So here are my sub install instructions: (new method)

a_o_smith · 08-12-2006, 09:50 PM

1: Run power wire ( youre on your own for this one)
2: Remove the lower section of the rear seat (there are 2 plastic clips on either side)
3:

**This is on the passanger side**
4:

5: this leaves you a very easy method to run the rest of the wires. Finding a switched 12v isnt easy (the one on the back of the head unit doesnt work?)

did you remove the subwoofers or setup the crossover on the new amp to just be a lower frequency than them?

also why not tap into both left and right rear speakers? or before the amp...

I'm not sure but I would be led to believe that if you tap after the amp you are going to get a worse signal than just the headunit? maybe considered a more conditioned signal...

i tried to tap before it and that didnt work at all. The rear speakers in a TT are both just fed low frequency bass (which actually works out well), and in that case a mono signal is cleaner sounding.

at the back of the stereo and it works perfect.
