Need advice...removing active sub
I'm planning to remove an aftermarter under-seat active/powered subwoofer from one car to install into another car.
Question is...if I unplugged just the active sub only (leaving the cables and wires in the car) will the rest of the vehicles speakers etc still function as normal? |
Who knows.
A bit more detail would help? Which active sub? Which car? What kind of connections? Etc... |
It's a pioneer 8" slim sub which is fitted to a 2013 CRV. I don't know what connections bcoz it was installed by an audio shop.
I was thinking of testing by disconnecting the power from battery source, if everything else works fine that means I should be able to remove it safely. Thoughts? |
Maybe, test, don't guess. Just ensure you don't leave any live wires floating around which could short out.

If you're talking about this guy, it's not an active subwoofer. It's a pre-loaded box. There is an external amplifier. We'd need to know which amp. http://i.seimg.net/images/657314/main/tsswx251.jpg If it's this one, it's brand spankin' new, expensive, and I thought it was exclusive to Europe. You can safely remove the connectors, but I'd wrap some electrical tape over the power connector. http://www.pioneer.eu/images/uk/news...S-WX710A_c.jpg If it's this one, you're in a similar European boat. Connector should pull out and wrap it with electrical tape. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Pioneer-TS-WX...SUDw~~60_3.JPG Alternatively, you could find the fuse and pull that. Most of the active slim subs use very little power, so yanking it won't do anything. |
Thanks guys. Yes it's the same as last picture shown above. I'll make sure all wires get wrapped up nicely.
Update: I managed to remove the sub successfully...with the rest of the stock system all still working perfectly. Thanks guys! |
