451 smart fortwo

My car is a passion coupe turbo 2009. I'm planning to install a subwoofer, and have gone through the forums but haven't found much info. It comes with the radio 9, with aux port. I already installed Sirius radio, placing the antenna under the hood and the radio inside the glove compartment, and using an additional hidden lighter socket, under the dashboard connected to the stock lighter to give it power. During the installation process I found a cable that seems to be the connection for a subwoofer, under tha dashoboard on the passenger's side. Has anyone connected a subwoofer here? I looked for a pre-wired installation under the passenger seat but found nothing. I probably will need a power amp as well.
BTW, my car has no PRND setup but instead just a R N wit an AUTO button on the side. I guess this configuration applies for my country.

John at smart/mercedes of Tampa Florida installed this self contained sub/amp behind his passsager seat in his 451. Lots of bass in a very small package.

Hi i know its been over a year since the last post on this tread but I felt I needed to update things about this subject I have a March 2010 UK spec LHD 451 passion coupe, this latest model was released here start of 2010 and there have been some changes there now is no spare space under the dashboard passenger side for anything let-a-lone a subwoofer enclosure they have filled it with fuse boards wireing harnesses and maybe air-con units which come standard on the passion model, if you have a 2010 brabus fortwo the sub woofer in built into the passenger floor carpet where the polystyrene battery cover was, the 2010 edition of the 451 now has a pioneer AVIC-F310BT head unit which has sat-nav,bluetooth phone kit,cd player and radio built in with a usb socket in the glove box which does have a door.
