This is a do it yourself install. It's pretty easy and this was my first time doing my own install. I don't have a diagram or instructions but it's pretty simple. You have to get behind the main radio and make sure you have a line converter and 12 gauge wiring kit. I got all stinger wiring, but you can get all types out there and better quality. I have Focal component speakers + a farad cap + stock bose amp + Jl Audio 500/1 + JL 10w7 all controlled by the stock radio, minus the base ****. Make sure you have a drill because the hardest part is drillina a hole from the cabin through the firewall to the engine bay for the wiring. After that, read instructions and everything should be fine. Get a friend and a six or 12 pack of whatever, that should be fun. Plan on losing about 3-5 hours of your time if you are not experienced like myself.

it depends on what inputs u have, high level or RCA. either way if you tap off of ur rear speakers u need a line in converter. converts the conector to rca and cleans up the signal big time.


what system u gonna be running

your ground wire should be larger than your power wire

I installed a 12'' MTX with amp to my stock Bose system. It was years ago so I don't remember the exact procedure, but it can be done. The main thing is to tap the right wires and get the adapter. I would not recommend it though as I could never the full quality sound out of the woofer.... it seemed distant.

i dunno about you but i have crystal clear sound from my subs, your enclosure has to be sealed and tuned right to the sub or it ewont be clear, also depends ont he settings of your amp, and well mtx good, so i dunno, but you def need that converter, it makes the world of difference, i mean a hell of alot.
