​Im 18, i worked weekends a few years back to save up for a car and insurance. But due to my A levels i dont have time to work atm, so c1 will have to do. Also all im doing is changing the speakers and adding some bass.

I'm just pulling ya chain. Your money. Your car. Your life. Enjoy the earth shaking sub.

Has the C1 got boot space for a sub? and if your insurance find out that's it's been modified from standard you'll be screwed.
other than that don't spend your money on crap get a speed camera detector instead...yes really.

My mate had a 107 lowered alloys induction kit the works looked and sounded hilarious. Solid see motors for first car tho. Toyota engine

I'm assuming you have a black box fitted then with being 18 ?
like said your insurance may be void if you fit it and you've told them no modifications.
i had a bit of trouble from Ingenie when they were firing my daughter's black box on her 107 saying the alloys were a modification , but they were factory fitted.
luckily I got a email confirmation from peugeot to show them.

As suggested, you're probably better off looking on youtube for how to wire it up.

To get the best out of your sub I would recommend reading the manual and seeing what gauge wire is suitable for it, don't assume that a wiring kit rated for 'watts' will up to the job as these specs are usually vastly over-rated, the vendors can't lie about the gauge of wire though, and that's what matters.
If you can afford it, don't use CCA (copper clad aluminium) as it's not as good as pure copper, spend a little more, it's worth it, remember that the ground lead needs to be the same gauge as the positive supply.

Don't get too hung up on the quality of the RCA leads for a lower end sub, £10 should be plenty to get a decent enough RCA cable.

Run the RCA cables on one side of the car and the power lead on the other.

Don't blast your bass around built up areas, it annoys people, but also attracts attention to the fact you've got a decent sound system which could end up with it getting stolen.

Do tell your insurance!

I'm a bit older, so it's a long time since I've done any of this, but I feel sorry for the younger generation when it comes to cars and car modifying, so many restrictions to what they can do (rightly or wrongly) all that's really left is getting a decent sound system and maybe some wheels before insurance costs sky rocket, so don't be too hard on them.

Long gone are the days of shoe horning Rover V8's into an old banger.

Thanks for the replies, i do have a black box fitted but it was a self fit one that just pops into the obd port. So they havent seen my car. Im going to ask my insurance about adding a subwoofer just incase. Also the speakers i changed yesterday have made a big difference so i might not get a sub.

Insurance company said installing a subwoofer isn't classed as a modification but is covered under audio equipment. So I can install it no problem.

First you get a baseball cap, wear it backwards, recline your seat right back, fit a big fat exhaust to make a broom broom noise, then you fit the sub woofer.
Police love all of this....and will soon want to make friends.

If yo don't tell your insurance company then in the event of an accident you won't be covered, they will deem it null and void as what you insured wasn't the same.

Personally I wouldn't. The dash speakers aren't big enough to give a decent amount of midrange. You would be better off strethening the parcel self with some MDF (making a box section with a quick disconnect and you could add some led lights as well, all painted black) and adding a pair of 6x9's. Will give you an overall more rounded sound.
