RE: Amp hookup
75x man is ign on works wonders, so you can run the subs or not makes it nice if you want it to run forever and not drain the batt

RE: Amp hookup
i actually think the best part is taking our the stock stereo, and trying to put in an indash. Talk about fun, not user freindly, even afyter working in car audio for 3 years, but if you running 12-4 gauge, you should be able to go through a hole around the ecu, but if you running anything bigger than that like 2,1,0, than your going to have to drill a hole in the bottom, and run it under your car, then in and to the trunk. But for you to do it right, without cutting a hole and through the ecu, it should take you about an hour and a half, with hookup.

Well, since my current sub is only 80 watts (shitty) i ran it to m front passengers seat
and then wired the poiwersupply into the lumbar support. then i spliced into the rear speakers and put that into the higl-level imput on the amp. BAAM! instand sub. if oyu can call an 80w one a sub. but whatever. it works for now.

RE: Amp hookup
Itll run like that. until i get a real sub. but that works fine for now. the current sub is crapy enough that a high level imput from the speakers works just fine. and the wires fro the seat have a 10 amp fuze on em, and the wire that the sub comes with has a 10 amp fuse on it as well, so it works perfectlky.
