Factory sub

Hi all

I've just fitted a far better head unit to the car to replace the mid-line Clarion radio cassette. I know there has been a bit of chatter around this topic before, but I just wanted some clarity.

How can I make the factory sub and little amp in the boot work with my head unit!! It's ample for my needs so I'm not keen on ripping out and fitting a new system, so trying this first.

The old loom has two ISO plugs, which are accommodated by the supplied adapter harness and then the dreaded third pink plug which does something to the sub.

It is a long thin plug, with two wires coming from it, and an earth. I'm guessing that this provides power to the sub amp. How do I, and onto what, do I need to splice these two wires wires to make the sub work again. With a bit of experimenting I thought I had it but instead all I got was the sub sounding like a helicopter - just going 'pop-pop-pop-pop' rapidly and with no volume control.

Any ideas?!

Thanks!

This is the answer!

Just pull out the existing factory unit and replace it with one of these! With an Alpine H/U and factor door/roof/window pillar speakers it sounds absolutely astonishing.

And you can install this behind the existing trim!

So for anyone who has a blown RRC Sub, I now have a perfectly functioning factory unit, complete and with amp.
