How to put subs in my car?

Question

I have two 10 inch subwoofers i would like to put in my car but dont know if i can hook it into the factory installed amp. Can i? The amp is an Infinity amp and its mounted under my trunk. If i can, where do i hook it up to the amp?

Answer 1

check to see how many watts the stock amp has. my gut feel is that you will have to get a new amp to be able to power the subs and you will have to get a heavier gauge power wire with an inline fuse.

Answer 2

Take it to a place that installs systems. They will do a much better job on making it sound better w/out fuc**** S**t up.

Answer 3

You can hook it up to the stock head unit although it is not recommended i would suggest buying a aftermarket head unit...

Yes it is possible to do so! it is essential that you have an earth connected though (a wire from the amp going into a metal bolt in the boot, prevented eletric shocks etc) simply go into halfords and buy an amp wiring kit, the amp can be run directly to the car battery.

1)make sure the engine is switched off and disengage the battery(simply unscrew the bolt holding the positive wire in place) wrap with a kitchen towel and move to one side.

2) under the drivers side in the footwell there should be a hole in all the cars simply puss the wire through the hole from the bonnet into the car.

3) run the wire through the car, under the matting or the plastic pannels just either unscrew the pannels and lay the wire behind or lifet up the carpet.(the carpet can easily be pushed back underneath the seal that holds it in place)

4) while doing this it is important to wire up the head unit aswell to save time,

5) in the passanger footwell there will be a hole leading into behind the headunit area, push the wire through and connect to theback of the head unit

6)once all the wires are in place and connected, relay the pannels and the mats hiding the wiring!

7)the amp should either be connected to a sub or the side of the trunk in order for stability within the wiring!

8)wires can be clipped to the undersides of the boot and kept out of sight using small clips! 12 for 2 pounds in halfords.

9) strip the wire down that it in the bonnet, place on the battery positive connection and s***w the bolt back on, this is now creating the power to the amp which will power the subs. and created great sound.

P.S. allow wires to run down the 2 sides of the car to avoid interference within the sound! the amp able to power the speakers easily.

Answer 5

No I believe you will have to get an after market amp
