if you plug this in, will it still connect to the wire harness to all the speakers? I am looking to add an amp for subwoofer only

Yes, this goes between your existing radio and harness, the audio from the deck will still power the speakers. Use the line out to hook up to an external amp.
1416893
Yes, I have Bose system as well, have to pull out radio but this works perfectly with my car specific sub amp. No complaints
1416894
Yes. This is the best way to do what you want to do. I am using the same item for a signal to my amp for a sub using the Bose system in a 2010 Mazda speed3.

Basically what this is, is an in-line adapter that plugs into your speaker harness behind your stock radio. It is used to create rca signals...which are the red and white plugs on your amp. You need these in order for your amp to play sound. Basically you wire your amp like you would a car with an aftermarket cd player but aftermarket cd players have rca jacks built in on the back of them whereas stock radios don't have them and that's where this comes in. This is only for hooking an amp up to subwoofers. This has no effect on your factory speakers, they remain unchanged.

Yea...All the speakers will work normally. I use this just for the amp connected to the subs only.
1416897
Yes all of your speakers still work. The only thing your doing is putting the adapet in the middle of your factory harness and the radio. Also as far as I can tell no sound quality is lost.

Yes,if it is the wire is the right gauge and the end those wires have the connectors for the subwoofer which usually are purple.See if your receiver or amplifier has a dedicated subwoofer output.

Most Subwoofers only need a two wire input (built in clips). You only need these RCA connectors if the unit has a female RCA jack installed as an input (not common).

That never seem to present as a problem. The 4 wires represent 2 pair (+,-) for left and right channels, and I just wired it to the same external speakers in parallel I have with my sound system. I have found the same result if I had wired an amplified subwoofer to my outputs either through the dedicated subwoofer channels, or tap into the speakers themselves.

No, the instructions have you wire it up in parallel with your main speakers. One thing to consider is that it cuts the Ohm load in half and will present a 4 ohm load to your amp. This isn't a problem with most well-made equipment. In my opinion, wiring it in this way is not a true sub as it does not cut out higher frequency.. I would like to redo the configuration next summer and add its own sub amp with some sort of cross-over to make it a true sub. As-is, its a nice addition to my outdoor speaker setup but don't expect it to act like a typical sub that you might have in your home theater.

No, you connect the input from the stereo and the outlet to the various rooms, I used all 4 rooms. The device works to keep the extra room speakers from blowing the amp

John L. Moncrief says: "The receiver works and the subwoofer works with the speaker wire connections."So R u using speaker wire to power the sub, oR R u Using a subwoofer cable, Or are U using both? U need a Sub cable/spdif cable, 1 N the same in name. "So why doesn't the RCA connection work when plugged into the receiver??"If u have the RCA and Speaker wire plugged up 2gether then there will be a prob. U can only power a sub w/A cable. Hope it helps BTW what type of sub are u running?

Its hard to explain the wire hook up. Go on crutchfield sub wiring diagram and it will explain to you how to wire subs with certain loads with any amp. Just select your setup and it will show you exactly how its done

The sub has high level inputs and outputs. So you can connect your speaker wire to the sub and then come back out to the speakers.

It is a stereo amp with no additional output except for a headphone jack. You would need an additional way to power your subwoofer (I assume you are talking about having a 2.1 set up. This only is 2.0.)
447395
You would half to cut and wire into your speaker harness. The amp directions tell you how to wire without rca's. The only easy part is being able to power off same harness

Yes. This goes inline between the factory harness and the radio. I'm currency using it EXACTLY that way. Highly recommended if you are upgrading door speakers and don't want to run an additional amp aside from subs.

Thing is that the subwoofer needs to be active , most (or all for what I know) receivers dont send energy thru coax just the signal of sound , like in my case , and did nothing , so i had yo put an amp in between the speaker and receiver
467282
Yes. The wire that you would plug in to your device is at the other end permanently attached to the subwoofer.

That unit is not really designed with a subwoofer output however you could use the Pre out to send the signal to the sub but it will send all the frequencies to it along with sub frequencies. The other way is to use hi level in and out from the raw wire speaker outs. This acts as a pass through and carries the signal through the sub and out onto your speakers.

The speaker dictates the power your amp puts out not the other way around. The speaker draws the power. So just wire it normal and all will be fine.

oh god no. you would ruin your speakers by underpowering them. This amp is for your mid and high speakers. not subwoofers. 6.5"s amd 6x9s are what it is meant for. it does'nt come with a wiring kit, it does come with the line level input adapter. This is for a powered stereo, not a subwoofer setup
