Non JBL sub wires

after removing the factory sub, can the existing wiring be used for a powered sub? like plug and play type thing or if connection needed to be made anyone know what the wires are on the factory connection
thank you

 

anyone?

 

I would think not. I would thiink the power wire would be too small of a gauge to power anything with some guts to it.

 

i was thinking about one of these

only looking for low fill, no bumping thumping atm

upon a quick look at the wiring left from the stock sub removal, looks like that plug has 7 wires going to it, 1 brown, 1 red, 1 black, 2 whites, and 2 blue or green (can't remember the coloring on the last 2 ;p) but if the power is the red one, it looks same diameter as other wires...)
i might just get the kenwood and give it a shot with the factory wiring, it would be simplest install IF that power wire is capable of handling it...

 

I had that sub in my 09 (still have it have not put it up for sale yet) you would have to run a new wire. Thinking it was about a 8 gauge wire for power.

 

yes i was thinking for just using the speaker wires for adding an amp/sub...the power looks like it's way too small

i think i figured it out i hope lol (have not purchased my amp/sub yet)
for anyone down the road that might be asking the same question here's some info on this
the factory sub plug that's left over has 7 wires to it.
looks like black/yellow for left (rear speaker wires), red/white for right (rear speaker wires), brown for ground wire, white with blue line looks like power.
all that's left over is a thinner gray wire, my guess is remote on wire, which would be perfect to use when adding an amp back there, w/out having to route wires to headunit.

basicly what i'm trying to do is use the least amount of wire routing, don't even have to pull out the hu again for the remote on wire.
all one would need with this method is an amp kit power wire from battery through door steps to the back for power. and of course bigger ground.
then use speaker level inputs on the amp using the factory wiring (from removed factory sub plug), as well as the factory remote turn on wire.
am i missing anything? i'm so rusty it's not even funny lol

 

You will have to run rca plug's. I used a line converter for rca jacks.
