what wires do i splice into for subs

okay guys, heres my question im using my stock head unit, so i needed to buy the little box that connects speaker wire into the av cables, my question is which wires do i splice into on the back of the stock head unit???

any help would be great thanks

The speakers beside the rear seats are the factory subs. They are dual coil. Just tap in to one set, on each sub !!!
I mounted my crossover in the rear w/ the amp, which made it easy to run the wires back under the plastic covers. Good Luck !!!

yeah i just went ahead and splliced into the very rear speakers, works fine they sound good

REALLY?! dude...i garauntee that you're either not used to the sound of subs, or something's fishy here...but the signal to the ones in the hatch are just midrange. I bet if you tapped into the bass speakers next to the rear seats you'll enjoy a totally different sound

you may be right, ill go ahead and do that tonight and let you know if there is any change

You should notice a nice change !!!

well im hoping too, now im gonna have 4 speakers with spliced wiring lol, oh well no one will now except you all here

check the wiring guides at the top of the "sounds/electronics" page and makesure you tap the right wires. YOu might be able to get away with only tapping into one speaker-i believe it's a mono signal for bass

well last night i just went ahead and tapped into the subs from both sides,
HOLY SHIT the sound is so much cleaner and louder i couldnt belive it, i thought that for a second this wasnt my system lol, it hits nice

thanks for all the help

hahahahahhaha :mel: I KNEW YOU'D HEAR A DIFFERENCE! :rockon:

want it to sound even better?
get a pioneer premier headunit, and run some RCA's back to the amp.
thats how its done right.

i would except aftermarket head units look like complete ass imo,

i have yet to see a aftermarket deck that fits the hole properly without having one of those stupid looking plastic things that holds it in,

i dunno and is alpine better than pioneer your talking about, show me a link

i'm with you 100% I hate the look of aftermarket H/U's. I like the functionatlity and accesability that the stocker has.

You can make a mouting bracket out of your material of choice in lieu of using one of those crappy plastic things.

I've been trying to find my website on sounddomain for my Explorer that I sold. But I can't seem to locate it. Used some 3/4 MDF. Covered it in speaker box carpet. It looked badass.

Whenever I get around to replacing this one I'll do the same thing. But don't hold your breath, don't know when I'll do that yet. I will post up some pics of it though.

yeah for sure thanks man
