Here ya go. All i have is one of me holding it. I was very surprised at the size!! It's actually smaller than the pic portrays. It was small enough that I just sat it behind my head unit and everything just bolted right back into place.

Did you do this to get better sound out of your factory speakers? How did it work?

Nice. Exactly how I wired in my 445u. I still wasn't happy though, put in a dd hu.

I got way more bass and the speakers are so much louder!! I plan on changing all of my speakers out. The plan was to match this amp up to 4 alpine type r's. I just decided to go ahead and install my amp first just to see how it would affect the stock speakers. It was pretty impressive! I did have to turn the gain way down and when it gets really loud, the tweeters pop slightly. I'll probably order my type r's in a couple of weeks.

It's smaller than a 20oz coke bottle.

If you have a 13 with the 4" screen center dash the wire harness adapter will NOT connect to your head unit, I found out after I bought it.

You have two choices, either cut and splice or be satisfied with no amp.
Pic below shows the difference between connectors.

Red is the adapter and the white is factory.

Not to hijack the thread, but i installed a Kicker Hideaway powered sub to my 2011. I put it in the location the Sony subs are (if you buy that option). This thing has way more bass than the Sony sub (compared to my buddy's) and I plan no changes to my stereo now. The factory speakers are fine (for me) once you fill the the lower frequencies. I have had some really nice sounding stereos over the years so I can be picky. This thing isn't magic, but it is the next best thing. It is easy to install too, using high level inputs as the signal and the power on trigger (blue wire method still an option).

Wait, you needed a "71" harness and a "70" harness as well?

I am confused cause I have not seen that on here for anyones build. I thought it was a single harness. Or are you simply removing the BT portion by doing separate harnesses?

Thanks.

I did some research and see what you did. I ordered the 70 and 71 through ebay for $13 shipped. Got the Alpine amp for $98 shipped and new Kappa speakers. This thread was very helpful, thanks!
