Tips to Install Car Subwoofer


If you are planning on installing a sub woofer and an amp into your car there are a few important things to remember.  First, depending on what kind of head unit you have, you may need to get a converter box that will allow you to splice into your speaker wires and plug in RCA cables.  As a general rule, if you have a stock head unit, you will probably need to buy a converter.  Second, make sure that you splice your remote wire into the power line for your head unit.  If you fail to get a good connection for your remote wire, the amp and sub woofers will never turn off, essentially killing your car battery over and over again.  Next, run your power wire and your RCA cables down opposite sides of the car.  If they are too close you can get a lot of interference which results in poor sound quality.  Lastly, don’t forget to install your ground wire before your power wire.  Pay close attention and make sure there is a good ground for your amp before you insert the power wire.  This will hopefully minimize damage to your equipment and reduce the risk of personal injury.
