Default Just want to add a sub

I just want to add an inexpensive sub to my otherwise stock Bose stereo with the 12 disk changer in the rear.
Whet should I get, and how (where) do you get to the wiring?

You will need this:



This hooks to the speaker leads of your stereo and provides RCA preamp-level outputs for your amp.

You can pick one up here:

Just add an RCA line to it. You should use the rear well area for your sub and move the cd changer to one of the side compartments.

As far as a sub goes, you can go with a JL AUDIO Stealth box or "MEATHOUSE" is offering to make a nice box at a great price. Check out this thread:

It works perfectly to just buy rca cables and snip off the male ends on one side and attach it to a self slpicer on the pre amp wires. You will need about 20' (about 17 exact) rca cables. You crimp on a female end to it and that slips right over the self splicer which is a little clip on thing on the wire (pep boys or home depot 99cents). Attach that to the preamp wires which you can find on 99HT's post which is a MUST for all installs using factory head unit.
If ya have any more questions, feel free to drop me a line. TTYL and good luck.
