Hi

I recently bought a sub for the boot of my GP and I am now fitting it.

It is the totally standard 1.2 8v punto radio system. And im having a few problems



Power-

is fine.



Remote-

i am having a problem. Is there a way of connecting it to the radio system not to the cigarette lighter socket?



The RCA input-
to the system again i am having problems.
I am trying to use this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPEAKER-R...667814?clk_rvr_id=360828131022#ht_2433wt_1399




It would work fine but all speaker outputs are already being used. How am i able to get this to work?

Thanks alot

Alex

Although I connected my sub to my cigarette lighter, I suppose you could just connect it to the 12v power wire on the back of the headunit. But I'm not sure whether that would turn on with ignition or on with the headunit.
I used that speaker to RCA converter and it works fine. Cut the specific speaker wires, and patch in the RCA converters wires. There is a picture on my thread of when I did it. :)
 
there is a way i got a connector from ebay it was a ipod adapter with a remote cable cant rember what it was called but that works a treat its the yellow block and i did have mine set up like that with line levle adapter u can just use your rear speaker lines for singnal i never use rear speakers cuz they are poop :D have look at my amp install may help to show u how i did it https://www.fiatforum.com/grande-punto/302611-new-speaker-cable-install.html
 
Am pretty sure that the standard headunit for the Grande doesn't have an ignition feed, as its turned on and off by the canbus system.

You use the RCA conversion box by cutting into the rear speaker feeds like myself and lukemortlock7 have. See in his Motors thread the connectors we use.
 
Just wondering if you guys could help me, Im trying fit my subwoofer into my 2008 grande punto, however i am struggling to find the hole to put the power cables through in order to connect them to the battery underneath the bonnet, am i going to have to drill a hole underneath the passenger footwell or is there a much easier alternative,
any help would be much appreciated,
thanks
