I have had a subwoofer in my old car it was a fusion encounter but can you fit an active subwoofer to the 6 disc multi changer ford stereo?are there any pre outs on the back of the stereo? I was thinking of adding sumthing I could take out easy for when i needed boot space as its limited anyway.

I don't think any of the 6 discs have pre-outs. However, what you can buy is a high/low crossover filter thingy which basically lets you splice into the rear speaker wires and take a feed from there (keeping original speakers intact). Just did this on my 1 series and it has worked well.

I bought the box for about £7 off ebay. Link

Either of those subs would do fine. My personal favourite is the Alpine Type R, now seem to be SWR, a step up from Dal's sub.

However, this time around I was on a budget and did a bit of research, extremely impressed by the sub and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to spend £350 plus for a top Alpine install.

you dont have to spend loads to get a good sub!

i spent £35 on the amp, £15 on the sub and £20 on the box... cheap and cheerful and works perfectly well

depends on what you want... alpine are known for the good quality but they will cost a fair amount. there is nothing stopping you going for an unknown make as long as you dont expect top spec sound

The one I linked you in the above post which I have is an active sub - i.e. it's all built into that one box. Nice looking sub and good performer. You won't be disappointed
