So after an hour of fitting my amplified sub its now finished.

I have gone with this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_266555_langId_-1_categoryId_165748

I know people will probably slate etc etc and to be honest I expect it.

I wasnt after booming bass, just some bass that the standard system doesn't provide.

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by the results. Its sounds really really good, and at £40 a bargain!

 It looks like the sort of thing I am after (low-range filling rather than thumping your windows out), but I would prefer not to use up the rear bin space - Was it too big to go under the seat?

I'd not be putting anything which doesn't like water into the rear bins...

So i wen and bought the same sub and just wanted a bit of advice cos im a real noob when it comes to this stuff, I fitted my alpine head unit myself and it works fine and has the capability to work the sub from the head unit, what i want to know is is it ok if i just link all the wires into those coming from the head unit will thsat be ok?

Like the ground wire and battery wire into the corresponding wires coming out of the head unit?

Back on topic   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  can this sub be wired into the existing loom (I have a nice ISO adaptor to tap into without harming the car), or does it need wires through to the battery?
I was hoping to run it off one of the unused rear channels from my amp as it doesn't have phono outputs.

I was thinking more of the subtle underseat £40 bumwarmer which was posted, just to help fill in the hole in the sound through the standard speakers   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
