Hi all,
I have a 12 inch sealed sub and an amp which I want to have installed on my 2010 TSX 4cyl Canadian base model. What I would like is to have a quick option to have the OEM sub functional when required.
1. When I am in need of trunk space, I would remove the sealed sub but have the oem sub functional.
2. When the sealed sub is in the trunk, the oem sub is disconnected.
I went to two shops. Both shops indicated that they will use a LOC but would have the oem sub functional with the aftermarket sub.
Shop 1 tells me that he will take the signal from the two rear speakers and not tap into the oem sub speaker cable leading to the oem sub.
Shop 2 tells me that he will just tap into oem sub speaker cable.
In both shops, they will maintain the oem sub functional with the after market sub.
Which way should I go? Is there there some EQ on the OEM sub, thus driving that signal over to the aftermarket sub amp will not give me the lower frequency that the OEM sub can't handle?
Does the two rear speakers (left & right), have the full range signal?
Also, what do you think of having the OEM sub functional with the after market sub?
I was originally thinking of just putting some sort of a speaker switch off the sub speaker cable from the oem sub amp. When I remove the aftermarket sub, I would manually push the speaker switch button to route the signal back to the OEM sub.
However, both shops are indicating that it's best to just keep the oem sub functional along with the aftermarket sub.
Thank You.
