i know this is way way off the topic from computers, but i have read a couple of forums about welding and wiring and stuff like that, my friend for me these 2 subs into this sub box, picture below front and back, and i dont want to take out my existing back speakers off and install these, but how do i get around that so i can have my existing speakers along with these new ones, or if someone knows a better place to ask along with the site i'd really appriciate it, i've been searching for a while onlnie and nothing good came out, and i also dont feel like giving 50$ per hour just to get this hooked up, thanx in advance, much appriciation on who ever helps or tires to help. the front is regular with no wiring going in or out of it, the back has a black/red set that wires go into, there are 2 sets of black and red example, [black/red] [black/red]

both pictures should be here http://community.webshots.com/album/212748726oERuMl/3

Have you not got an AMP? You need an AMP if your wanting to use that SUB...

Is their not any other connectors on that SUB?
Looking at the picture with the Red/Black connectors that looks like power for maybe a Florecent light within the SUB Box?

I would get it installed professionally $50 is worth it and it shoulnt take them over an hour to fit... I did my first and took me about 2hours : /

The second time i got it done professionally! What a result much neater and quicker... My 2 cents is its worth the $50 : )

Best way to do it is get a line converter. Converts standard copper stranded wire into a line out (rca) connection. Run the RCA connections to a 4 channel amp, and use that amp to run your existing rear speakers and the speakers in the sub box. By the looks of them, those subs wont handle much more than 75w without disortion. So, an average 300w amp should do the trick. You will probably have to replace the rear deck speakers as well if you use an amp. If you just want to use the box with no amp, you aren't going to get much sound from a stock deck. Your max output on a stock deck is only about 4 watts per channel. Not nearly enough to make those speakers move any air. If you are intent on doing it this wya, though, you can cut the original terminals off the wires that are connected to your rear deck speakers. Put new terminals on the wire, but add a 'pig-tail' long enough to reach your sub-box. (crimp the new terminal with both the original speaker wire and the pig-tail). Don't expect to get much from the new box, though.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Regarding the red/black connections. Those are NOT for power, as stated by the previous poster. Those are your pos/neg speaker terminals. You can put 12v to it for a second or two to test the speaker though. If the speaker flexs when the 12v is applied, then the wiring inside the box is OK.
