Audio Systems: Bazooka subwoofer speakers (EL8A), vw passat, bass tubes


Question
I have a 2001 VW Passat 4cyl. and i purchased the bazooka subwoofer bass tubes and it said everything i need is included and that i just need to wire it up. i'm curious as to where i connect the wires when it is in my trunk. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Answer
The EL8A is a powered subwoofer. It has its own amp built into the box.

There are three or four connections that must be made:

ONE: 12 v power line to the amp.
TWO: 12 v turn on line from the head unit.
THREE:  The audio signal from the head unit that has the bass feed to the input
FOUR: If stereo you may need to bring both left and right to the input of the amp.

The power lines are single wires. The audio are usually RCA type coax wires.

Does this answer your question? If not, come back to me and ask more.
