Okay guys, I have looked at all of the write-ups and almost got what I need but want to make sure. I bought an Alpine Mono amp to power my kicker L5. I know that I can tap into the blue/red wire for the remote and use the others to connect my Line Converter thing... (I am a noob when it cmoes to this) Here are a few questions?

1. Which line-in is positive?
2. Which line in is negative? (since my colors did not exactly match the ones on the other posts.
3. Where did you guys find a hole in the firewall to run a 4g wire?
4. How does that clip for the Bose Sub come off. I tried and it would not budge? (Almost came close to breaking it) :swearin:
5. Where is the best way to mount the amp?

I know this might have been discussed already, but it will help if someone could just answer these questions real quick for me. I would apprecaite it. If someone lives in the S. FLA, Fort Lauderdale area, let me know if you can give a fellow speed6 owner a hand so I do not abuse my baby. Any suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated!!! Please don't bash me if it has been discussed cuase I know a few topics have been.

I will check for you this afternoon on colors. I am running the bose sub and my kicker. Are you intending on leaving the bose sub hooked up as well? I just tapped the line converter into the black housing that connects to the bottom of the sub, it simply unbolts off of the sub. If you unscrew that, the harness is easy to unplug. For the amp wiring, I actually drilled a new hole into the firewall right next to the cluster of wires that already pass through it. It was way too much work to squeeze anything else through there. Jsut make sure you use a grommet. Right now, I have my amp sitting on the floor in the trunk. I have all the wiring running behind the plastic cover. I just have some velcro on the bottom of th amp to try to limit sliding. I am going to build an amp rack sometime this spring to mount on the back of the seat and clean up the floor.

I would like to keep my Bose Sub working, if possible. Although I do not think it will be neccessary since I will have a bigger sub in there anyway. But pics would be great or tell me exactly where to take off that stupid thing. It was night time when I went out there to look so that might have had something to do with it. I will await ur response. Very much appreciated
