My Subs are here...UPDATE: Shipping Error
My brother ended up buying 8 of these Bostwick HD 350w subs for his car. Only 6 fit, so I kept the other two free of charge . He bought them for $20 each. Pioneer TS-A1672R in the doors. I'm getting these at cost + 5%. I've decided to keep the factory deck, so I need some info on how to tap into the rear amplifier in the trunk.
As for the amp, I'm buying a Swiss Audio SMR6002. It's 600x1 @ 4 ohms, which is perfect because the subs are SVC 8 ohm.
Alrighty, now who's coming down to help me install this stuff next weekend?

Hey sparty did you buy that amp yet? Let me know if you did or not...BTW I couldn't find the info. on the speaker wire colors...hold on for a few days dennis or someone will respond to this...I don't know for fact which colors to tap into. You should be able to tap into the sub can't you?

RE: My Subs are here...
I've read it somewhere before about tapping into the premium unit in the trunk in order to set up a line out converter for RCA's. It was either here or the UK forum...
I'm sure I can find it before I leave to install the stuff, but I'm trying to get everything together as soon as possible so it'll be a smooth install without any issues.
I already have to find a hole in the firewall to run power wire, and I need to find a good ground in the trunk.

RE: My Subs are here...
Before i got my custom deck i had the rca converter conected right behind the stereo. I had it conected to the rear left speaker so i could still control the bass level. I dont remember what wires i connected at the time as it was a while ago, but i recall the converter comes with instructions for the wire matching. You dont even have to pull the whole stereo out, just take out the astray/12v and pull the harness out and connect the wires.
hope this helps.

What a waste of money installing speakers and amps.

Anyway, I'm going to install the converter from the sub in the trunk. I'll be disconnecting it anyway, so all the more reason to use the wiring there.

Yeah lol I don't know why he has such a hate for car audio??? I tried to get him to listen to home theater w/out a sub but I don't know if he did or not...Hey 04x what harness did you use for your system? There is another guy in the s-type arena that needed to know what wiring harness he used but I don't honestly know???

RE: My Subs are here...
I have an 02 and the premium sound sub sucked ***.... I think the newer cars have a better premium sound system.
I ended up just upgrading the sub amp, and now the system is on par with an average premium sound system. It is by no means great, but for sure acceptable compared to before.
what year is your car spartan? i forget.
For the 02s all 4 speaker channels are run to the little amp in the sub box. This is so that the amp can always produce base no matter where the fader/balance is.
then the amp has a cross over and a single output to the 6 inch woofer. I just cut the wires to the woofer and extended them out through a hole in the sub box. I screwed the amp into the bottom of the sub box, and hooked it up "booster style" For power and amp turn on, I used the auxillary power plug behind the trunk liner next to the left tail light. (need a relay up in the front fuse box)
it was a very simple installation. I had a small glitch in that the factory amp did not like being hooked up to the high level inputs of my amp, and everytime I switched the radio off and on, the factory amp would shut down. I had to reset the new sub amp to makeit work.
Eventually I figured out a way to keep the amp working, I added a resistor across the speaker wires and also a cap from one of the leads to ground. been workign fine for months now.

RE: My Subs are here...
Well it looks like I didn't get an amp. The shipper sent me a Dual 2 Ohm Solo Baric L7 10" Sub. So, since this looks like the shipping error worked out in my favor, I need to figure out what I need to do.
I could build a box for the L7, and it'll probably be louder than both subs I currently have, and I need to buy an amp. What to do...what to do...
