'08 tC sub/aftermarket HU
Ok, Ive been searching without luck to find how I might be able to connect the little sub speaker that comes in the RS2s and 08 tCs. I have a kenwood aftermarket HU, but after looking at the clip coming off the sub box...
Can anyone help me out with maybe tellin me which wires may be which comin out from the sub There is like 4 or so right? Im wondering if it is similar in the sense if the blue wire is the remote wire and such?
Ive searched but if this was answered somewhere....im blind then, lol

Would you happen to know the rest of them? I dont have the wires in front of me right now and I forget the rest of them...
Thanks for the input!
You lost me... so you put a 4ch amp in the car?
Depending on how you wired it the factory sub uses signal off of .. i think the front right speaker (someone feel free to correct me there) If you wired your amp to the wires behind the radio, it should work.. if you went directly to each speaker from the amp - your out of luck.
What you can do though is connect from the radio's power supply to the old speaker wires which went to the factory speakers, and in theory the sub should pick up the signal from there.
The sub should be powered and getting signal if you did the above
And the blue wire - power antennal - scratch that... its the "REMOTE" wire that you want. Remote is on when the radio is on, power antenna is only on when FM is on. So in your case you need to cut the power antenna wire and splice it in to the remote wire, so the "antenna" gets fed power from the remote wire.

Sorry, my fault...I meant that I understand that the blue wire is the remote wire since I have hooked up a 4ch.
So I have an '06 that did not come with any factory sub...now I have a kenwood aftermarket HU
Im am gettin one of these subs for free out of an '08 tC..
Im tryin to figure how to wire one of these subs to it since they come already wired and has the white harness clip on the end to clip into the stock harness that runs to the back...
correct me if im wrong....This is how I see it....I already have wires running to the trunk for my 4 ch...
The sub that goes next to the spare under the floor is a amp'd speaker already so basically can I cut off the clip that connects to a stock harness and splice them into the wires I have goin to the 4 ch?....
Is that lil more understandable?....i know Im bad at explaining things, lol
