I assume the BCM #6 Amp fuse is a circuit for the premium Panasonic subwoofer amp if it was present. It is not in my car. My test light indicates this is hot all the time; it has a 20 amp fuse in it. I'm planning to use this to power my underseat subwoofer (Kenwood KSC-SW11). It only draws 7.5 or less amps and the directions say to connect to the fuse block instead of directly to the battery.

Am I correct that #6 is for the amp?

Yes the foot well fuse box #6 , is the 20 amp fuse for the amp

Thanks, Oldblue, I just wanted to be sure.

Oldblue

Rest assured.

It will be a red/white wire coming out of the BCM,connector C3, position D11

Thanks, don. I'm using something I came across called a fuse tap to make it easier. Here's a pic. In my case I don't think I need a fuse in the bottom slot since there is no "factory" amp. Also, according to the article (link below), both fuses do not have to be the same as each other.



An explanation here for using the two sockets.

I installed the Kenwood KSC-SW11 a few weeks ago and it's working perfectly and filling in the sound greatly for my Infinity REF6500cx components. I used the BCM #6 fuse (always hot) along with a fuse tap for power and BCM #21 (if I recall correctly) to turn it on since that one is switched. The "power antenna" wire from my aftermarket HU was tied into the Metra Interface stuff, so I didn't feel like tapping into that. Thanks to everyone for their help in both threads.

Great to hear! Enjoy the music and Crank It Up!

Thanks, Oldblue. The sub really makes it come alive.
