T-Harness Kits
Welcome, Please read ...
What's the big deal anyway?
Why is it important that the wire you use in your audio be twisted when dealing with "audio signal"? Its simple, twisted wire allows the cable to create an electromagnetic field that keeps out other "voltage noise" from being amplified. Improper twisted silicon or cheap 9 wire that is not twisted can create noise in the harness.
Shock-Wire© keeps the guess and noise out of your installation. Our inspiration comes for 8 years as a fiber and radio technician for the State. Just like high speed Ethernet cable or 4k & 8K HDMI, the better the protection the better the signal. Don't let the 12v echo chamber misguide you, do research and look at product specifications NOT brand names.
EMI blocking VideoWhat do I need to add a subwoofer to my factory system?
- Power cable kit that is the proper size for your amp and fuse.
- An amplifier that matches your subwoofers watts RMS, playable frequency & Ohm.
- Integration device. Some amplifiers don't need an LOC and with just a 2ch T-harness, you can take the radio signal (high level) directly in and use that to also turn on (link500.1).
- Subwoofer and box. You will want to know the box tuned frequency so that you set the HZ filter to the proper frequency. Gain match your system, fine tune for amplifier output.
What does 2ch & 4ch mean?
We like to call each speaker a channel, so when you see 2ch or 4ch or < it means:
- 2ch : This will have a Left and a Right positive and negative that will give you a mono channel to use for subwoofers.
- 4ch : This will have 2 left, 2 right with front and back. This is ideal if you plan to change out speakers and have control over your tuning or create a full range in your DSP.
Forscan?
Yes! If you have Ford, Mazda, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles from 96-22 then you NEED to get one. You will not need an LOC or DSP and can go in high level. Save money and parts.
I was told I need a new radio or amp pro with a DSP!
Absolutely not. If all you plan to do is add a subwoofer or a simple upgrade to your audio, like adding a small 4ch amp for some 6x9 speakers, then a quality amplifier and a Loop or T-harness is all you need. Anything else is an up-sell.
A DSP is only needed if you need that level of correction (not needed if you use a FORScan) or if you have a multi-amplifier set up that you want exact control over.
CAN-Bus Issues?
Our Products do not affect your HMI or can-bus system. If the harness was to fail, all your factory functions (except audio) will remain. NO black screens or dead A/C
Can I run this next to my power wire ?
Yes you can!

RCA's whom?
When comparing RCA cables to twisted wire, the advantages of twisted wire become apparent. Twisted wire excels in minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal degradation, resulting in cleaner and more accurate audio transmission. Unlike RCA cables, twisted wire offers improved noise reduction, better signal balance, and efficient power delivery. Experience enhanced audio quality and reliable performance by choosing twisted wire for your car audio setup.
Less heat + less resistance = better signal
Less heat in wire is highly beneficial to the conduction of electricity for several reasons. Firstly, excessive heat can lead to power loss and energy wastage during electrical transmission. By minimizing heat generation, more electrical energy can be effectively utilized, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption.
Additionally, excessive heat can cause wire insulation to degrade over time, leading to potential electrical issues and safety hazards. By keeping the wire temperature lower, the insulation integrity is better preserved, ensuring safer and more reliable operation of your electrical system.
When it comes to direct current (DC), it primarily travels on the outside surface of the copper conductor. This is due to a phenomenon called the "skin effect." The skin effect refers to the tendency of current to concentrate on the outermost region of a conductor, reducing its penetration into the conductor's core. As a result, most of the current flows on the surface of the wire, rather than through the entire cross-section.
This knowledge is crucial when selecting wire gauges or sizes. By choosing a larger wire gauge, you can increase the surface area available for current flow, reducing resistance and minimizing power loss. This is especially important for high-power applications, as it helps maintain efficient electrical conduction and prevents overheating.
In summary, minimizing heat in wire enhances electrical conduction by reducing power loss, preserving insulation integrity, and optimizing the flow of current, especially in direct current (DC) applications. Choosing the right wire gauge and ensuring efficient heat dissipation contribute to a more reliable and efficient electrical system overall.
