00 sentra stereo ?'s

i want to put some subs in a 00' sentra with out changeing the radio..its the 7 speakers system..7th is a sub.tiny it is.

There is a plug going into the sub..which wire is the left and right rca and turn on?

OR

is there a plug that has these wires figured out and ill i have to do is unplug,plug the new one in, and hook everything up?

thanks in advace.

All you need is one positive and one negative high-level speaker wire to tap in to, and you can always get the +12 volt connection from up at the head unit if necessary.  Best bet would be to grab a DMM and test speaker to determine the proper wires.

To answer your question though, I've never heard of any such plug that will let you do all the connections plug and play--at least not when you're talking about the sub amp's plug.

i dont have the car right now..but when i get it ill take apic of the plug that goes into the sub..

The sub must have an amp to power it...i want to know which of the many wires that are in the plug that goes into it, i can use to turn on and the rca-or line in.

you have a link that decodes the colors? or something.

about the plug, that was a hopeful question to make it easy on me.lol

yea I meant to ask you if the amp was mounted directly onto the sub itself, or if the amp was elsewhere in the vehicle.  Because if the amp is elsewhere in the car, you should be able to get to the positive and negative speaker terminals on the sub itself, and right there you got two of your 3 wires already figured out right away.

As for the amp plug, I'll wait and see what the pic looks like, but probably it will be quicker for you to just test for the 12 volt switched wire yourself.  I'll take a look though and see if I can help at all.

well i cant see to find an amp near it.....ya know what it would look like? 

i thought about that line off a speaker...get a line converter...cheap one.  if i cant find a decent way to do it.  since that stock sub is very low power..if i crank it with the other subs..i would be afriad of blowin it.  

now if it has an amp...there should be a turn on right..that when the radio goes on the sub is on...but this "plug" has like 8 or so wires-guessimate. so if ne knows where there is a nissan wiring code, that would rock.

i emailed nissan....but i dont think they'll help me ne at all.....heck MB quart still hasnt emailed me back about them subs...specs for volume and power...

ne one got a 00' sentra?

thats the best i can get....sry i have a pos digi cam...close ups arent really an option.

btw there are 6 wires goin into the plug..

ok i decided just to do the line out converter... my one last question is.. how do i do the turn on wire?

so when i turn the stereo on the amp turns on?  do i have to set up a switch?

please reply

Sorry I missed your earlier post with the pic of the harness, I've been working a lot the last couple days.  Anyways, that plug looks like a standard nissan stereo plug.  Was this up at the back of the head unit?  Or wast it that were you able to locate the factory amplifier and the plug in that picture is the one that was plugged into the amp?

For the turn-on, you can either test the wires of the amp's harness with a multimeter to find the proper switched wire, or you can get the turn-on from the same wire that turns on the factory head unit. 

Take a look at this diagram and your radio should have the same type of plugs on the back of it.  The one you need for the aftermarket sub amp's turn-on connection is pin D  ("Acc"), and it's in the "P501 connectors".  Left to right there are 4 total plugs with a pinout charge in that image, and the pin D that you want is on the 2nd plug if you start from the left.
