DONE!

I installed my fully loaded sub box with your DIY guide. Thank you so much dude!



I got the 11PECVR12 + 8 gauge wire kit from KICKER, which has the amp and subwoofer inside one box. Pretty slick box.

I ran the +12V on the passenger side, the remote wire + audio wires along the center console on the passenger side, and the bass controller wire along the center console on the driver side. Sounds amazing! I installed the bass remote next to my right knee to hide it next to the driver seat for a cleaner and more inconspicuous look.

The toughest part, I thought, was running the +12V wire through that dang grommet!!! GRRRRRRrrrr. Took forever to get it through cleanly. It was SOOO dang tight that I had to pry it with a screwdriver and 30mins. I even pulled it out completely! I didn't get the T-wire splitter though. I just opened up the remote brown wire and attached the remote wire for the sub and closed it up with electrical tape. Everything else was cake, even for my first time doing it. Works like a charm. There are no wires showing at all, except inside the trunk, which rarely gets opened.

You can tuck the power +12V wire behind the molding in the rear and then under the rear passenger seat for a cleaner look. You wouldn't have the wire sticking out a bit as it goes under the rear seat. The video below includes how to remove the rear seat, and just about everything else.
