Awesome. I'll grab that and a set of rca's. Has anyone ran the rca's yet. I'm wondering what the best path is to get them to the rear.

I haven't done it in my HHR seeing as how I have the premium system and can tap the wires from the back but under your rug or along the the side under the plastic panels are the usual locations.

That's where i did it in my old cavalier. Didn't know if there was a place already for it (like a track in the metal or something)since the premium system is an option.

Solarbarics? If you tap and add an amp powerful enough to drive them. I wouldn't try and run them on the stock amp, If you try driving 2 subs that powerful on the factory amp your just asking to damage the speakers.

I tapped into the converter right behind the radio and ran the RCAs down the driver side.The molding has lots of room underneath.

is a 17" rca cable long enough to get from the radio to the rear with a little to spare?

This right?
