Tapping off rear speakers in an 09' for sub. Install help
Hey all,
I am an avid audio enthusiust and have done a great deal of work on different cars. However never my mini! I want to add a small sub to the factory, standard system (no nav, just the entry level). I was hoping to tap off the rear speakers for signal to a small sub just to add some extra kick. Nothing too fancy.
1. How the heck do you get at the rear speakers in an 09'?
2. Is there a remote power wire I can tap off of (I noticed the rear 12V adaptor turns on/off w/ the ignion) has anyone tapped off of that?
3. Any easy way of getting a power line to the batt w/o drilling through? I found a couple of places to hide an amp. The sub needs to be 100% removeable so when I have the fam with me, I have a full boot.
I will be designing/building the sub myself. I have been doing pro/home/car audio system design for about 15 years. IT will not be an "off the shelf" like a JL or a Boston, rather a sub built and tuned for the mini specifically.
I will document the build. Likely 2x 6.5" subs in a tiny cube with a handel. More looking to round out the bottom octave vs. hear me coming from 6 miles away.
Thanks in advance!!!
