Wiring sub to aftermarket Mp3 headunit

[pinksunsparklez]

Okay, so the person who had my car before me took the original mp3 head unit. So i put a jvc in and my question is.... is there anyway to hook the sub unit that came stock up to the aftermarket jvc??? any help or input is greatly appreciated.

Factory one used RCAs, your JVC should have the same thing. So everything you need should still be in the dash. Thats unless you bought an uber POS JVC deck.

I second that. The stock setup was using rca's, the tube also has an option for high lvl input (hooking up direct speaker lines) but running a Rca cable is your best bet. if your head doesnt have sub out then use the high lvl in or buy a better head

But how do you POWER the unit because the stock harness has a plug and play

Come on now, either go buy a wiring harness, cut splice and or solder the wires together, or get it profesionally installed for like 20 bucks. It's not hard at all.

IM talking about the connector from the SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE how is that powerable through an aftermarket head unit if it was plug and play? HOW do i power the subwoofer????

Do you mean the 12v+ and ground? Or are you asking how to turn on/control the subwoofer? To turn it on and off you need to connect the REM wire to the REM on the headunit.

I'm not really sure about the stock harness wire colors but usually the black wire is ground. 1 of those blue wires is 12 volt constant power that goes to the battery with a fuse, the other one is the turn-on lead that connects to your headunit. Though don't take my word for it. These wires are coming out of the subwoofer/amp right? Also how thick is each wire?
