Audio Installation

[wadethomas87]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at getting a sub with a built in amp installed under the passenger seat.

I spoke with a few auto electricians and they've given me some pretty exy quotes. I know there's no RCA plugs in the back of the stock head unit (which I want to keep to have the controls on the steering wheel) but it shouldn't be $350-$400 just to install a sub with built in amp surely?

Does anyone know of anywhere in Sydney that is good, any CJ friendly places?

Cheers

Brendan is right; I had a Pioneer underseat sub in my blue Lancer - the installers took a bit over an hour, picked up a high-level input from the LHS front door and it worked really well - made a big different to the sound, I was very happy with it.

As it's a Platinum, I guess you've already got tweeters in yours - if not, put a pair in - makes a huge difference.

From memory, I got charged about $140(isn) for the installation.

Do it yourself. If you dont feel comfortable with doing it, Id be willing to help you out, as would many others Im sure. Depending on which sub youre looking at, some of them have high-level inputs which you just need to tap from a door speaker. If you were going to put it under the passenger seat, youd tap the rear left speaker from the harness in the B-pillar. Youd then need to get power to it, through the grommet in the firewall. Shouldnt take more than 30 mins all up.

This - it is easy once you start and there are plenty of how-to's. $300-400 is way way too much
