Hello, going to install an amplifier for the subwoofer. What is the best recommended way to power it up?
The quick turn for me not being a car electrician or knowing much in that area is just the cigarette plug but I have already the dashcam and a dual usb there, not sure if I can put an amplifier as well.
I guess I can also piggy back some fuse but which one?
Thanks,
Paul

Live should be taken straight from the battery with an inline fuse.
 
Ideally the amplifier should have it's main live connection to the battery + terminal, via a suitable fuse.

If the amplifier is of modest output, then you could connect it to the rear accessory socket feed, which is rated for 20 Amps. That's where I connected my sub amplifier, and it was fine.
 
Further to this, other than getting a new head unit, what else can you do to improve the sound? I have a FL2 TD4.
 
Can I ask if this is an amp to the factory fitted sub?
Pro has a FL1, so won't be relevant for an FL2.

It depends on your current vehicle specification.

My FL2 has the 9 speaker Alpine HU, so really doesn't need any improvement.
