I've been searching the forums all night but i can't find answers to this.

I need two things: more bass, and every inch of loading capacity i can get.
I have two things: a Kenwood active 10" bazooka laying around in the garage and the 10 speaker non-bose system (upgraded with a new 2 channel speaker system in the front doors).

So i was thinking maybe i could tap the Ken sub into the original wiring behind the panel in the trunk? This way it would be easy to remove the sub when i need the space, keep the stock look, and hopefully i would not have to tear the interior down and rewire the whole car?
I mean all the cables are there - power supply, ground, remote...

Can it be done? How?

You can't use the stock power supply to run anything other than the feeble stock sub, it's about a 5amp cable. You need to run a new power cable, but everything else is there (remote on, left & right pre-outs)

So i'll run a new power cable. Besides that, any idea which cable is which in the trunk?

MacSub

It should be relatively easy to figure out by a process of elimination. The remote on & perm live are easily found with a 12v testing screwdriver. The speaker outputs or sub output should be pretty obvious, ground likewise, so then you should have 3 or 4 wires for rear pre-outs (left, right & 1 or 2 screens).

If you add a 1 farad Capacitor - will it help to power it ?

MacSub

You must be joking!

Kirill

And for spikes cap will provide extra ?

MacSub

Audi wiring would be fried as soon as you attached the Cap which will pull as much as it can to charge itself up. Power Caps are really a band aid (or a gimmick) and should only ever be connected directly over the battery, if ever connected at all.

It solved the light dimming problem and thats what I needed without having to gut my alternator and transplant another one, etc.

where did you put your cap ?
