You are a rockstar dude. This is awesome! Thanks.

[darbgnik]

That's great news!

So you didn't have to end up connecting the jumper in the trunk?

[Dman]

Wow, there are going to be a lot of folks who owe you a drink. What great info from a great contributor in a great club.

OK, now, who has a highly discounted ACR for me, j/k ... unless you do, lol, but seriously. ;-)

Nope, that was not necessary. Not sure what it does other than the active damping bus connection

Someone capture this and post in the "How To" section so it gets saved in the right spot! Way to go! Kind of reminds me of the video games these days, so many moves and processes to make things happen. I am still an old Atari/Intelivision/Coleocovision/early Nintendo kind of guy! Joystick with a button on top. Ha! Ha! Serious good work!

Hey, Is That Only For The 3 Speaker Set Up To Go 18,? What About The 12 Going To 18 ?, What Would Be The Procedure ?, Being That The Doors Work, Just Not The 2 Rear Subs.

[ViperSmith]

how many people did you have to yell at to get this figured out

[2doorrocket]

Hey, Is That Only For The 3 Speaker Set Up To Go 18,? What About The 12 Going To 18 ?, What Would Be The Procedure ?, Being That The Doors Work, Just Not The 2 Rear Subs.

I sent the instructions.

[1.8t]

So for those of us with TA's that upgraded to the 18 speaker system and cannot get the 2 new subs working, is this a potential fix for us as well?

[2doorrocket]

If the sales code wasn't added, and your vehicle was not reconfigured then yes, RCA needs to be added and the vehicle needs to be reconfigured. It states that in the instructions for the upgrade kit.

[1.8t]

My vehicle has had RCA added and it has been reconfigured. New subs are not working. Will look into purchasing this amp to get them going.

[VENOM V]

I will admit that you had annoyed me in the past, but all is forgiven. You have redeemed yourself, nice work. I may just do this too.

I don't know, but I think all 2016's get a different amp, not just ACR's, or cars with 18 speakers etc.

[2doorrocket]

I don't know, but I think all 2016's get a different amp, not just ACR's, or cars with 18 speakers etc.

You're correct, I sent him a message asking him to explain his situation to see if I can help him out. This amp is for 2016MY+

[Batmobile]

Ordering and building a 1 of 1 ACR Extreme,

What was the total cost for the upgrades, when you go from the stock 3 speaker setup to the upgraded 18 speaker system.

Anyone know what you get for the $1,900 Harmon stereo upgrade with the GTC program?

Thanks

If you go the 1 of 1 program with ACR Package it includes the 12 speaker system. If you opt for the stereo upgrade, the $1,900 gets you the 18 speaker HK system.

Here is some more info on the stereo system from Harman Kardon:
