Default Re: Time to put in the subwoofer...please share your expertise!

the removal tools are available from Crutchfield, as is the Scosche VW01 wiring harness. not that you need the wiring harness, but there is a pinout there if you cant find one on the forum.

there are existing holes behind the battery (IIRC, you'll have to take it out to see them, or do a search for more details).

when you run your power from the battery to the amp, run a second wire for ground. no smaller than 8 gauge, and fuse the power!

its always a good idea to separate audio wires from power wires; usually run them on separate sides of the car. but that center console is just so damn convenient...

don't use the yellow wire to turn the amp on and off, use the remote wire that's used to turn the factory amp on and off. its in the stereo harness that connects to the rear of the head unit.

securing it depends on how creative you want to get; could be as simple as velcro, or a piece of plywood cut out to the shape of the trunk floor. but how do you secure the plywood (masonite) to the trunk floor if you're not drilling?


have fun take pictures --
