Default Recommended Audio Shops in New York?

The thread in the audio section hasn't been touched in ages, as the poster doesn't post on the forum anymore. I'm looking for a place that can install a small 6-inch subwoofer into the back of the car. I have the base audio, and the highs sound so crisp, the mids sound good...but there is quite a bit of bass missing.

Would a small sub require its own dedicated amp? I'd imagine not, personally. But I'm not good with audio.

Check your trunk next to your battery, there should be a plug for the subwoofer already. All you have to do is purchase one of this 2009 Jaguar XF Subwoofer Speaker | eBay

I have been planing on doing the same, but haven't gotten the chance to. No guarantee, it will work (don't see a reason why not) might have to ask the dealer to flash the system to recognize the sub.

Good info. What kind of flash would be required. What specific directions should I instruct the tech to perform? In NY, a lot of them are idiots.

I got an OEM sub. Has anyone performed this install yet? Is it really that straightforward?

No one that i know of. I am planning on doing it, just haven't gotten to it. Probably going to wait till my service date to speak to the dealer regarding the reflash of the software.
