Wireing Subs

Postby ~ John Reid ~ on Wed Jun 28, 2006 9:34 am

At the weekend, im going to get a sun and amp for my car.... but as i didnt get the headunit removal tools i cant get the headunit out ( i can with i knofe or something but i dont want to until i get the sub), do i have to have a sub output in the back of sterio, or can i wire it up to one of the speakers. the spec for my sterio sais it has got a sub output, but i wanna double check, anybody know if the pioneer dehp3500mp has got sub output in the back,

cheers, john

It Should have 2 pre-outs on it you wire your amp from one of these and then wire your sub from your amp.

ok cheers mate, im a tiny bit unsure on how to wire it all up, is this correct.

* Battery positive to amp ( with in-line fuse),
* then the earth on the amp to wherever in the boot ( thats metal),
* then from back of sterio ( pre outputs) to the amp,
* then the amp to the sub.

but ive heart about a 'remote' wire that gives a little bit more power to the amp, is this correct,

Cheers , John

remote is usualy blue wire on the back of your stereo, take that to the amp aswell. It switch's the amp on when you turn on the stereo
