Anyone???

 

Honestly it's cheaper for you to add an aftermarket navi unit into your car no matter which brand you go with. I prefer pioneer but to each his own. I'm not familiar with what happens when your in a different country though, as far as the navigation works. I'm not sure if you can just buy one on ebay and it has the correct maps or what.

Once you add that new navigation unit you won't have to worry about connections for the sub amp. The new aftermarket head unit will have rca's for connecting to the amp and the remote wire to turn the amp on. The only thing you'll need to do is run power from the battery (isn't it in the trunk/boot?) You'll also get better sound from an aftermarket head unit when it comes to rca's as well as control over the sub amp.

I think I read that you had the older s-type which uses a ford wiring harness. These are very inexpensive and can be purchased pretty much anywhere here in the states but I'm not too sure about your area. The install would be much easier compared to say a 2003 or newer s-type. If you need any other help let me know and I'll help, if I don't post on here PM me if you have questions.

As far as mounting the subs and amp to the deck lid it is possible but you will want to keep it light in weight. Personally I'd probably only put up to 10" subs on the deck lid. Get 2 boxes built into the 2 corners that are at the most rear part of the trunk/boot. Do you already have the pioneer amp and subs? If so which subs are they?

 

Did this ever end up getting done? I think the person who started the the thread was looking at putting the subs in the top deck.

 

LOlz...any chance you still have those pics lying around of your setup considering how old this thread is?

 

Stefan I am in the process of changing my factory speakers out and introducing 4 new speakers with amp and separate self amped sub. The thing that makes it all work is this little bad boy here:

Audiocontrol LC2i 2-channel line output converter for adding amps to your factory system at Crutchfield.com

This will eliminate your problems and allow you to use line level inputs and add the subs. Make sure you buy a sub with a built-in low pass filter and you should be set. You are better off amping all the speakers and subs i.e 4 channel amp for the door speakers and 2 channel amp for two subs. Plus check out the accubass capability because Jaguar head units do in fact reduce bass at higher volumes to protect the crappy stock speakers (in my case not alpine).

Good luck! Contact me if I can be of anymore service
