We crimped bullet terminals on to the ends of the 4-conductor cable after we’d run it through to the sub location. The sub comes with a connector that has bullet terminals crimped on the ends. It doesn’t really matter which colors you choose to connect these to in your 4-conductor cable, just so long as you remember which is which when you come to wire the sub up at the other end! The speaker wire colors for the center speaker are: Fishing the cable through so we can run it down the console and to the front seat base. You could also run it to the passenger seat base if you wanted to hide the sub away under the passenger seat. We ran it from the center speaker location on the dash, through the center console, down through the wiring channel from the console to the driver’s seat base, and from there to the back side of the seat base. We used 4-conductor 18-AWG cable from Monoprice via Amazon. Wiring a sub to the center speaker connectors Tape the wires down so they don’t rattle It’s fed by both the left and right channels, so it’s an ideal location to grab inputs for the sub.

We unhooked ours when we added aftermarket speakers. The center channel speaker in the middle of the dash is pretty much useless. Luckily, there’s a really good location to do this. Instead you have to hook in to the existing speaker cables to get sound to the sub. That’s important because the stock stereo doesn’t have a line/component level output to power the sub. The Pioneer sub has speaker level inputs. Wiring the subwoofer unit in to the stereo All we really wanted was to add the low-end back into the music we were listening to.

The subwoofer we chose is not going to blow the windows out with its power, but then we aren’t trying to wake the neighborhood up with our wub-wub-wubbing dubstep bass drops. Subwoofer attached to fridge cabinet behind driver’s seat In our van it also sits well just behind the driver’s seat lodged up against our cabinets. It slots well into the passenger seat base – even the lowered base that we have in our van. We bought a (relatively) cheap Pioneer TS-WH500A powered subwoofer that’s designed to fit under the seat in most cars. Adding a subwooferĮven with upgraded speakers, the low end was still missing from the music we were playing. That really helped with sound quality, but didn’t quite go far enough. We previously upgraded the speakers in the doors and dash. The head unit doesn’t have a dedicated subwoofer output so you have to get creative if you want to add better bass. It does relatively OK in the high end because it has separate tweeters, but the door speakers just aren’t big enough to reproduce low frequencies very well. The stock Sprinter stereo doesn’t have great dynamic range.
