I have a few plugs in my boot where the previous owner had an amp and subwoofer installed so was wondering if I'd be able to just pretty much plug and play now?
I'll have to get a photo of them but I'm really not sure yet. Whats the best way to pick a setup? Just bought a new headunit but have plans for a subwoofer and amp soon.
There's no 'best' way. Just come up with a budget and work from there. Speak to Marty at FHRX about a proposed system. Also, ask if the current wiring in your car will be compatible with it. Hopefully your new headunit will provide enough RCA outputs & competent processing without the need to get another...
Not sure what you mean by 'plugs' but don't worry about taking a picture, as Marty will know if they're necessary or not.
If you're lucky it will be plug and play. I always like to replace all my cables to new ones but to each their own. You should still do some tracing to make sure you know what you are connecting to what. Last car I bought the guy ran ground with red and black as positive..........................
Not sure when I'll be able to get out that far unfortunately, may need to find somewhere local. And yeah I see where your coming from, fresh new install may be the best idea.
Not reading between the lines or noticing little details again nightkids? he already has a head unit installed.
Btw, IDV8, by 'plugs' did you mean the RCA's? Did the previous owner leave behind any power wiring for you or only these 'plugs'?
Other subwoofer options may be an Alpine Type-S or JL W1.
Amps, with that budget you'd definitely have to stick to a 2 channel (that one in your link will be fine). Just make sure when you get a sub that it gives a final impedance of 4ohm (so svc 4ohm or dvc 2ohm) as that pioneer 2-channel isnt 2ohm stable.
