hi, i'm thinking of adding a powered sub woofer in my trunk to run with my
stock 6 CD radio unit. 1) does the stock unit have low audio outputs? 2)
what's the best way to get to the back of the radio? I see 2 screws under
the radio section, but that's it. 3) what's the best way to run a hot wire
to the trunk area (to power the sub) should i go from the fuse panel inside
the car or try to run a straight wire to the battery and drill a hole thru
the firewall? 4) is it easier to run the wire along the door side or down
the middle by the console? Any help would be great! Thanks.

 

Just about the only way you could find out is if you took out the cd player.
It's really easy if you drill a hole in the firewall, that is what I did.

I can answer these two from a friend's 99 Accord...

It's better to run down the middle. It's better to run right off the
battery, with a thick gauge wire.

These two are not the easy choices. Works good for him, he's got three
amplifiers going...
