You will never hear the difference.

The wiring harness adapter is less than $10 online. It makes everything 10x easier. You just wire your new stereo to the adapter outside of the car then it’s plug and play. No laying across the seats with the shifter in your ribs trying to connect wires inside the hole in the dash.

If you need polyfill, just go to hobby lobby or the craft section at Walmart. It’s about half the price of the stereo supply.

The answer is maybe. Their are too many variables at that power level for anyone to do more than guess. Amplifier efficiency, impedance rise, alternator efficiency etc all come into play. Buy what you’re planning on using and try it. But be prepared to add more if needed.

Thread is from 2015. The OP hasn’t logged in here since 2021.

It was a powered 12 inch subwoofer. I don’t remember the exact one. It has been a while.

Go to the battery directly. Period. I know a person who tried to wire an amplifier to the fuse box. I told him that it was a bad idea but he did it anyway. I drove by his house a week later and the burnt hull of his truck was sitting in the driveway. Not Kidding.

Yes you can. If you wire the 4 subs for .5 ohms you would wire the 2 boxes in series to get a 1 ohm load. https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/subwoofer-wiring-diagrams.asp?Q=4&I=42

It would also be easy to add an equalizer to have individual rca inputs for all of the channels. A decent one can be had for less than $40. https://www.ctsounds.com/products/ct-7eq

I just googled the manual for the eq. It only pulls 5.5 amps at full power. Just connect it to the radio power wiring. It will be fine. Especially since you are not going to be using the radio’s internal amplifier. Also, that eq only produces 15 watts per channel. It is entirely possible that...

I am running one of the under seat 10’s in my daily driver to add some bass. It has already occurred to me that the daily has better bass up front and low mid bass than my weekend car that has a big stereo in it. I am very seriously considering buying another under seat sub for the other car...

They sound fine within their frequency range. I run Arnold’s myself. If the rest of your stereo is capable of playing bass up to 100 or 110 hertz then you should be fine. Also, just as a side note. When I turned on my deaf bonces for the first time, they sounded absolutely awful. So bad...

The deaf bonce will be much louder in the mid range than the alpine, but will not make any bass.

If you’re just going for the look of bed liner you can use textured spray paint. The advantage of that is their are several colors to choose from to match your interior.

Unfortunately for you , a very large majority of the people on this forum are in the USA. We don’t have Skoda cars here. I will say that the factory stereo is 14 years out of date and malfunctioning. I would look into replacing it with a modern aftermarket stereo.
