OrionStang Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I want to add a sub to my Mini. Its a 2011 Countryman S with the Harmon Kardon system. I would like to do an aftermarket dash, but I;m having no luck finding dash kits. So, if I wanted to just add a sub amplifier, where would I start looking? Line converter? Where would I tap the speaker wires? Finding diagrams is a PITA, every search I do comes up with Cooper stuff, and i'm sure my car's a little different. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
optical Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Good luck my parents just got a 12 countryman and my dad wants to do the same but cant find a whole lot on them. If you do find some resources post them up please. Quote

IBleedMusick Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) its amplified. first step is finding the factory amp. does it have a factory woofer? From a little searching it looks like it doesn't have a factory subwoofer. I stand corrected I went to a mini forum and someone was asking about the Harmon Kardon package and it was mention that there are 2 subs somewhere :shrugs:. Kind of mixed reviews on the sound. Ken, why not just fab up a dash kit? Or is this more of a lets slightly improve the sound but not go balls to the wall.

Kyblack76 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) These days MOST factory garb is band passed. With that IF your just wanting to add a sub stage, the factory sub signal is where you'll wanna collect from. Sub woofer or back 6x's... Whatever The best luck I had, was the RF-BLD. It had variable/selectable voltage in, clip indicator, and actually REMOVED noise,... Nevermind introduced. Just my experience. Sold my unit to TREY.... Wish I never did....

OrionStang Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Posted July 3, 2012 actually first step. wait for ray to see this. Exactly. It is amplified. Just want to add a substage, no factory subs. The factory mids and highs are pretty clean, so i'll leave them be for now. Upon further research, the radio is integrated with other systems in the car, so an aftermarket deck is not something I want to fuck with. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
OrionStang Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Posted July 3, 2012 Correction, there are midbass drivers under the seats. Factory 6-channel amp in rear quarter panel driver side. So, I guess I would need to tap the speaker wires before the factory amp. Now, just need to identify wire colors. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
Kyblack76 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Exactly where I'm at.... Can't touch OEM HU,.... And yup,.... Ray was a must ..... Quote SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
