US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

[Kaz]

Good morning, I’m fixin to start disassembling everything this morning. After playing around with the gas pedal, broom stick and putting my ear next to the rear speaker I can hear the fake noise. Your thread just saved me a ton of frustration, cursing and breaking things. Thanks again
I’m not done searching the forum, but so far I haven’t found wiring on the tweeters. Do you by chance know the colors for +- on the door speakers? I’m going to tap into those for the tweeters.

I don't unfortunately but there are several threads like this that might more detail. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/initial-results-after-adding-tweeters.5742/

Got distracted with errands today but had enough time to fix the engine noise and wire the sub. It sounds a million times better with just the sub. I’m gonna tackle the tweeters tomorrow morning. I found the thread with the wire colors.

@Ryan_929 there's a great video on the "adding a sub" thread that is really good at showing all of the dismantling and access. if you do open up the passenger rear area where the sub is, see if you can snap a pic of the actual wire harness with the green wire you snipped from a distance that makes it obvious which harness it is and it's location.

After watching the video, the access to this spot is really easy to get to, but the wiring harness wasn't obvious given there are a few back there that plug into the black sub. Thanks in advance if you are able to get to it and good luck on the tweeter install.

So I looked backed through my photos and realized the video I thought I was recording wasn’t actually recording so all I have is the initial portion of taking the trim off. I tried to screen shot the best I could with a yellow arrow pointing to the wire bundle. I’ll take the trim off and get a better pic today. It’s super easy to get to and should only take about five minutes. Pull the corner trim from the right side (passenger for me). The wire harness you need is the far left bundle of wires that connects into the bottom of the black amp. There are three sets of wiring bundles the connect to the black amp. Cut back the electrical tape on the left bundle and it’ll be the green (with a thin yellow stripe) wire. Wrapped the exposed wire ends and that was it.

Agree, I saw the access was a quick pop off of that side panel in the other video I referenced. Thanks for providing this pic. I think I can see which one it is now with this pic as a point of ref. Appreciate it brother.

This is SUPER simple clear view...if I only had a time machine and zipped forward to see this lol
