## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would I be able to install this into my 2014 Subaru Impreza? And if so would I need to buy anything else, or would this have everything that I need?**
A: None whatsoever. To keep your wire runs to a minimum remove your driver or passenger seat. It fits under either. They always harp about using heavy gauge wire, yet the supplied 12v wire is two 14ga wires that terminate @ a tiny fuse??? The biggest Hassel is pulling out your seat. Try it first and see if you like the sound. I've installed 3 of these exact units and audio quality has diminished.

**Q: Is it better to tap into the front left/right speaker wires or use a rca on the subout of a head unit? is one better than the other or is it the same?**
A: The RCA output from the head unit for the sub would be the best connection. It will allow controlling sub frequencies and volume levels with the controls built in to the deck. The signal quality is also better with the RCA connection.

**Q: Did i read correctly: this does not have to connect to the battery?**
A: Yes,you don't need to connect it direct to the battery, you can connect it directly from any constance(Yellow) 12Volt power. I tap mine together with my radio head unit and it's running fine. But you can definitely connect directly to the battery if you wanted to. The power it consume is not much for it to connect directly to the battery. But please do not cut away the 10amp fuse if you decide to tap it with your head unit or some other fuses, it's for the safety of your car. The only wire that you don't need to connect directly is the ACC 12Volt(Red) supply for the power control that comes in Blue/White(P.Control).

**Q: I have a factory deck and a 4 channel amp powering my four car speakers.  Would I need anything extra to install this sub?  RCA cable, fuse, etc?**
A: If you want to run RCA cables from the back of your radio to the amp without chopping up wires you need to buy a RCA cable with male ends on both sides.

So I'm an MECP Certified Technician Professional Installer. I bought my truck a little over a year ago (2000 Chevy 2500) So please pay attention to what I'm going to tell you about this subwoofer. The installation is much easier than installing a Kicker Hideaway system. The sound is close to it (The Kicker has a little bit better lower sound). Now I had plenty of options to put in my truck I could have went with a custom built box however I have tools under the seats that I keep away from the elements and tend to use my back seat for storage (It's rained for the past 53 weeks in my area). So keeping in mind that I Needed something that was going to deliver enough bass that I enjoy without breaking the bank or getting my pulled over for a noise violation (3 communities in my area have Noise Ordinances that are STRICTLY Enforced with $400 fines). So when I bought the truck the previous owner blew the speakers, the AC Delco Radio was trashed, so I decided to install a high end pioneer touchscreen single-dinn radio with back up camera. Fronts I went with the new Kenwood 6 1/2's and swapped out the suicide door speakers with Rockford Fosgate 5 1/4's since I was going to have a hide away subwoofer. The Installation can be done a few ways if you have a good understanding of your vehicles electrical system. Running aftermarket I decided to go with the RCA's instead of military tapping into the speakers rear wires or using a Line out Converter to give it a better sound. You can run the power wire to the battery if you'd like to or if you want to you can also run it to the accessory wire of the Radio or another accessory wire in the vehicle. I ran mine to the accessory wire to the radio which pulls more than enough current for this subwoofer after testing it with a Digital Multi-Meter. The ground wire is slightly shorter so please find a VERY good place to ground it on the chasis (I ran mine under the carpet stripping the paint and tapping in with a self tapping screw & Star washer sealing the bottom with Silicone as to prevent any water leaks). The sound pressure level in the cab is amazing. It's not too loud and believe me you're not going to win any sound competitions with this subwoofer however for as small as it is, fit firmly and neatly underneath of the drivers seat. I used some 3M Velco Strips to ensure that it didn't slide around underneath in case I hit a bump or went up on an incline. Impressive Yes. Easy to Install Yes. Great Sound Yes. Competition NO. But those who get in your vehicle will know that you have a subwoofer. The controller is wired and will need to be mounted somewhere (I ran mine to the 3rd Seat and left it there in case I have to turn the sub off when I go through these Ordinance enforced communities nearby) and my only complaint IS the remote. It takes about a half second to react, but that's not a big minus to me for me to mark it down any. Now with all speakers, your initial sound on installation isn't going to be the best. The speakers have to flex for a while in order for them to mature but after 2 weeks the sound was just amazing. Parked and watching movies on break makes me feel like I'm in a theater setting. Listening to Rock, Metal, Rap, Hip Hop and other various genre's will need some tweaking within your head unit but the subwoofer itself is very reactive and doesn't phase out the other high end woofers I added to the doors. In fact it enhances the over all performance (The Rockford Fosgate 5 1/4's have bass blockers built in so there's no bass overpowering coming in from the back other THAN the subwoofer) Overall a great performing subwoofer, with easy installation and for the price WAY worth the recommendation. I still give it 5 stars because of the fact even though I'm not very pleased with the remote control it's NOT the selling point for me on an inexpensive self contained AMP/Sub. Great Job Kenwood!
