Hi and welcome.
I moved this post to your car technical section where you'll get the best help.

 

Hi Jaguar 03 Welcome to the forum.

As far as the sound goes, do you have the premium sound system? If so what I did to add a little extra bass was cut the input wire going to the 1.5 subs(Second sub is a passive driver) in the rear deck and added a low line converter. There's about 10 long screws to remove the cover under the rear deck to get to the inclosed stock subs.

I wired the remote line from the front astray.
Also ran a power wire from the battery.

I went with a low line converter because I have the navigation system and didn't want to install an aftermarket head unit. The only thing I will mention on this is you need a good amp with adjustments to get the volume level right. If not you can get a sound processor.

Colin, wiring up the sub may be easy, it may not be. The question comes down to whether you have the standard radio or if you have the premium (ie, SAT/NAV) radio. The standard radio does not have any sort of "sub wires" in the car. The premium does and as I recall, the plug is normally tucked to the left side of the trunk/boot (as you are looking into the trunk). So, if you don't have a plug there, then you may be out of luck.

Just for reference, the plug for the factory sub is an 14 pin plug with 10 wires in it. Probably not what you are looking for without knowing what you should be expecting.

If you need more help, let me know. We will help you out and get you the info you need.

 

hi thanks for the reply,i have the sat nav/touch screen stereo version,i looked in the boot had the rear shelf out but have no plug anywhere so i must not have the premium wireing.
cheers.colin
