hi there people, new to the site, just been looking around and seems theres alot to mod on these things.
I have a 58 berlingo van as a company van.
Also have a bmw coupe for all the other times. I have spent alot of time and money on my car, so i thought i would try some of that on the van now.
First things first...sub woofer.
Just a little one.
My friend has given me a blaupunkt tube style sub woofer. He's had it for years in his loft, never even tried it, so i volunteered to make use of it.
Being a plumber, the back of my van is purely for all my fittings and tools. I have built shelving and split them into compatments, also bolted a tool safe to the chassis. (gotta keep them tools safe)
So the only space i can think of to install the lil speaker would be behind my seat.
Now i would say i'm good at making things work but when it comes to car electrics and speakers im a little bit lost.
I have the stock radio installed and i need help on knowing what cables i need to connect to and where the best place to do so would be.
If anyone can provide me with a simple step by step of how i can install this it will be much appreciated.
On one side the sub woofer, it has a place for all the connections. Now I see there is a plug for high level input. Reading around I understand that this means i can tap into speaker cables for its source of sound??
Also, where is the best place to get power from and is there anything extra i need to get to make it work?
I have attached a pic of what the connections side looks like if thats any help to anyone.
