Do you know how they tapped to get the signal for the sub (from a speaker or HU)? I have a sports trim myself.

I'm getting prepped to to the same this weekend. I looked at the BassPro hub, but opted for a single 12" sub that I'll mount in a self-fabricated box. Should get the carpet and terminals tomorrow so I can build it. I'm using the Beats Sonic amp as the interface from the stock head unit to the rear amp that will drive the sub. Can't wait to disassemble 3/4 of the car to get the Beat Sonic amp installed.

Did you change out the head unit?

I did not, new speakers and JBL Bass with Amp

You say, "All new speakers."

Did you put 2 ohm speakers in the doors? (The system comes with 2 ohm ones in the door. They are IN LINE with the dash speakers that are 4 ohm.) YES, I know that is completely stupid audio-wise.

Did you bother putting in new "rear" speakers?

Be careful with rattles after. At least you doing it yourself. Paying "professional" to do this, i am sure if they lost a screw/bolt, nobody would know.

Do you know if the Bose system is also 2ohm door 4ohm dash? I was thinking of leaving the rears alone. Im getting a powered sub installed today.

In many forums, the topics get rehashed as they get pushed down through the pages.

I do NOT know about Bose systems, as I was one of "the poors" who had a Sport. But @Mr. Mac had this thread:

I made this thread, thinking it would be the repository for all things Sport audio:

I thought I'd be like Yoda, but then folks like @Outbid25500 came along and showed some GREAT work.

No idea. But one of the threads above shows an efficient way to run power from the battery to the hatch....

I thought the Bose stock was a powered subwoofer? I could be wrong

Passive but receives like 30w from the stock Bose amp (if remember correctly). The 300w sub I had installed made a huge difference!

Yoda it is, cause this stuff gets confusing real quick to a noob like me. Thanks.. bookmarked as I'm still looking at speaker swap.
