delayed bass.
And that's interesting about the accubass. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try your way out.
You're right about the orientation I realized I messed that up after I watched the video. The orientation took a while to get right but the color scheme really helped to assure complete accuracy. Thts why I shared the diagrams so I'm not telling people the wrong thing they can double check and go by the pictures.
I agree with you about the bass. I actually was confused when I played a song for the first time I initially thought it was going to be cut off from the front speakers because like you said that's where the full bass seems to come from. I actually like the side bass as well though. Guess it will come down to personal preference. I'd probably feel empty almost like something's missing if I took the bass away from the sides. Happy you shared that though because I'll keep that in mind. Maybe that's why my bass is initially delayed? Because it's "filler bass" I'm tapped in to? Did you ever have my issue either way?
I do have a short ground (well shorter than power) for the amp ground. I read it shouldn't be too short but it's supposed to be a certain length I don't remember off the top of my head and shorter than the power and you're good. Think you're probably right about the LOC should be having its own power and ground wires, why take away from the Bose amp which could possibly cause issues. It seems to be good so far; I think I have the ground and 12v spliced and that's where I added the LOC wires too, so got three wires essentially together. Woulda been an issue if I just straight took them away from the wires they were feeding, but they're still together so I think that's good. Still your way would definitely be best and optimally recommended.
Thanks again, very solid recommendations and corrections. Been years since I've done a sub install so a bit rusty hah and cars have changed.
