Attempting to swap stock B&O sub with JBL Basspro Hub...need wiring help
So as the title says, I would like to swap out the stock Bang&O subwoofer and put in the spare tire sized, amplified JBL Basspro Hub.
The wiring, or lack there of has me a bit confused. There are only 2 wires going into the sub. A yellow/white and a blue yellow. I understand that the new JBL will require power (which I already have a wiring kit/fuse for), but how do I tap into the signal wires? Can I use the current wires from disconnected sub or do I need to find other wires? https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...c6bbd513b.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...7ebdb10f8.jpeg |
Did you figure it out? I have a jbl in the mail as i type. Any advice is appreciated.

Yes, but the sub is too tall and doesn’t quite fit. I’ll provide more details later

I’ve heard cerwin Vega makes one that fits better
|
Yeah, I'll wait to read what you have to say about the install and the fitting. Do you have a q5 or q7? If a q5 does it raise the folding cover?
|
SQ5. Exactly, it raises the cover. Working on a way to fix this

Bringing this one back from the depths..... I recently picked up a 17 SQ5 and I was hoping to add this JBL BassPro unit to my stock B&O system. Were you able to modify anything so the trunk panel laid flat? Also, how did you wire it into the audio system. Any need for a Line Out Converter?

it still has the rise, I haven’t fixed that yet, but I have a trunk mat that goes over it. My plan is to pick up a sore cover and cut a circle out of it, and lay it over the top. That’s probably the easiest way. No need for line out converted, just spliced the lines that are already there and connected to the accessory power that’s nearby (I think it’s a 12b plug on the side of the trunk)
Also, if/when you get a chance would you be willing to post a quick picture of what the install looks like now? Just the "hump" of the floor board. |
