all you need is an amp with high pass inputs
ie uses the speaker wires from the ba as the input signal
if you have a amp without these you'll need to get a line converter
does the same thing (converts highpass to rca)

If you want help, other forumites need to understand what you are saying - try English instead of f**kwit-speak. This is a forum, not a mobile phone.

Mate, best thing to do is go into a car audio place that sells Stinger products and ask for a PAC LC2 adjustable speaker to RCA converter.
I've used heaps of these on BA's and haven't had a problem as It's ideal for adjusting the volume of your sub instead of always turning the bass up/down on your head unit :wink:

Either get a line converter or a head unit. I've had a line converter and recently upgraded to a head unit. The head unit sounds alot better but the line converter will do the job for a sub

got evrythin installed at autobarn about a month or 2 ago. the guy ran evrythin throug the amp, i didnt need anything extra. im not running 2 pioneer 12" 1200w. amp that i hav atm isnt powerful enough tho 2 get the most out of the subs, so saving up for a kicker mono block amp 750w rms. my clarion amp atm is 240W rms and is a 4 channel with the channels bridged together, does the job for now.

will post pics up later tonight maybe
