I''m gonna go out on a limb and be the first person to say this- I highly doubt that this will be possible. I''m speaking just out of the experiences I went through trying to do something similar to my Lexus SC400. In order for you to look into putting an aftermarket subwoofer with a stock headunit- it''s easier if your car came factory amplified (depending on what brand). In the case of when I did it with the SC, it was simply a matter of disconnecting the factory sub and amp, and replacing it with aftermarket parts. Since the stock system (to my knowledge), isn''t amplified I doubt that your idea is a feasible one without changing the headunit.

I have connectors for factory amplifier in boot! For stock amp.!. But I don''t have XP in mounting aftermarket AMP on STOCK connectors! As for SUB I would just plug in to AMP!What do you think?

You can shoot me a photo of them and I can give you my best shot at it. I''m not a BIG stereo guru, but for the most part an amp and sub setup isn''t too complex. You MAY be able to get away with using aftermarket amp on stock connectors, but that''s ONLY if they match up. I can''t guarantee it since I''m not physically looking at the car. But as long as your amp can power both, I''m assuming if you can get the wiring done- then theoretically it can be done.

What I would adivise looking into however, is a free air subwoofer. I''m not sure how true it is to the S Type since it doesn''t have a stock deck mounted sub, but in most cases, deck mounted subs are either free air subwoofers, or smaller powered subwoofers. Basically what I mean by that is- I wouldn''t expect to hook up an Alpine Type R or a giant Eclipse titanium sub into the upper deck (much less 2!) and expect to get the best sound quality.

Does your jag got a stock nav? if it does you can do it I got 2 12" alpine type R sub and a 1500 alpine amp is hook up to my stock deck "s-type R Nav" I cant remember whats the part is called but it got 2 wire on 1 side and 2 rca on the other side, you hook up the 2 wire to the stock sub amp were is going to your stock sub speaker when you do that you got to unhook the stock sub speaker and for the after market amp hook up the power wire from your battery and the ground wire find it somewhere in the trunk, the remote wire for the amp find it from the stock amp you''ll need a light tester to find which one turn off and on when you turn the key over and that''s it now you got some slap in the trunk

Yes,yes I have all those cables but I think that I cannot find a Aftermarket AMP that has those kind of connectors! Do you know someone that is selling full stock NAVI and PHONE for Jaguar S-type 2001? I wanna buy stock NAVI and PHONE in dash,also?

Thank you very much for PICS!!!

Best Regards
