UAZ Patriot is a Russian off-road vehicle designed for operation on roads of all categories, as well as in rural areas. If you strengthen its radio tape recorder with a powerful subwoofer installation, then the car will be just a beast.
Loud and clear sound in the cabin of your beloved car is by no means a whim, but for some it is a necessity. Many car enthusiasts spend a lot of time behind the wheel. And when the car is equipped with a high-quality audio system, this is a huge plus. It will not be difficult to independently connect the subwoofer to the head unit installed by the manufacturer. You just need to have a desire, a screwdriver and pliers. So here we go.
Preparing to equip a car with a subwoofer
Like any modern car, the UAZ Patriot is equipped with a standard car radio. For some parameters and functions, the "native" radio tape recorder does not suit car owners. There may be various reasons. One of them is the sound quality and volume. Therefore, some car enthusiasts amplify the standard car radio with a subwoofer installation.
You can equip "Patrick" with any subwoofer speaker. For example, you can connect such a speaker as "PioneerTS-W309" to its radio tape recorder. Also the “Fusion FP-802” amplifier and a set of wires for connecting the “Mystery” amplifier. A little about the dynamics itself. Its maximum power is 1000 W, the nominal input signal power is 300 W, the impedance is 4 Ohm, the frequency response is 20-450 Hz, the lowest resonance frequency is 30 Hz, the sensitivity is 95 dB. You will also need an adapter cord for the "mini ISO 6-pin - 4 x RCA" radio tape recorders. And it would be better if it is exactly the Hama H-43659 adapter. These adapters are considered the highest quality in their segment. If such a model cannot be purchased, then it can be replaced with any other.
Equipping "UAZ Patriot" with a subwoofer
First you need to figure out where and how all this "good" will be located. The box can safely settle in the trunk. The cable fits perfectly on the port side in a small groove between the standard "Shumka" and the body. The line cord and the control wire can be pulled through the tunnel, then its "carpet" path will follow under the feet of the rear passengers and come out on the left side of the rear passenger seat. Then you should remove the center console and install the adapter wire. After that, you can configure the radio itself. To adapt it to a subwoofer, you need to connect the line outputs to the rear channels. In the settings, it is important to set the low frequencies to zero, and raise the high frequencies a little. It is also required to carefully secure the box, otherwise it, like a frog, will jump around the interior of the car.
If after all these simple manipulations with the radio tape recorder and amplifier something goes wrong, then you can contact the specialists. But, in principle, there is nothing difficult in connecting a subwoofer installation to a UAZ Patriot car. The sound quality will be definitely different. It may not be perfect, but its volume and clarity will increase many times over.
