1. FIRST U have to find the remote wire that is giving the factory sub the power then splice it into the remote wire on the radio harness(blue wire) i did it to my buddy's range rover:;;;;FLIP,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
2. I think it's unlikely that your stock head unit was powering your sub. Your ride probably has a stock amp somewhere. Have you checked out any Honda forums? 1. Did you disconnect anything from your stock unit and not reconnect it, like a round cable? If so, that round cable is the signal to your sub and you've lost it. 2. If not, make sure you hooked up the amp turn on wire (blue) on the Kenwood to the amp turn on wire on your Honda. I'm assuming you used a wiring harness for this part. 3. If in fact your sub was powered by your stock head unit (i.e. it had an amp channel to power your sub built in), then you will need to add an amp to power it or go without it, because your Kenwood will not run the sub properly. Good luck!
