I found this site trying to obtain wiring schematics so I could install a sub woofer. Well, I found half of them thanks to Emass and some guy named J (thanks). I still took everything apart and followed my own lines for accuracy. I could not have done it w/o the head start provided by these guys.
Anyhoo, really quick, here is what I did:
I used a 150W amplified Bazooka tube. I cut into the wiring harness's wires for the factory sub and spliced them into a three way. There are two wires: a red and white, and a red and blue. One is + and one is -. Note Emass's schematic to know which one as I forgot due too my drunkiness. I used the passive line so it is important to CUT BEFORE IT ENTERS THE AMP! DO NOT RUN A POWERED LINE INTO THE RCA INLETS ON A BAZOOKA TUBE! You can only do this if you have a powered line entry(most do). I then butt connected everything and taped it. I ran my lines under the side interior panels and drilled a hole to place a permenant "out" for the RCA cable. Notice RCA cable is singular. I spliced an RCA cable onto the end of the speaker wire I had run to this area. I then connected the sub w/o the remote because I STILL DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE WHICH LINE IT WAS:confused: !! Seems to work fine on auto though. In fact, it may be a bit too much bass. I had to adjust the tube down. All of the rest can be found in other threads/postings Then I ran a ground into the spare compartment and fed the power through here as well. **NOTE** there is a removable plug on the drivers side fire wall. It is accessable behind the front tire. Remove this w/ a flat head. Then poke a hole in the middle and reinstall after you have run your power line through it. Add some silly cone caulk and rock and roll. :grin:
