Sub & Amp for Captiva

DjNik · 1st December 2009, 19:27

Guys, a friend of mine is thinking of getting a captiva and wants to install a sub and amp in it, the query is that he isnt replacing the HU so either the stock HU has pre-outs or we use a line out converter in either case how is the remote turn on cable to be connected?
Is splicing a +12v ignition wire behind the HU only option?
Whats the correct way o doing it?
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

I fixed an amp and sub to my stock HU of the Xylo today. There was an output. So i think the Captiva should have one too.

How about the remote turn out wire?Was it cut and joined behind the head unit?

Yes. That's what was done.

Tell him to go to a good installer.
If he doesn't want to replace the stock hu, then either a processor or a line-in convertor is the only solution i can see.
