Default Subwoofer installation

Hello,
I've just bought a used 2005 XKR, and looking at the audio equipment I have discovered that there is any subwoofer in the rear shelf, there is only a pad that covers the hole. (but I thought that there were a subwoofer because the bass is very good...)

I'm thinking to install a subwoofer following some recommendations in several posts, but, does anyone know if there is a wiring pre-installation in the car ?

Thanks

Paco

Yes, the pr wiring is there, but it is not connected to anything.
You can opt for going for the oem woofer from jaguar which is only 180 euros and will be a direct fit.
You still need to connect an amp

Then the connector is in the boot near the subwoofer area and ready to connect the amp?
And is this wire connected in the other end to the main unit in the pre-amp signal output ?

Yes the subwoofer wire and connector is already next to the hole under the shelf. This cable runs towards the multi connector underneath the armrest, but that is it.
Better to run new cables

There is no pre out but you can connect an aftrmarket amp to thespeaker outputs of the radio. Put 3 ohm resistors in series and a6 ohm resistor in parallel to get the voltage down to suit the line input.
