its got two connectors, one going in to the enclosure and one going to the front of the car.

its not hooked together in any way between those two connectors,
il post pics in a minute.

This is the one going towards the front. it could be to the amp, im not sure.

thats the one going to the enclosure, no connections between either. im kind of a noob when it comes to connections and things.

Welcome to FocalJet.

Let's see if anyone in our ICE section can answer this one...

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

thank you.

sorry about posting in the wrong area, i wasn't sure which section it belonged in.

[20focus03]

pictures are real clear but on connects to the amp

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

hmm. is it the one runing towards the front of the car? or the one going into the enclosure?

[20focus03]

the one towars the enclosure since the amp sits right on top of it

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

oh. so am i missing the amp then?

what does the amp look like?

[20focus03]

its a big sliver square should be right on top of the sub enclosure unless some took it out

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

ahh.i see. any idea how much one would run me, new or used?
or if it would even work?

[20focus03]

so your missing the amp? i know there are some on ff if those arent available its gonna be tough trying to track one down

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

yeah, theres the black plastic enclosure, and nothing on top but 4 holes.
i heard somewhere the amps on the passenger side?

[20focus03]

no the amp is on the drivers side right ontop of the enclosure,those 4 holes is where it bolts down,u need to check out focusfanatics audio for sale section i think i saw a few of them on there

[Dads03SVT]

While were on the subject of the stock amp..anyone know how many watts it pushes to the stock sub???

[20focus03]

i cant remeber i wanna say something like 300ish,but dont quote me on that

[Dads03SVT]

I heard 200....if so that's not enough to push a 8 inch JL-W3.

[20focus03]

while i was waiting to track down another stock sub i had a fosgate 10 in my stock enclosure with stock amp it sounded fine

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

i heard a lot less, but another question, what subs would fit in the stock in closure with little or no fab work?

[20focus03]

ive seen all the way to a 12in with a little trimming,i had a ten in mine with no trimming

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

ahh. thank you very much.

is there any kind of rep system so i can credit you for your help or something?

[20focus03]

no theres not,dont even worry about us jetters look out for each other

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

ah thank you very much.

Could you do me a favor? I have the opposite problem from you: I have the amp, but not the wiring! I bought the stock subwoofer from someone but for some reason my car doesn't have the wiring in place and I'm going to have to make up my own. Can you take a picture of that connector, the one that has 7 (?) wires going in to it so that I can see what wire goes into what place on the connector? I believe there should be two red (12v constant), two black/blue (grounds), one white/red (amp turn on), and then the positive and negative amp inputs (wht/blk and gry/blk), but I'm not sure which position each are in on the connector. And then on the other one, is it just two wires? One white and one gray and going to the speaker?

Also, can you (or anyone out there) let me know how the sub enclosure bolts to the floor and wall? I have the brackets and bolts but there are just large holes on the car that match up to them and they don't have nuts welded to the back and there is no access to get behind there and hold a nut while bolting the brackets on. Is there some sort of insert that pushes into the holes and then the bolts screw into them?

I'd really appreciate it!

[20focus03]

the whole should be threaded,if not get yourself and a tap and dye set and make your own threads

[stephens]

I can't tap it because though the holes are already there, they are much too large. The holes in the bracket piece are sized for size 6 metric bolts and those came with the subwoofer. But the holes drilled in the floor and wall are so large even a size 14 bolt can fall right in. If the holes are supposed to be smaller and threaded, then I'm SOL. I'm going to have to attach the enclosure some other way - make a different bracket and tap new holes, or maybe just velcro the thing.

But the wiring is more important so if anyone can post about that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

[2004.blue.euro.svt.]

are you talking about the wiring like coming from the connectors in my pictures.
