Default Install Subwoofers+Amp on 2008 A4 with Audi Nav headunit

Hey guys,

Well I to start to look for subwoofers for my car and what not. My friend said his dad could do the job no problems. So I went to him today and he got in the car to look at it and goes "Ah not this". I told him I clearly want to keep the head unit I have and if you can't install subs+amp then we wont do the job.

He went on to explain to me how its going to be a BIG job and what not. So I got down there today and he said its going to run me about $40-50 an hour and it will be like 8 hours of work to do this. I have heard to work with the head unit is a pain and what not.

What do you guys think?

y not use a Low output converter and tap into the rear subwoofer signal. That to me is the easiest way of hooking up a sub in our cars. U may lose a little and i say a little bit of clarity but the difference is negligble.

Will these even be a different if I do it through the rear speaker then if I do it through the head unit? What wires/ect will I need for this project?

U should be okay using a low output converter. just to get an idea what u are looking for. They sell em at walmart and bestbuy anywhere electronics are found really. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trk...All-Categories
All you do it tap into the positive and negative speaker wires and then plug ur rcas into the low out put converter. And run ur remote wire to a fuse that receieves power when the car is turned on and ur battery cable and ground.
