hi there , i've had my Puma for 7 months and still in love with it ! I'm in the process of fitting subs in it but don't know if i need a new head unit ? can anyone help me ? x

You will need a new headunit if you are using the Ford one currently as you need one with a pre-out for the subs

As far as I recall.

I guess you could stick with the Ford head unit as long as you bought an amp with high level inputs.

I didn't like the overall quality of it and have a Kenwood headunit running the standard speakers (but with crossovers on all the speakers) and extra tweeters plus a 12inch Kenwood sub/kicker amp in the boot. There is still just enough room to fit the shopping in and the bass can be felt as well as heard.

I took my sub out of the boot last weekend for the Mumbles meet to get a pram in there instead

I will however be putting it straight back in the boot this Friday when I next have some spare time - with no bottom end, the tunes in my car at the mojo sound bloody awful!

Couldn't possibly comment as to whether the Ford fitted headunit has pre-outs - the headunit in my FRP lasted the journey from the Tickfords factory in Daventry, to the local shopping centre where I then popped in my Sony minidisc headunit (at the time, since replaced with a Sony MP3 head) which did have pre-outs... Running power/signal/remote on cables to the boot is easy enough. It would certainly be wise to secure the sub cabinet in the boot with some straps - like I still haven't got around to doing

I didn't go anywhere near the bulkhead... I'll try and remember to take some happy snaps of my wiring tomorrow too

All will be revealed, tomorrow

You have to remember lads that jen is a gurl (i hope) and she may not be all teched up to do head units/pre-outs/wiring etc etc.

That's nothing against women though in general!

Jen, in response, I did fit one to my last car, I had a Sony Headunit wired pre-out to the boot with the remote with cabled the 12V off of the battery and then wired it to a pre-built sub/amp/box made by fli, all I wanted was a bit of extra bass and this was sufficient.. when I changed to the Puma I sold the sub and left the wiring in the other car though.. too big for the puma!
