[QUOTE="Tomanomanom, post: 8841434, member: 688862"] Hi, guys! Hope everyone’s well. I’ve recently brought a caddy (2007) (just for a work van). Radio needs abit of an update. Therefore I’ve decided to upgrade and add a potential subwoofer. Now I’m very green at all this and was looking for some pointers so that I don’t destroy anything! Radio: On the aftermarket speaker harness, it comes with an orange wire (illumination) and a red wire (ignition) both free with a connectors on the end of them (pic). Do these have a specific place or are the subject to requirements? Subwoofer: First question is can I splice on the subs system remote control to the radios one? (The radio has a free cable that I could join on to) (pic 3) Now power chord, from the sub it has two 18 awg chords merged into one, will i have to connect a lower gauge wire to pick up the slack and join that on to the battery? Sorry to write a mini novel but I will definitely appreciate any thoughts and tips to these overcome these issues! Cheers! P.s sorry about shoddy photos, phone’s camera is filled up with sawdust. Specs: Caddy 2007 Aftermarket radio: pioneer DMH-A240BT Subwoofer: kenwood ksc-sw11 [/QUOTE]
