You'll need your audio signal (usually a left and right RCA cable) blue 12v remote turn on. Earth and power. And as you say HU setting on to match. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Its the OEM Alpine sub so its just a connector - the idea was to make things easy ha ha

You need a Sub/Amp wiring kit. If there is nothing from the Head Unit to the sub/amp then nothing will make noise. As Steve says, on the rear of the Head Unit will be Pre out sockets for a Sub, the leads plug into this and go to the amplifier. Then you need to wire the amplifier to the sub.
And then, before any of it will work there's a BLUE wire on the Head Unit Iso socket (marked P Cont), this needs to be wired to the Amplier to switch it all on. Hope that makes it clearer |

Oh, and the Amplifier needs its own Power source that needs to be separately fused.

On 2013 MY there's a connector under the cubby that's connects to the wire that comes from the OEM sub.
Hence the idea of plug and play. Seems no play only plug. Doing it the old fashioned way l/r power earth remote on was what I was trying to avoid hence buying the OEM part. Just wondered if anyone had bought without or not been able to spec then retro fitted the OEM sub? Maybe it's something really simple! (Hopefully, hence why a checked the fuses hoping to see it missing unfortunately not) |

Test the existing LR socket that your connecting into to check that it has power. Worth checking the earth too.

Yep, looks like your going to have to fault find.
 That's if like you say simply something isn't connected. LR do tend to leave wiring looms hidden and un-connected often or not. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

I did this a couple of weeks ago and there is a thread in this section about it somewhere. In my case there were no wires under the cubby box and I had to feed some from the head unit. removing the whole centre dash gives easy access, it's only 2 screws. As mentioned elsewhere, the poser on wire was blue out of the head unit, there was a wiring list, colours and function, on a sticker on the top of the head unit for the avoidance of doubt.
I put the woofer on the back of the cubby box and the Alpine woofer amp in the battery compartment. The woofer comes with all the wires you need (ad more) except the two RCA sound wires from the head unit. Hope that helps. Cheers, John 2.2 90 XS 88" Series One Old Norton

I removed my cubby box today on my MY13 110 and there was no connector obviously visible. Does this mean I have to run cables from the HU to the cubby box area? If so I need to run a pair of RCAs and a remote cable?

You got it in one Hifonics.
By the way there was a spelling mistake in my post above..."the poser on...." should have read "the power on" which is the cable you have to run from the Head unit back to the woofer unit along with the two RCA cables. The RCA twin cable I bought also had a power on cable built into the sheath. Good luck. John. 2.2 90 XS 88" Series One Old Norton

Exactly what John say's above. Ideally if you can get "screened" RCA cables if at all possible. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
