Hi guys
I've just bought myself a new CD player, a cheapo no frills Wharfedale ICS171 unit with bluetooth and aux-in to replace a geriatric Blaupunkt cassette unit that was in the car when I bought it. I was wondering how to go about wiring up my sub to this stereo and which components I would need and how to wire them
I've never attempted this before so i've read a few guides which tell me slightly different things.
I believe I need the following things
Fused power cable at 30 amps
Ground cable
RCA speaker cables
Line-out Converter (?)
This is my sub, the good old TS-WX20LPA

The back of my stereo has ISO connection and four phono connectors only, and a small white cable that I don't know the use for, here is one image I could find of the stereo:
I got this stereo cheapo with no instruction manual, I know very little about ICE and wiring except from what I can read in howto guides.
How exactly would the line-out converter be wired? Looking at the pics now it looks like I coudl wire it directly from the head unit to the back of the sub using those phono inputs, but I imagine i'd still need the line converter inbetween? also would it make a difference to the sound if I wire it from the L or R phono outputs from the stereo?
Also the stereo doesn't seem to be wired to the ignition in any way, this doesn't bother me too much but if I were to wire up my sub would it drain the battery? in which case how would I go about wiring it up through the ignition?
Any help would be appreciated
