Wiring Bazooka 6250 Sub to stock head unit

Bandit_Kaine · 12-29-2012, 06:30 AM

The bazookas have RCA inputs I believe, if it was me I would buy a Lineout converter and do what this guy did on his Murano.

Basically I would get a lineout converter, use the signal that is already going to the factory bose woofer, convert to RCA and into the bazookas. The signal is already fitlered so you'll be getting only lows from this signal, no mids and highs.

He has the base sound system not bose, and i would highly not recommend what that guy did in the murano.

He certainly could run an loc in the meantime, if he chose to. he would simply have to tap into the speaker wires behind the head unit. As a matter of fact, the Bazooka may have high level inputs as well.
The guy with the murano did an adequate job on his install, and is happy with the results, I dont understand why Matt is busting his chops over it.

He would not need it as most self powered subs have high level inputs. It does the same things as a LOC.

I am not busting his chops, simply put those small woofers bose has are not going to take much more power than what they were getting. So by beefing up the power your cutting the life span down on them. Instead of simply just installing a new sub which will give you even better sound and could very well be easier than tearing an entire assembly apart.

I agree with that statement.

I didn't mean do what he did as in add an aftermarket amplifier to the bose woofer and overpower it.. I meant do what the murano guy did as in tap the signal going to the bose woofer and use that.

But I didn't notice OP has base system so it's obviously not possible to do that.

The bazookas do indeed have high level inputs then just tap into the factory wiring in the rear (you have no speakers in that area but wires should be there).

There are no rear speaker wire the OP would have to run wire up to the back of the head unit.
