Hi everyone new here, i gotta 2 week old brand new gp in chemical grey 1.2 active, very pleased with it, my question is, can u buy the factory fitted subwoofer seperatly and is it easy to fit?

no because you dont have the wires in the loom or the pre out on the HU...

its not impossible though..

That guide is only for when you already have a factory fitted sub.

I'd get an aftermarkwt sound system, mines all Vibe and JL Audio now, the only thing standard is the head unit as I want my blue and me.

I got a Halfords Ripspeed under seat subwoofer, cost £40. Doesnt give loads of bass but enhances sound. Should think its similar to the factory fit one. Very easy to fit (took me about 30mins), completely hidden when its fitted under the seat aswell. Its a PSR-135A. Have a look http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_266555_langId_-1_CarSelectorCatalogId__CarSelectorGroupId__varient__categoryId_98185_crumb_31265-31371-98183_parentcategoryrn_98185

but it does show the RCA addaptor to enable you to use the amped output to run the sub...

Thats what I was going to do attatch an RCA converter, but needed a new amp so just bought a Rockford 401s with high level input on, killed 2 jobs in one hit.

Thanks for all your replies, it looks like i'm getting an after market one then, but how can i?, my standard head unit has the blue and me removing that is not an option, and i doubt it has the output's for a sub, i like the look of that underseat sub, looks pretty good, but how would i connect that to my head unit?

I'm running a Vibe CBR12 Evo off the original head unit, I too didn't want to lose the features of blue and me or steering controls.

It is possible, it just takes a bit of wiring and about a day (Although I replaced all the speakers aswell, front, rear, tweeters)

Fiat do a full speaker set. I'm sure its only about £120, that includes a subwoofer. Probably charge the same for fitting though lol

Are you talking about the interscope sound system?. if so its a balls ache to fit after the car is built due to extra wiring looms.

Its very simple. power from battery, speaker level inputs from the back of the headunit. If you look in the guides section for the Blaupunkt sub guide its the same apart a remote lead that connects to the ACC on the headunit.

I think you would be able to answer my questions, lol
i have just bought a nice wee 1.2 active in new orleans blue, the money i will save on fuel each month almost pays for the car as i drove a tuned calibra turbo before,
Im wanting to move my ICE across but was unsure about the blue & me system, i have an alpine set up, iva-d300 7" touchscreen dvd slider, would i loose phone and steering controls if i remove the standard HU,
also i have 2 sets of the X type componants, i think they are 17cm (6.5") speakers with tweeters, would these fit in the doors and rear quarters?
the sound of them is not bad, not sure if i need to change the speakers but worried if the Bass from the single 12" i will be powering from the Alpine Monoblock amp will drown them out, i also have a 4 channel amp,,

Sorry, i know im asking alot, maybe the main thing i should ask is,, will the Alternator cope with any Amps or Power caps,

If all these answers are in a previous post of yours just point me in the general direction

cheers

Ok this gonna sound like a n00b question but i got a brand new punto end of last year =/ wasnt given any optionals so didnt get to have a sub fitted.
Just wondered what I would need and where i could get it all from (Y) Would be lush as i have a lot of time on my hands atm.

If anyone could get back to me that would be aces.
Cheers

Welcome to the Forum at least you managed to find the search function unlike some

most car accessory shops should be able to supply you with what you wnat/need i suggest you take a look at the ICE section for ideas on what is on the market and costings

mine has all the wiring their etc, so if any one has the original one i would be interested!

You can still use blue and me with an aftermarket head unit as ling as it has a rear aux input

I followed this fantastic guide for my 2006 GPS and i'm really pleased with the results.
Took me about a hour to fit and a few of my fav tunes to get the settings just right.

It even turns on/off automatically so no flat batteries

hi guys i just got my self one of these cars its a 56 plate 1.4 active sport

Ive translated the page with google but here is installation instructions

Hmm this is interesting. I had a mk2 punto sporting for my first car which came with a built in 100w sub and when I bought my 2006 GPS I didn't even know that a factory sub was an option. Now I know about it... I WANT! From reading the above posts though; I won't have the wiring to support the sub will I? I don't want the balls ache of fitting a normal 12" sub in the boot as they aren't practical and if I can't get the standard one because of wiring then I will just go without.

Any thoughts on this? Or should I just "use the search tool" as that seems like a common reply on this forum.
