powered sub
I read the advice that several members gave LOUSVETTE on 10-19-09 and it started me thinking.
I also plan to add a powered sub; I was planning to disconnect the center speaker and use this output for a powered sub-woofer.
I have the non-Bose system.
Think it will work?

It just isn't that bad to get to the back of the head unit folks. Bunches of you work REALLY hard to avoid doing that when overall it's easier than most of the things proposed.

I added a Infinity Basslink to my base C6 system using this: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/audi...r-harness.html
It worked great. I positioned the box behind the driver seat on the flat trunk area. The coupe top still fit back there. It made the factory system sound great. I could use less of the head units bass and not drive the door woofers so hard. The Basslink supplied all the lows. I have sence taken it out only because my buddy sold me a new JL Stealthbox with the JL sub, 10" driver for $200.00. Actually I think the Infinity Basslink sounded better and was more balanced than the JL box.

If you just must use a speaker level source for a new sub you can splice into the door subs, but it has to be done at the speaker in the door.

Thanks for your info and your 03-19-08 post on the RCA adapter harness great. I'm going to follow your advice and hook up the sub the correct way. By the way, what was the blue/white wire for? I assume you discarded it, correct?
