Getting good pwr to the amp is prob harder, you'l need a good supply, don't suppose the battery is nearby ??????
Thanks for the advice, Simon530d.
The battery is in the trunk, which is where Ill put the sub.. if I get the power through the cig lighter will be no good? Its fused at 20A@12V..the DC->AC converter I plan to run will max out far below that, perhaps 100W max steady.. ill try the filtered 12V and 13.8v direct
The first converter I order above turned out to be a piece of crap so Im going to invest a little more for a better one..
I'll need to spend so time figuring out how to remove the various trim pieces..
The sub is already amped, just runs on AC(its a home sub).. so I don't need to convert the signal to phono right?
