Installing the OEM sub

I finally finished the install of the new sound system and sold the OEM sub to another smartie here in town.Now,how to hook it up.I think he has a radio 9 and is it wired/ready for the sub? I also have the radio 10 from my car so would that be a better bet for him?I looked over at evilution and the only thing I question is having to wire up the woofer.Isn't the wiring already there?

The wiring is already there, under the carpet; I think I spoke of it in the directions you used. There's an X cut in the carpet slightly inside the right front corner of the seat brackets. If you unbolt the seat so you can get the sub underneath, it's easy to lift the edge of the carpet, find the connector head, and feed it through that X. All cars are wired the same.

A Radio10 is a little nicer than a Radio9, giving 6 disks worth of capacity and slightly better MP3 disk support. Many people upgrade to a Radio10 when they find out how inexpensive they can be found.
