mxmedina: not to be a dick because it is obvious that you're proud of your setup but come on. Everyone has seen your setup already. Over and over again. Just go pick a thread and the pictures are there. It isn't even a custom install either. If you like it then that is all that counts but you don't need to show us everyday in 30 different threads. That wasn't his question anyways. It isn't has anyone installed subs. The question is how to hook up subs to the factory stereo.
SiCkRx-8: the answer is that you obviously need to run a power wire from the battery to the amp. Do not run the wire through the door channel from the fender. Take the time to figure out where to run the wire through the firewall inside the vehicle. You need a good ground wire so pick a good spot on the metal near the amp and ground it there. An existing bolt may be just fine. You will need a line level converter tapped into the signal wires to the factory amp. This is easy as there is a factory amp under the rear deck in the trunk. For the remote turn on wire find 12V switched somewhere. A wiring schematic may be very helpful. Mr. Wigggles on the forum has posted a wiring schematic somewhere on here so do a search under his name and start looking. It is actually straight forward.
