Subs with a standard head unit?

[Dm_26]

Is there any possible way that I could fit subs in the boot of my car with the Standard Tuner List cd player?

Yeh, but sound quality would be alot better with an aftermarket HU

+1 you'd be better off getting yourself a cheap Kenwood stereo or something with better control settings.

Sub to standard hu easy, just get an autoleads Speaker to RCA High to Low Level Convertor Lead PC1-601 and wire to the rear speakers, sorted. Sound pretty good too

i personally would not recommend it, it will sound terrible, you can get decent head units for around £100 now that will do a good job

have to disagree mate, i have this set up and it sound perfectly fine, not SPL quality at all but if your just looking to fill the bass void its more than suitable imo

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

so i have bought a HU for no reason... how do you attach the phono leads?

Wire to the rear speakers yeh?

So you don't need to mess about with the back of the headunit?

Not really looking for the sound quality. Like to keep my car looking as standard as possible, and tbh I wouldn't like having a decent headunit in my car, particularly with the areas I need to park in. Even a face off one. I also like using the steering wheel controls and can't be bothered messing about with adaptors to make it work with a new headunit

Yep, simple as really, just wired in via bullet connectors into the rear speaker cable (cut and attached bullets, dont use scotch locks there sh1t)... here's a simple yet crude diagram pal:

Excellent mate

Thanks for that.

Luckily already got two of they PC1-601 adapters so just need to tap into the speaker wires and I should be ready to go.
