Subwoofer install
Hello, just got my NX350h 2 days ago and am really disappointed in the bass from the pioneer system. Curious if anyone has access to wiring harness info or if anyone installed an amp in theirs? I'm not looking for anything huge, just some low end response.

If it’s at all like the current ES there’s active noise cancellation you’ll have to bypass on the subwoofer channel. There’s a couple approaches to this.

Interesting, so there’s no hum feedback noise from your sub now? Maybe the UX doesn’t have the active noise cancelling feature.

"I was able to figure this out. There's a subwoofer in the back next to the battery that's really easy to get to. Tapping the leads with a metra harness for older Toyota. Everything seemed to go fine."
Curious how you ended up solving - what sub setup did you install? Any pics?
Thanks!

This adapter fits the subwoofer line perfect. Used it to get to a LOC and wired the amp to the battery bank there. Wasn't as bad as I expected.

Thanks for posting this. I'm trying the same thing! A few questions:
1) In my car I see a white/green and white/black wire going into a connector, and on the other side of that connector are a red and white wire going to the original sub. I think in your one photo you're showing that you undid that connector, then used the Metra wiring harness to connect to the white/green and white/black? This may be stupid, but since this is a sub (only one speaker) do I assume when I get my new sub I'm only running into either the R or L inputs? (I'm only going to use one of the pair of harnesses I get)?
2) Crutchfield seems to think that the powered sub I'm getting can use the speaker signal to sense (turn on and off), but on another board, and in your photo, it looks like you're using the 12V "cigarette lighter" there to power the sense? (or are you using that to power your sub itself)? What item do you have plugged into the 12V? (store, part number)? On the other board, with the sub I'm getting, the other dude powered the sub off the screw terminals on the top of the car battery there, which it looks like you didn't do.
Thanks for any help!
