Why can't anyone fit my sub?

readytosnap

I cant find anyone to fit my vibe sub to a vw up 2014, I can get it fitted in the UK for £110, sounds expensive but I am heading over there shortly anyway, but I cannot uinderstand why it cannot be done here, is it just too much hassle and not worth peoples time?
I've been told by a couple of locals that it cannot be fitted to that type of car because of the standard fitted radio wont have pre outs, but I had a sub fitted before in a bmw years ago and they used some other sort of connection ( crossover?) I like some bass I may have to change the car at this rate!!!!

Not seeing the outputs for a low level line out.


May need something like this to get amp outputs.

At that price id replace the head unit.

Would be easy with an aftermarket head unit

It can be fitted by using a high to low level converter. Don't know who you are asking but they clearly are not clued up.

Where abouts are you ?

I'm in the midlands, the high to low you refer too I have had that done before in a previous car, I am not sure its a case of it cannot be done, more a case of not worth while to do. Anyway I have had to go down the route of after market unit with pre outs I have ordered the facia panel ( €48 ) then it will take the after market unit and everything will be hunky dory.

A good quality converter can be got for about €20.00-€25.00 so not expensive. Your Vibe amp/sub might even have direct high level inputs on it, did you check .
