Hi chaps just a quickly just found this is this all I need to wire a sub and amp together, also will I just need to get the blue cable with th connectors on back to the head unit itself I'm just running the wires befor the headliner goes in that's all.
Cheers guys appreciate it
Also just want to check is it right that the amp live is strait from the battery with an inline fuse, will this not kill the battery ?

Live straight to battery with inline fuse ( the amp will not be live until head unit is turned on been as you have a thin blue wire that is remote turn on ) black wire is earth straight from battery or earth to a good body ground . Thin blue is remote to head unit and the RCA' s from head unit to the amp . If you get confused ask me anything .

Brilliant thank you mate so I basically need to get all the blue wires back to the head unit the rest can be done from the back is that correct
Thanks again most appreciated.

Yes that's all you do . Subs will be ace on parcel shelf but you will need powerful amp/s but would rock !!!

Cool! Will I need to enclose these or will the boot be a good enough box for them.
Thanks for all you're help buddy.

im thinking the small boot of a mini will act as a box. try it and i think it will be ace

i have 6x9.s mounted on the rear shelf down ito the boot and they sound good without a sub.

Sounds good I'm putting 2 6x9 under the rear seat and 2 more at the front but really would like a coup,e of subs just for pure bass I'm not that clued up on sound systems at all. If I went for these subs what amp would you recommend to run them

I would imagine so yes. The boot will prlly be too larger volume of air for those two subs, so they may not play to their full volume (db) because there not it right size enclosure (too big, yes, even a mini boot!).

 

If you did want to do what you where suggesting, which is running the subs infinite baffle on the parcel shelf, which means they don't need a box, then you need to find some different ones that can be run like that.

A set of free air subs would work better on the rear shelf if you intend on using the boot as an enclosure as it's not air tight.

[leepol83]

Ok so I need free air subs right only problem is can you get 6.5" free air subs

[leepol83]

Just found these on fle bay anyone had experience with these and will these need to be in a box or will they be ok under the rear seats.
Also don't suppose anyone can tell me which connections on the fuse box I need to connect the permanent live and the switched live to for my head unit can't for the life of me find my multimeter
