Have you looked in the trunk😂 lol I want to do the same no worries.
Just find the amp in the car and tap the high level outputs for the sub amp. Most aftermarket amps can take this high level input. Trunk is the best spot for a sub. I am sure you can set for auto on and the subs shouldn’t drain the battery. If anything the car shuts off if you aren’t in the seat. Your 12V should be fine.
If you want to be ambitious, build a fibreglass box for the under trunk cover for a more oem look.

im conserned that if you put it under the trunk it will make the cover over it attle a lot more than if you put it at the right side.
I’m interested in installing a JBL 8” slim subwoofer that I have on my i3. I tapped into the amp for power and signal and it works great, I will want to swap it to the polestar once I take delivery. Keep us posted if you got it to work please.
I thought the polestar subs are in the dash?

In basic audio 1 sub is in dash/frunk , in Harman kardon you have 2 of them , one in trunk and one in dash/trunk

You might want to consider tapping into the signal for the front center speaker so that you can control the low pass filtering on your amp. Otherwise you will have to live with the signal processing being supplied to the HK air woofer.

Makes sense. I think it would be optimal to position the amp in close proximity to the stock amp (which would be in the front passenger boot to my knowledge).

Just installed the JBL Slim 8 and it was pretty easy, tapped power from the 12V cig lighter on lefthand rear boot, tapped remote (light blue) from the taillight just above that, I used the ground on the right boot and tapped the high level inputs right from the amp harness (rh boot). The speaker wires for rear speakers are purple/yellow and in the RH plug you can just tap those pairs to the high level input on the slim8.

Looks cleaner now with some heat resistance foam to elevate the amp. Will install led lamps to create a bit of a glow/floating amp look.

How does it sound? All I want is extra bass so I might do this.

Sounds great, I'm too old to be putting in 12s anymore so this is just right to feel the bass.
I'd be interested in this as well. Did you have a HK system in your car? Did you disable the rear air woofer in that case (where is it located exactly, somewhere under the rear seat?). I wonder would tapping to the woofer signal make more sense, as there might be a lot of filtering done to the rear speakers....(high pass filter)
