Hi guys - I've searched around for a while but it seemed like people were going other directions or just grabbing speaker-level signals from various speakers instead.

Basically, I bought two 10" powered cheapo subs (the only things that will fit between the jump seats, but hopefully they sound decent together..) and need to figure out how to wire them up. This isn't my primary car so I'm trying to keep myself under control with the aftermarket stuff.. after coupon codes, free shipping, etc.. I've got like $250 shipped into both, with 4ga amp wiring kit. They each have a 10" active and 10" passive, 800w peak.

In any event, in an effort to recover some quality out of their design, I'd like to avoid simply running speaker-level inputs from the factory 6"s in the back.

I'm pretty sure that the HK amp has built-in crossovers for the subs as well, and since they are only 6" speakers and 30 watts, I'm GUESSING the frequency cutoff would be rather harsh (probably ~50-60hz) and I'm trying to allow these 10s to hit down to 20hz. I know people have used speaker-level inputs in the past, but I think they've mostly forgotten about the processing that has already occurred (plus higher noise with multiple amps).

Since I have the HK amp under the driver seat, can I just grab some line-level inputs from the HK head unit and run those to the back? - if I can, does anyone have the wiring schematic for this amp?

I'm also curious if anyone else has developed an "easy" way to run wires from the front of the car to the back/tailgate area. I need to run both subwoofer remote gain control wires, backup camera wire, some GPS stuff, CB antenna wire, and the 4ga amp power wire (I should be able to figure out the ground wire location ).

Thanks!

 

Ugh epic fail!

I just spent hours running wires and hooking things up in there.. with less than exciting resu
