Need Bass

Ok, just bought my 13 clubman S this week and somebody must be putting subs in these ? Is there any sub output on head unit ? Where are you putting subs ? I just miss my bass , my silverado had 2 10" subs and probably don't need much in a mini . Just point me in the right direction please.

Oh, so you're trying to put together a setup that will allow you to pull up beside me at the light and rattle my teeth with your bass?

Nope, can't be done. Guess you'll have to get headphones.

It's called being able to defend myself against the other guys music

I could just tap the rear speakers but not ready to tear apart my car with 100 miles on it yet

well my loaner is a 2013 paceman that the owner just swapped for a 2014, it came with every option to the tune of 41K , who in their right mind would pay $1K for those rally lights ? Any way back on topic, the car of course has premium sound and I noticed speakers under the seats, wow, hope they are water proof, sure sounds nice but that nav/prem unit is just too much stuff for me.

There are many, many threads about sound systems in these cars. Your limit is your imagination. Here's my personal rec:

Amp wiring adapter from newministuff.com
http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop...uctshow&id=469

Alpine V series 5 channel amp (75 x 4, 150 x 1)
Front component set of your choice (MB Quarts here, Focals are popular too)
Ignore the rear speakers
Alpine R series ported 8" box (you could find a 10" box but I think it's overkill in these cars)
Get someone competent to tune the system
Put sound deadener everywhere you can

You'll have a killer system for <$1000
