I took everything off the other day and can confirm it’s the same amp and wiring. I was trying to size up the amp for a replacement but I’m curious if I get a new amp will cutting off the wire actually fix the entire issue of disabling everything by any chance?
Wait did you happen to identify the wire? Should be the rpm sensor wire. You could just remove the wire from the harness and either tape it off or but a wire nut on it.
im doing my oil change now, once I get home I’ll remove and see what happens
Are you sure is not related to the Speed Sensitive volume?
Wire #16 carries the Engine speed to the Amp. It will only cancel ASE (fake engine sound) as it never sees any input.
Yes, unplugging the sub helps. But there is a little treble speaker under the dash (below steering wheel?) that still puts out the fake noise. So you would gave to find that and unplug that too. A pic of the speaker is in the ASE threads somewhere. Honestly it’s easier to just unplug one red wire from the Amp.
I unplugged that little speaker under the steering wheel but haven't noticed much of a difference. The rpm sensor is something I can't wait to disconnect because I can actually hear the system lower the bass in the music as rpms go up.
It’s actually pretty easy, you don’t need a tool, just a thin screwdriver, like the video mentions take off the side panels or just bent them enough to move the foam padding outside the amp.
remove the screws, it is the red wire. The face of the terminal that’s white, actually pops off easily. Then pull out the black tab holding the red wire housing and it will come out as smooth as butter. Taped it off like you mentioned and man, this is way easier than anything laptop related. Ran the internal diagnostic and everything passed
it’s loud, I had the ase off but with anc off i can hear the engine Revs better, I went to get the mail, but when taking everything out, be careful not to break the tabs. The wiring around the amp pop up from the back if you squeeze them.
ok soWhich wire did you disconnect?
