Hi all,

I know this has probably been said before but how the hell do you fit a sub if you can in a mini? Because the stereo is in the speedo its quite difficult? I wish I had the Harmon Kardon at least. Is it worth buying that instead? Thanks guys. Em x

I thought the sub was sandwich or a U boat, seems descriptions mean not what they mean today :(
or is it a woofer, but then again that used to be a dog.

It is possible to fit a sub in the already very small boot but you lose most of the space if not all depending on the sub size. I am not sure on your system but if it has a sub out then all you need is a powered sub or you can go down the road of seperate amp and sub if you want some serious power.
Its really not a big complex job but you need to be ok with wiring and know your colour coding.


If you don't mind me asking , what don't you like about the standard system?

Its rubbish. There's no bass at all! The sound of the speakers are OK. I guess I am just used to my sub. I take it the standard stereo doesn't have a sub out? Thanks.
