ok guys i just picked up my new 2006 LT and i wanna run my amp wires but im lost in where to conect the remote wire. my deck is stock and i dont have the SB1 package so i dont have an exsiting hookup. can some one tell me how you think i can run the remote wire?

and one more question sice i really wanna do this right. i see alot of you useing the sport where the sub "can" go mine doesnt have a grill on it and it looks sealed is it able to just pop off if i wanna put one of my subs there?

you will probably need to get a stock sub frame. if you have the solid cover there's nothing behind that except plastic. I took mine out and had to drill the tabs off the cover to open it up.

Hey Jiggz, there is a pink wire coming off the back of one of your stock HU plugs. This is the "remote turn-on" wire (it can also be used to power an electric antenna). Tap into that wire and run it to your external amp's remote turn on connection and you're golden. I ran mine (remote wire), down the driver side under the sill plates, under the rear seat, and into the tray above the spare tire where I mounted my sub amp. Works a charm.

Hope it helps,

thanks guys you all rock.

if for some reason, this happened to one person, and the car doesnt start after hitting the pink wire use this see post #31 for a remote or switched source
