So I'm looking to fix my console sub problem in my '04 TJ, and I understand everything where physical installation of the sub is involved. Where things get fuzzy for me is the amp. Currently, all of my speakers in the Jeep have been changed over to appropriate Kicker replacements with the exception of the console sub. A couple of years ago I added a self-contained sub (amp built-in) in the back, and connected that the to RCA Sub outs in back of the aftermarket HU. That was pretty straight forward and no mysteries there.
- My first question is that if I take the old factory amp out of the console, I should be able to leave the factory harness for it disconnected, and laying loose, correct? The reason I ask this is that I would have a cable run from the new aftermarket amp to the new aftermarket sub in the console.
- This leads to my second question, from my aftermarket HU I've already attached the self contained Fosgate sub/amp combo, would I just be able to run an RCA Y adapter cable off of the HU sub out so that I can control both subs independently of the HU controlled speakers in the dash and soundbar? This seems right, since I'd think it'd be a mono signal coming out of the RCA sub outs in the HU.
I apologize if these are dumb questions, I just really don't know much about sound systems, and trying to learn. The answers may have been captured in previous posts, and I'm just not translating it correctly too. Any help would be appreciated!
