Can I use the 70-1722 harness with this unit if I have premium sound in the 08 Honda CRV EX-L? I seem to be missing the subwoofer once installed

The 70-1722 is purely for a 4 speaker connection which explains why no sound would go to the sub. Without seeing how the sub was wired with premium sound I could not for sure make the best recommendation. It would be best to have a local store look at the wiring for your OEM equipment to make that determination.

Logitech replaced my entire speaker system when my Control Unit went bad, so I have a full system without a Control Unit. What I'm wondering is: is there a way to hook the sub up to a receiver? I can easily hook up the fronts, center and rears via the receiver's Class 2 Wiring hookups, but there is no way to do so with the sub, which would have to be modded. Any ideas?

Depends in your install, but normally you will require an adaptor to fit your factory speaker harness

This will allow you to add aftermarket amplifiers to the factory system. It can be in addition to, or instead of the factory amplifiers. However, the documentation states that this will not work with "premium" factory amplified systems, so it may be a good idea to check with their tech support just to be safe. 866-931-8021

I'm not sure exactly but I know the boss unit does have another plug connector that doesn't use the rca at all. you may need to attach that pug instead. if not use the left input and hope for the best. because it's bass it shouldn't be too noticeable. also maybe go to a car audio shop and ask one of the guys and see what they say. I wired mine from the rear speakers using a line output converter but that's essentially what you already have coming from your stereo. sorry that I couldn't be more of a help. good luck!

The past two units I purchased from Crutchfield; and you can tell them what vehicle you're installing into and they will send the correct wiring harness which will plug into your unit and plug directly into the existing harness of your vehicle. The instructions definitely make the job easier than it looks. You shouldn't have any problem at all.

Anything is possible but why would you want to. I'm sure you could intercept either the high or low input speaker leads to insert this JL clean sweep but you would need a JL HD digital amplifier to do this right with the signal processing you will need once you've cut into either one of these signals. Not exactly sure where you would in this type of car / system due to the complexity of the 7.1 audio system in that type of car. Adding this device to give you more subs would be the only reason for finding an installer smart enough to cut into this system. Its a toss up whether or not this will have a negative result by adding to this system. Once you've added an amp to this system there could be distortion issues with the surround sound system. A cheap amp is going to create issues with current draw which can steal current from the surround sound BMW amplifiers. The JL HD amps will solve this but it would be a good idea to change your battery to a jell core Optima type battery to stiffen the current draws for the amps. You will only be able to control these subs with the separate volume control knob that comes with the clean sweep and not through the dash or steering wheel controls. These clean sweep products are only for those cars with stock OEM head units and the owner of the car doesn't want to install some crazy in dash unit but they want to add an after market system for there cars. This isn't meant for what your situation to be honest. If you can afford that car and aren't happy with the system then wreck the entire system out and rewire it to a competition standard. Easiest way to have a guaranteed loud and clear system. But that's just me. Hopefully this helps. If you have more questions just fire away.

The vehicle has a separate four-connector plug for speaker connections. If your new aftermarket stereo has a single plug, you can still attach both of these to it without issue, as the total number and type of wires is the same, and in some cases you may even have extra wires from the head unit you do not even need, like a power antenna control wire (use a piece of heat shrink tube to bend these back on themselves and keep them from grounding). Everything is color-coded on these and matches all new head units' color-coding so there's no guessing what goes where.

Probably not. I used to work in the industry ( 1983-2007 ( not an installer)), and my memory tells my there were always special harnesses for Bose. Bose was always somewhat proprietary. If I remember correctly you will need an additional harness. It depends on whether or not you have amplified speakers. Some Bose systems used self amplified speakers ( each speaker has its own amp attached directly to the frame of the speaker ). If so, you effectively need special Bose high to low adapters to reduce the speaker output to line level. You should contact Metra online for Bose system vehicles to see if there is an additional or different harness needed.

Well sort of. It's just a generic one, where one end connects to the stereo and the other end is for you to splice together, (using some form of wire connectors) with your factory harness. I got an after market harness from crutchfield, only way to go, just plug two ends together.

Doesn't matter. I have a Yamaha rxv3000. The output was going vad, so one suggestion was to disconnect speakers and reconnect. I bought these plugs. They cleaned up the connections, but I had to get the unit serviced to fix the problem - all perfect now

You can look up how to wire you sub if you need help. It all depends on the amp and sub set up. Crutchfield is a good place to look up stuff or just google it. They can teach you how to set your gain and lpf also.

I don't believe so, my installation involved 4 speakers and I only used one harness

I have a 2000 explorer with the factory amp in the back. It works perfectly. If you don't have the factory sub in the back you don't need the harness with the rca jacks.

I research all my car audio on the Crutchfield site, and buy most of the installation gear from them as well. That way I get excellent install instructions, and easy phone support during the install if I run in to issues.I think it's always a good idea to check their site, in case the gear you're buying requires adapters to fit your vehicle.I've bought most of my HU's from there, and the tech support is second to none.

I used Audio Express for my install. They did an excellent job and have compatibility info on the stereo units. Pretty sure theyre nationwide too. They shd be able to answer your questions. Good luck.

I hope you still have the operating manual for this thing because that's where it looks like the answer is, on pages 29-32 under "System Setup". Use "AMP" to assign the rear channels to ROOM 2 and SW M to select the subwoofer mode. There's a "gotcha" here too. There are 2 sets of speaker jacks for the rear channels. One for SURROUND and one for ROOM 2. They are not interchangeable. I learned this the hard way through trial and error. Good luck. This is an amazing piece of equipment once it's configured properly
