WTH? ok- now i will try clear text?

i promise- both of the above looked fine under preveiw...

Hey all,

I am the lucky recipient of a used 10" bazooka sub. I would like to install this in the trunk of my 2003 Honda Accord, but I do not know a lot about the car’s wiring. I am assuming that I will need a small amp [this sub is an older un-powered version], but I need to know if other cables exist in the trunk area that I can use. I am not looking to rattle my license plate with the sub- I just want a little low fill on the songs that my 6x9s cannot produce.

I have the Honda standard in-dash 6 CD changer and no other accessories. There are the stock 6x9 speakers in the trunk, and the 2pc standard front speakers. I am planning on running a power from under the hood and getting a small amp with a built-in crossover that can power the sub and return the signal to the rear speakers. I am also considering a small mono amp and just using the signal from the right rear speaker.

I have a few questions that if someone has any answers could make this task a little easier:

1. Is there a subwoofer out on the Honda stock in-dash 6 CD changer?

2. If the above is true, is this output extended to the trunk?

3. Is there a remote signal from the head unit to the trunk to provide switching to an amplifier?

4. Is there also power already ran to the trunk for a subwoofer/amp application?

Any responses or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Bruce

The answer to the above is NO,NO,NO and NO.

That would be too easy. It would put a lot of installer out of work if they made it that easy for the DIY.

1. Get yourself an AMP KIT, you can very feed the power cable through the firewall on the driver side.

2. You will need a Line Level Converter which you said you can tap the signal from the speaker in the trunk.

3. Switch wire, you can easily tap on to the Accessory Wire in the main wiring harness. Used a fuse and a 3 amp fuse will do. You can used the (BLACK/ red or WHITE/ red wire at the ignition harness).

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Installing an Sub in a 2003 Honda Accord -- posted image.

I figured that it wouldn't be that easy, but I was trying to be optimistic... Installing an Sub in a 2003 Honda Accord -- posted image.
