I was tidying up my trunk in my 2008 G37 base coupe and found wiring for a sub & amp set up just laying around. I traced the wires and they are all complete and live... If I were to simply connect an amp and subwoofer box to these, would I run into any issues? Not looking to add massive power, maybe just a 10 inch woofer with a 500w amp. I have all factory equipment at this time.

I also capped these live wires off for now because I do not want to short anything out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

The only thing I would look at is quality and gauge of wire. I avoid CCA wire for car use (really any use) but its common to use because of cost. As far as gauge (thickness) here is a chart courtesy of crutchfield.com:



Was any of that what you were asking?

 

It looks to be pretty standard wiring, likely cost effective wire kit. I will have replaced if need be, but connecting a small set up should cause no conflict to factory Bose equipment will it?

 

The power wiring shouldn't. Where the previous owner tapped the signal wiring will be relevant.

 

Post a pic. I can help you sort it out.
