Adding powered sub woofer

Anyone added a powered underseat sub? Wondering where the best place to pull power from?
Sorry wrong forum, it won't let me delete.

 

Best option is a subwoofer box/amplifier BEHIND the back seat (DCSB). JBL Audio makes a nice subwoofer box that fits without modifications. I ended up making a custom box with 2x 12" subwoofers and fixing the amp UNDER the back seat in the cubby space. I have 1000 W amp powering upgraded speakers and subs but this is overkill & unnecessary.

The best (and only) place to pull power from is directly off the battery (since most subwoofers are powered by an amp). Typically it has to be large gauge wire (4G for high powered amps/sub (750-1000 watts RMS), 8-10G for less powered amps/subs (250-500 watts RMS). You also should have a fuse tied in to the hot wire.

I recommend professional installation if you are not experienced with stereo/wiring as it takes one bad short to mess up your electronics in your truck. Not to mention troubleshooting is a PITA if things don't work. Good luck.
