I'm looking to work out how to connect this car subwoofer to my mains. It's 12v, view picture attached. Thanks!

Solution
Finding a jack that exactly fits that might be tricky unless you already have it.
I'd be tempted to remove that whole cover and see how many wires are connected to it
(hopefully only two for + and - 12 volts.
What you would need is an adapter/transformer that takes your household AC voltage
and converts it to 12 volts DC. Because that sub claims 400 watts, you would need
a transformer capable of at least 20 Amps. Then it's just a question of joining the
+ and - leads of the adapter to the + and - wires of the sub.

External bass controls (EBC), or remote bass controls (RBC), are a convenient and easy to install accessory that allows you to tune the bass in your music song by song. For example, if you listen to a wide variety of music, you may want more bass when listening to Rap or Hip Hop and less bass when listening to Country or Heavy Metal. An external bass controller (EBC) will allow you to adjust the bass level without having to pull over and adjust the gain setting on the amplifier.

Thanks for clearing that up! Just seemed like an odd connector to use.
