so i traded in my cavi and got me an '07 cobalt ss/sc with the pioneer system installed, how easy would it be to install the sub and amp from that i already have using the pioneer setup? would it be as easy as pulling out the wiring for the old sub (is there already some rca's back there to the pioneer sub) and jacking it right into the amp i've got. also how easy is the car to run wires throughout? i know a lot of the cavi trim easily snapped in and outa place which made installs super easy, how easy is the cobalt to work in? thanks for your help!

 

cobalt is easier then the cavi... by far (especially coupe v coupe)

theres no rcas anywhere but you can install a LOC in the back where the wires are running to the sub (on top of the sub box then re run speaker wire direct into the stock box. you would need a shallow 10 thou and if ur expecting crazy bass ur not gonna get it out of the stock box

 

thanks for that, but i was just looking for the rcas to jack into my amp and 12'' sub and box that i've already got...yeah i forgot to mention that i've still got the 12" box and amp that i'm ready to just drop into the trunk. but again thanks for the help!

 

right an LOC (line output converter) is the only way you get rcas in a stock system. stock they dont use rcas they just use locking molex plugs

maybe this will help

 

ive seen it done. a girl that had a ss/tc. any way she swaped out the stock sub for a P2 rockford punch sub....i really didnt notice a diff. sounded the same to me.

 

wow! that is awesome!! thanks for pointing that out!

 

I am running my two 12's off the factory amp. The factory sub is a 2 ohm dual voice coil. I took two 12" subs and wired them in parallel to get a 2 ohm load and then hooked it to the Factory amp wiring that I bridged. It definately has more bang than the Single 10". Somewhere down the road I may add an sub amplifier to it.

 

395 PLUS THAT LOOKS NICE MAN, surprised u set that **** up on a stock amp...nice work lol

JJ question...if i cut the wires going to the stock sub box...and tape them...and never use them does the amplifier have stronger outputs on the rest of the channels or does that not matter, cuz when i put in my MTX 10''s I ALSO HAVE AN MTX 2 channel AMP, so i dont need any original amp for my subs, but i was wondering if it would make the speakers sound louder/clearer by removing sub. id go outside and do it now, but im in my pjs mannnn

 

no it wouldnt matter because th 6 channel design of the stock amp. but theres a plug on top of the stock box so you can just unplug it instead of cutting the wires

 

LOL PWNED thans jj will do when i actually open my trunk and look at it fkn canada winters

 

lol.
