OEM Sub Install instructions?

Anyone have a link to the OEM accessory sub available for the FIT in other countries? I'm trying to figure out what location they recommend and if the NA versions have the wiring already in place to support a small aftermarket self powered sub in that same location.

Its a discontinued audiovox sub, with countersunk amplified subwoofer. I had one before, sounded horrible!!!

Thanks, but I'm not looking on getting the OEM sub that Honda sells... just want instructions on installation for the FIT to mount my Kenwood powered sub in the same location. I was hoping the wiring is there as well to make it a plug and play install.

I bought the Kenwood powered sub also. I am planning to mount mine against the passenger side rear seat. I mounted the amp for the components on the driver side trunk body panel.

Cool... how are you planning to gain access to signal inputs for the sub? Let me know how it sounds once you're done.

I was looking for the OEM install instructions as I don't enjoy tearing the interior apart just to run wires.

I have RCAs running from a line output converter to the rear to hook up the subwoofer. I might run the remote for the subwoofer to the front...not sure yet.

Where did you get the line o/p converter and how did you tap that into the stock plug/harness on the OEM radio?

Haven't had my dash apart yet, so I don't know all the specifics involved from getting from here to there.

I bought the line output converter at CC.

I just spliced and sodered into the appropriate wires coming out of the harness in the back of the headunit. If you need to know what hooks up to where, it is in one of my other posts.

Thank you.
