(1/3) > >>

Reggieroo:
Doe's anyone no how to connect the standard Sub & Amp to an aftermarket stereo?

I bought mine with a new head unit fitted but the Sub don't work, I've found the wire to power it but the Sub doesn't sound right as I'm not sure were to connect the other wires.

Its looks to me that there are three wires to connect.

The standard sub is pretty poor and the amp not very powerful.

Edit: Incorrect information, see below.
The three wires are power, ground and remote (ignition).

Thanks,

I've had another look & connected the remote wire to the head unit but to get the sub to fire up I have to touch the other two wires to the speaker wires which doesn't seem right.

Sorry,  I should have said, The sub needs to be connected to an amp.  The factory one is sited on the top.

The black connector (3 wires) is the connection to the sub.  There is:
Remote (purple/ yellow)
Speaker
Speaker

The white connector has 5 wires.  I forget the colour codes, but there is
speaker
speaker
power
ground
ignition.

The amp looks like this:


Excuse the bare wires I was in the process of fixing the wiring "done" by a previous owner.

Hi ,

I already have that amp on top of the sub & the black connector & white connector are plugged in as from the factory.

What I don't know is how to connect them up at the head unit end in the dash, I have the purple/yellow wire, red/yellow & a black wire coming out of the dash. I think these three wires are from the black plug.

If I connect the purple/yellow wire to the blue remote wire coming off the head unit it turns on the amp, I just don't know where to connect the other two.



I touched them onto the speaker wires & it seemed to power up the sub but it sounded wrong.

I'm just wondering have I got it all completely wrong?
