[QUOTE="Synyster06Gates, post: 15081761, member: 121508"] I finished up my Maestro RR/Kenwood install and the setup sounds decent. I want to add a subwoofer in the trunk to make it sounds more like the Shaker 1000 that was in my old 06. I'm not an audiophile. It doesn't have to be the best sub ever as long as it sounds decent. With that said, I'm not sure how/where to get signal. The Kenwood head unit has 3 RCA preouts. The installation of the Maestro and Mus01 dash kit required me to use the subwoofer preout to retain the door subs in the shaker. Since that preout is taken, where do I get signal for my sub? The way I see it, my only options would be 1. Use two RCA Y-splitters and send signal to both the door subs and the trunk sub with the same preout. Problem here is that I would not be able to control them independently. 2. Move the Shaker 500 RCA to the rear preout and use the SW preout for the trunk sub. I'm not too sure how this would work. 3. Leave the head unit alone and tap into the rear speakers with a LOC and plug the amp in there. What would be the best method for this? [/QUOTE]
