I've recently installed my Subwoofer. So I thought I'd show you how I've done mine if anyone is completely lost.
Make sure you have an Aftermarket Headunit with these outputs on the back.
-SW-Line out
-Remote line (recommended but not essential)
As well as the following items.
An Amb
A Subwoofer
A Sub Box
A Wiring Kit
Just so you know what I mean I've added links to a cheap punchy 500RMS build but obviously choose whatever you like as a set up within your own budget and personnel taste.
I've ran my power cable through a grommet under the glove box.
If you remove the glove box you a see it clearly but its not an easy job to get a wire through. I lifted the loom to the side using a screwdriver and pushed the Power cable through.
If I was to do it again I would say its best to make a new hole in the grommet then pull the Cable through that then lift the loom to the side with a screwdriver and pull the cable through. This way the grommet will sit flat and also prevent leaks but because of my "that will do attitude" I couldn't be arsed so I just covered in a sealer. :thumbup: (plus no one will ever see it behind the glovebox)
I had to remove my airbox and battery to reach the power cable sticking out the grommet once it was through to the engine bay, then I could pull it as far as I needed to reach the battery. I then sealed the Power cable in place on the grommet.
Before you put the Glovebox back you will need to remove (or install) the Headunit and plug in the Phono leads into the SW line out slots, and also connect the Remote Line (if you have one).
Theres a gap above the headunit from the back you can feed the wires down into DIM slot. You can also use this gap to hold up any wire as you re-install the headunit to prevent them from get stuck behind it and your head unit not sitting flat.
I tucked all my audio leads behind the passanger side trim that runs along the floor of the door and into the rear doorcards then under the rear seats and into the boot. You wont need to remove any trim to do this.
I also hid alot of the excess wiring behind the rear doorcards if you looking to keep things tidy. Then I pulled the leads under the boot carpet to rear of the car and into the Amp (power cable, Phono leads, Remote line).
If you remove the wall carpet trim near the rear lights you will find theres an earth there so you can just unscrew the bolt and attach your line to the existing one and into your Amp. Attached your speaker cable to your speaker and then into the Amp and your done!
My amp also came with this little Bass booster thing so I attached it on the dash. Looks rubbish but you get the idea of what you can do if you experiment.
