Not enough power out of standard head unit I would have thought. I have a tube in the boot but running off an amp.

i am looking at a amplified bass cannon that doesnt need a seperate amp but what i what to know is how to connect it to the standard unit.

Big I.C.E install to follow in a couple of years. I need to pay o f the car before i fill it with ice.

Right Just got my 400w sub + 350 watt amp. Next question Does the Standard stereo have Pre outs or do i need an invertor.

neither,



you need an aftermarket h/u, this will have the required RCA pre-outs to send the signal to the amp



an invertor is only required to jump up power - ie. using a PS2 in your car, the PS2 runs on 240v (i think), the car produces 12v (spot the difference??) the inverter takes in 12v and sends out a higher voltage to power the console

nah you can get an rca adaptor mate

Now i am confussed.

The bloke in the shop said i can get a Invertor which will conect to any speaker and convert the Hi Freq signal to a low Freq signal. Alpine do one for 30 sheets.

Whats this RCA adaptor do and where do i fit it?

Cant afford another head unit at this moment.
