Evening all.
I'm expecting delivery of a kenwood ksc-sw11 in the coming days. Will be installing myself (noob with some limited experience) in my mk3 Octavia (2016 pre-fl).
After reading through as many threads as I could find on here, I think I've managed to get my head around most of it. Just a couple of questions if anyone can assist.
1. Tapping into the speaker wires for the sub input - I've seen all sorts of instruction about tapping into the wires at the back of the headunit/glove comp unit, however, would it be easier to tap into the rear speaker wires at floor level where they run to the doors? If so, what's the best way of accessing this? Is it hidden under the B pillar?
My only reason for this is to try and limit too much of a rat's nest of wires behind the head unit, as I'm looking to later install and amp and upgrade the front door speakers as well.
If my idea is logical - any advice on removing the relevant trim to access said wires?
2. The sub can be powered from the fuse box, with a permanent live and a ignition live, using fuse taps. I've ordered the taps, but was wondering if anyone has any advice on which fuses to tap into for each signal?
I'm sure when the sub arrives, and I begin the install, I'll have a dozen more questions as I work through it, so any advice that you could give now will be greatfully received!
Cheers all,
Tom.
