Elite Base Connector

The Base Connector is the portion of the harness that will plug into the vehicle (either at the radio or amp) and provides the signal the vehicle offers, that will be sent through the harness Accessory to your aftermarket amp or processor.

This is based on your vehicles electrical package and where the signal comes from.

If your vehicle has a factory amplifier, the connection will need to be made there. Otherwise the connection is made at the radio receiver. Things to know when looking at the harness are:

• Year
• Make
• Model
• If its equipped with a factory amplifier like Bose, Alpine, Sony

There are 2 options in this case.

1. You can go with an Elite T-Harness for subs, and when you are ready to add your speaker amplifier you can come back for a Loopback Harness Accessory.
2. You go with a Loopback Harness and tie the wire ends on the harness to each other (signal side to the return side) essentially creating a 4ch T-harness. That can be wired to a 2/4ch LOC for subs and once you decide to expand your system, the ends would be taken back apart. Opening once again the Loopback Harness to offer a signal and return.

The Accessory you require is based on what you are installing.

- A T-harness will provide a front left, right signal along with power and ground.

- A Loopback Harness will provide left, right, front and rear signal from the factory radio/amplifier to the aftermarket amplifier/processor/LOC and then return it to the factory speaker locations via the factory wiring.

This will depend on the amplifiers input sensitivity, if it can not only handle a high level input but the output your vehicle offers. In a non-amplified system a high level would be about 10v, in a factory amplified system a high level is anywhere from 28-35v of input sensitivity. You want to be sure and check your amps manual beforehand.
