Trying to wire a sub, help needed :(

ryenlevi · 04-15-2019, 11:33 PM

I have a 16 base, trying to put some bass in the trunk, found out the speaker wire behind the seats doesnt have any type of output, just looking for a easier way to wire it without taking it to a shop and paying $$$$ to get it done with them. (i prefer to do my own work, ive done this a lot on different cars)

Need more info, your question is too vague..... Is everything stock? aftermarket stereo? do you have a sub already? amp? ect. are you just looking to tap factory speaker wires for sub amp?
Give as much relevant info as you can, and you'll get the answers you seek.

Ron.....I translate Vaguelish. Op is putting some bass in his base.
He found a wire that didn't do 5hit. DIYd previous cars so he knows his way and just needs to know where to start. What's the best yet easiest way to add bass?

Exactly what im trying to do^^^^^^ sorry for the very vague question, spoke to a shop today, quoted me nearly 300$ for the adapter and a little bit of wiring

Line output converter on Amazon for $8.00 (follow instructions that come with it), tap into speaker outputs behind the headunit, run RCA's to where you want them.
