Hello. It seems to be a bit overwhelming with options for subwoofer installs. I have seen many different things that don't quite match with my situation.
I had this sub and amp previously installed by a shop (Kenwood DDX470 in 2013 FR-S), but I want to see if I can do it myself this time, and to the factory Si radio head unit.
I do not have the wires from the old car, other than the wires to connect the sub to the amp. Based on my rudimentary knowledge and from taking it apart on the FR-S, I will need power to the amp, a "remote" wire to the amp, and RCA cables from the head unit to the amp. I have no idea what specific wiring I would need or if I need additional hardware (I saw lots of people split on this LC2i device that I'd never previously heard of).
I have also seen people run directly off the factory sub wires. Seems easier, but may or may not be enough power or as good of a signal.
I have a JL 10w3 and Alpine MRP M500, intended for a 2020 Si Sedan.
Halp?
