GIXXERUK 0 Posted October 3, 2004 hi i've bought a vibe sub off dazzyvr6 but i need some confirmation on the wiring of it is this right ? red cable goes directly to the battery +12v black wire to ground/earth phono rca leads to the h/u do i then take a remote wire from the h/u to the sub so it only powers when the h/u is on ? TIA paul oh yeah i read earth first 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GIXXERUK 0 Posted October 10, 2004 the h/u i have has 2 pre outs (front and rear) which does the sub plug into , the rear ?? thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted October 10, 2004 It'll work in either, but I guess the rear is the more logical choice. Ideally you'd have a head unit with three pre-outs including one for the subwoofer exclusively, and likely giving you some kind of subwoofer level control.

GIXXERUK 0 Posted October 10, 2004 bcstudent, cheers mate , i just thought they would deliver different signals (front/rear) so i opted for the rear the h/u is a kenwood with a multi changer which is fairly decent but doesnt play mp3's so it'll be going soon as i have 1000's of mp3's the speakers are wired via the standard connections so both pre outs are spare, i have kinetic components up front and alpine tweeters on the dash and an active vibe and its finally starting to sound ok sound wise as standard this is the worst car i've ever had the standard set up has no mid range ,no bass and very little volume in a nutshell all the speakers are way to small :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablo_vr6 0 Posted October 11, 2004 F&R are the same but by using the rear you can use the fader to adjust the bass level from the front :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
