Standard HU Sub & Amp

[RJSTRAFF]

So heres my dilema.

I'm looking to install a sub and amp to the Hu i have atm. So i read martin's old thread, and he advised me on getting the speaker to RCA to speaker adaptor. Cheers btw.

So what do i need to do exactly ?

Buy sub and amp wiring etc...
Buy Rca Convertor

and now the bit me and a mate, whos pretty got a pretty good setup and knows his stuff, werent sure about.

Would i need a 4-channel amp?

2 bridge'd for the sub
and the other two for the speakers?

so running the two rear speakers to the amp. attatching the sub and thats it?

But wouldnt i lose the use of the back speakers? any help?

and if this doesnt make sense it's because im trying to remember what he said lol

awesome, just one question would i lose use of my back speakers if i had this?

[spid3r1987]

more than likely as the sub replaces them AFAIK

so hang on, you cant wire a sub and amp to your standard hu?

nah the standard hu's dont have outputs, so u av to mess about slicin into the wiring harness and puttin an adapter in so ya can plug ur amp in....imo you might aswell buy a new headunit, get better sound quality anyway!!

could i not just use one of these?

"This is very useful if you want to fit a subwoofer on to the existing system, simply connect this in parallel with your rear speakers, this will not effect the performance of the original speakers."

how true?

[mo1315]

True but as mentioned above the quality of the sound going into the amp will not be very good. Crap in = crap out

[nitrous6293]

^^^ ive just got that converter(btw, 7 quid from motorworld!!) not got round to fittin it, i agree that u wont get as good sound quality as an aftermarket HU but if ur on a budget u cant go wrong.
