Frequently Asked Questions - APH-CH03 PAC

How do I install the APH-CH03 harness?

Locate the vehicle's factory amplifier, disconnect the white 22-pin, gray 22-pin, and gray 10-pin connectors. Connect the APH-CH03 harness to those connectors, then connect the male connectors from the harness to the amplifier. Ensure all connectors are plugged in for ANC deactivation.

Will this harness work with any vehicle?

No, it is designed for vehicles with a factory amplifier and active noise cancellation (ANC) system. Verify compatibility with PAC's application guide or contact technical support.

How does the ANC deactivation feature work?

When all connectors are properly plugged in, the harness intercepts the ANC signals and disables them, preventing interference with aftermarket amplifiers. If any connector is left unplugged, ANC will remain active.

Can I leave some factory speakers connected to the factory amplifier?

Yes. For speakers you want to remain powered by the factory amplifier, simply connect the corresponding colored wires from the male and female connectors (color-to-color). For example, to keep speakers 3 and 4 on the factory amp, connect Yellow/Yellow-Black and Green/Green-Black wires together.

How do I identify speaker polarity?

Positive polarity wires have a solid color. Negative polarity wires have a stripe running along the length of the wire (e.g., Red/Black is negative, Red is positive).

Which speakers correspond to each numbered wire?

Use a tone generator (PAC part TL-PTG2) to test each wire. Connect the tone generator to the harness and listen to which speaker produces sound. Write down the speaker location (e.g., Front Left Tweeter) in the 'Speaker Description' box for that numbered wire.

What should I do if the vehicle doesn't have all 12 speakers?

Some vehicles may not have corresponding speakers for all wires. It's important to identify which speakers are present using a tone generator. Unused wires can be left disconnected or capped to prevent short circuits.

Can I connect the harness directly to an aftermarket amplifier?

Yes. The longer loose wires from the APH-CH03 are intended to be connected to your aftermarket amplifier or passive crossovers according to the wiring chart. Ensure correct polarity and speaker assignment.

Where can I get technical support?

Contact PAC via email at [e-mail] or call 866-931-8021 (US) or 727-592-5991 (International). They can assist with compatibility, installation, and troubleshooting.

Is there a warranty on the APH-CH03?

PAC typically offers a limited lifetime warranty on their harnesses, but verify with the included documentation or contact support for specific warranty terms.

USER MANUAL APH-CH03 PAC

Introduction and Features

The APH-CH03 simplifies speaker wire connections when adding aftermarket amplifiers. Aftermarket amplifiers can be easily added with no need to cut or modify a vehicle's original wiring. This harness has an additional feature of deactivating the active noise cancellation (ANC) system in applicable vehicles that are equipped with it. Each pair of speaker wires has been labeled with a number to help with tracking what vehicle speaker corresponds to it.

Installation Notes

1. All connectors should be plugged in when using this wiring harness in order for the ANC deactivation feature to work properly.
2. Not all applicable vehicles will come equipped with a corresponding speaker for all of the wires populated in our harness. It is important to understand which speakers the vehicle is equipped with.
3. The positive polarity speaker wires on the APH-CH03 are indicated by a solid color.
4. The negative polarity speaker wires on the APH-CH03 are indicated by a stripe running along the length of the wire.
5. If you are leaving any of the factory speakers connected to the factory amplifier, simply connect the speaker wires (color for color) between the male and female connectors. For example, If you want speakers 3 and 4 to be powered by the factory amplifier, simply connect the Yellow and Yellow / Black, Green and Green / Black wires from the male connector to the Yellow and Yellow / Black, Green and Green / Black wires from the female connector.

Installation Steps

1. Locate the vehicles factory amplifier and disconnect the White 22-pin, Gray 22-pin and Gray 10-pin connectors.
2. Connect the APH-CH03 harness to the connectors that were disconnected in the previous step.
3. Connect the male connectors from the APH-CH03 to the amplifier.
4. Use a tone generator (PAC Part# TL-PTG2) to verify what speakers in the vehicle correspond to the speaker numbers on the harness.
5. Use the wiring chart in this manual to write down what speaker in the vehicle corresponds to the speaker numbers labeled on the APH-CH03. For example, after testing with a tone generator you found that the Red and Red/Black wires labeled Speaker 1 correspond with the Front Left Tweeter in the Vehicle; you then write down Front Left Tweeter in the Speaker Description box for Speaker 1.
6. Connect the longer loose wires from the APH-CH03 to your aftermarket amplifier or passive crossovers according to the tables in this manual that were filled out in the previous step.
