Speaker envy!

Post by greypolo9n3 »

Im looking to put a sub onto my 6R..i have RNS 510

i know i need a RCA adapter to run the sub

Then found out i need component speakers in the doors to run tweeters...

so whats is the best cheapest option?..shall i try just the sub first..i dont want it powerful ...just extra bass over standard thats all

+ are aftermarket speakers straight plug in to standard wiring?

A line level RCA adapter for the sub is all you need

The stock speakers are more than capable and once you push the bass to the sub you can up the volume quite considerably

When you install your sub can you do a step by step please mate? I'm struggling to get my head around it, where to run power supply from battery, remote turn on, where to ground, fitting the RCA adapter to the stereo? Cheers mate
