Thanks Gav, I’ll add that in.
I may actually use it as a feed to the amp rather than depend on this splitter. It’s a good option.


Riggs has been very quiet on the day shift Conor. I hope there aren’t Norwegian Pirates on the North Sea at this time of year[emoji15]

Hey guys - day shift is fecking busy, and I'm now part of a two man team, not three, constantly having to reconfigure the sub for different tasks while we do the platform inspections..

Steve - sounds like you're getting more out of your XF V2 than you imagined.


Power, looks and (interior) sounds.

Whats next? Exterior sounds mod?

Looking forward to seeing the mods you've done, once
a - I get home
b - we are let outside like grown ups again. ;)

Good to hear from you Allan! No Pirates then? :)

Big internal mod just done, will post up a how to when I get the writeup done, but here's a small picture to set the scene

The next exterior mod is under way....

Just an update to this. Very often you destroy the trim clips when removing the sill tread covers or B-Pillar mouldings.
The spring comes off the clip and is lost into the cavity.

There are replacements available much cheaper than the Jaguar originals from here

www.vehicleclips.co.uk

Trim Panel Clips with Metal Spring, Renault 7703077478

A distinctive interior trim clip with pre-fitted metal spring. These clips are normally used on plastic trim panels such as pillar linings, tailgate linings, sill covers and side skirts.
www.vehicleclips.co.uk www.vehicleclips.co.uk

They are black, but correctly handed. £3.60 for a pack of 10 instead of £9 each from Jaguar...

And finally, I broke out the wallet and signed on to Topix for an hour.
Find below the x260 speaker wiring diagram for base audio - Audio Head Unit located in dash with integrated 4 channel amp and 8 speakers.

Can you please send me the diagram for the 380w Meridian? I need this for a 2017 F-Pace, I think it should be similar.

Quick update having lived with this for a few months.

The placement of the sub in the boot is important due to reflection of the waves.
I initially placed my two 8" sub enclosures behind the back seat facing backward, this didn't really produce any real thump with the doors closed, but I noticed that opening the drivers door increased the bass levels markedly. Obs not ideal to drive along with the door open....

After a lot of experimentation I found that the best place for the boxes was right at the boot opening facing forward, which gave great bass and allowed me to keep the door closed!
It's not particularly practical though.

I've just aquired a 12" single and will have a play with that to see if placing it facing up from the floor is any better.

I've still not got the subs to a satisfactory point and am struggling with them at the boot opening, so I've bought an original Jaguar subwoofer off Ebay, which should be here on Friday.


The sub appears, from the wiring diagram, to have two speakers in it, with four wires. +/- for each speaker. I'm hoping that I can drive both speakers off the outputs of my sub amp instead of the two separate boxed speakers I'm currently running.

The subwoofer fits in the driver side rear wheelarch, behind the splash panel and vents into the boot through the body.
I don't believe there is any wiring in place for it, but may get a look later on.

Right I got both sides done, without losing any of the springs off the clips.
What a ballache they are, I've had to reshape most of them to get them to catch again. The new clips arrived today and are an exact match so I was ok if I didn't get them back together.

I did both sides in the end as Dan is 'giving' me a two channel amp with RCA low level inputs. I'll need to get a speaker level to line level adapter but with both channels it will allow me to drive the two 8" subs he's also 'giving' me!

For future reference, here are the wiring connectors in the B pillar. I'm not sure which is +VE and -VE yet but I get sound out of a 6x9 three way speaker attached to each side (briefly for testing only).

Thanks for the help guys! Appreciated :)

Can you tell me what size (gauge) those wires are? I need to get some splice connectors like the ones you used but they come in many different sizes...

Thanks in advance!

I don’t know, but looking at the wiring diagram above it says 1.0 against each of the speaker wires in the rear door for the base audio without sub.

Is that maybe 1.0 mm CSA?
