c30 basic stereo amplifier location?
Hi, ive searched extensively but no difinitive answer.
I want to add an underseat sub. This will run of the rear speaker level signal. I would like to tap off the amplifer directly if possible. So, question. Does the basic system (6 speaker) have an external amp, and if so, where is it located? i read it might be behid right rear speaker panel? Secondly, where can I tap a remote signal wire from so the active under seat sub switches on/off with the stereo HU? 2011/12 C30 r design. UK right hand drive cheers Jake |

Hi Jake,
I have also spent time researching this and I have also drawn a blank. Everything I found pointed to adding a RCA line output converter or similar to allow for the addition of an amp. I have bought a Vibe version which includes a remote out to trigger the amp power. Unfortunately I had a little mishap when trying to wire it in as I realised that the wiring diagram was incorrect. I am yet to revisit it but will do so as I really want my amp working..

Yes, wire into the radio loom which is pretty accessible. I agree though re effort. Tbh it took me so long to run the 12v from the battery, when i ran into issues when wiring the unit in, I had to call it quits.
You are right re the factory amp if it exists? I am not so certain that the basic set up has an amp at all? Iirc from taking my standard unit out it only had two wire clusters but no cd changer / amp input. My XC60 unit does have this i think, and that is a basic sound system. It does have nav though so could be why? I will definitely be revisiting the amp over the next few weeks if i get the weather..
