Using existing Versa SL wiring to add subwoofer

[classicax]

I just upgraded the door speakers in my 07 Versa SL. I also added a powered sub and discovered the SL already has all the wiring you need to add low to moderately powered subs. It requires removing the back driver-side panel in the hatch, the back seat on the same side etc. Crutchfield provides excellent instructions on how to do this. But nowhere on the web could I find the wiring harness and speaker color codes for the sub. Once you have the back of the hatch disassembled, you can find the subwoofer harness tucked up underneath. Don't get confused with the satellite radio harness which is further back by the taillight and has many more wires/pins than the subwoofer. The nice thing about using this harness is you don’t need to run any additional wires for the audio signal in, nor the power. The +12volt, ground and remote-on power are all there and run thru the same 20 amp fuse as the radio. My sub is rated at 160 watts and has not blown the fuse. If you plan on a very high powered sub, you will want to run a separate +12volt line directly from the battery using heavier gauge wire than in the built-in harness.





Good luck..

Awesome! I will have to keep this in mind for my next Versa!

Do you still have instructions?
