How To Add Subwoofer To Apple Car Play Car Stereo

If you are looking to add more bass to your car audio system then installing a aftermarket car subwoofer is something that you should consider. There are many different size subwoofers to choose and install from. The bigger the subwoofer generally the bigger the sound, but you will take up possibly valuable boot space, which you may or may not need. Before installing a car subwoofer, you need to upgrade your factory car stereo to a apple car play stereo. This allows you to play your favourite music from Spotify and also use applications such as google maps to help you with driving. 

Once you have purchased your subwoofer, you will need to get a car amplifier wiring kit. This will contain all the parts that you required to install your car subwoofer into your vehicle. Since you have upgraded to a apple car play stereo, you don't need to use any kind of rca converter. You simply insert the RCA plugs into the back of the car stereo and the other end into the car amplifier. This will provide a source signal from the car stereo to the car amplifier. 

The other important part is you need to install the 12 volt red cable. This is the main feed that provides a constant 12 volt power to the car amplifier. Remember to install a fuse near the car battery side, this will protect the vehicle if an electrical short does occur. The blue remote wire will also need connecting to the blue wire on the back of your aftermarket apple car play car stereo. This will provide a signal telling when the car amplifier to turn on and off, this prevent your car battery draining. The ground cable is the most easiest cable to install. You should mount this onto a bolt in the boot area and onto a bear metal surface. The better the car amplifier ground, the better the performance you are going to obtain from your car subwoofer.
