I tried doing my install last night following this how-to and I've had a few hang ups. Ive got power, but no sound.

1. There is 4 harnesses that plug into the factory amp. Starting from the side closest to the front of the car: a small one with 4 wires, a bigger one with about 9 wires, a skinny one with smaller gauge wires that seems irrelevant, and then another big one with about 9 or 10 wires. Which is the correct harness to tap into for the front woofers and factory sub? This is non-ML btw.

2. I used the same Scosche LOC from Wal-Mart thats featured in the how-to. Did you have to mess with any of the gains or adjustments on that?

3. My amp always stays on so obviously I tapped into the wrong power lead for the remote wire. I was assuming it was the orange wire on that first harness with 4 wires but I guess this isn't the case?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I was up till 2:30am last night trying to get this done only to have nothing to show for it. Thanks!

I forgot which one. I can take a look during lunch, but I believe it's the skinnest orange wire closest to the rear.

There was a post somewhere here that said the color of the 4 wires to tap into on the non-ML amp. All 4 wires are on the same harness. If I recall correctly, It was the second one with 9 wires. I could be wrong though.

Today, I will not be home until late. If you want, send me a PM and you can call me tomorrow after 5 and I can take a look for you and tell you what wires I spliced into and which harness.

I spliced the remote wire from a fuse box under the glove box.

Alright I got everything working besides the remote turn on, so if someone can help me with that it would be great.

Run it to the fuse box under the glove box. That's what I did.

Didn't know there was one there, I thought they were all under the hood. Would you happen to know what fuse # its hooked to?

Not right now, but I can easily find out. Just gotta take a look. Call me around 5:20PM and I'll tell you.

if you are using tap-in's for bigger wires say like 12 or 14 gauge, it wont work cause its not really splicing through the wire to tap-in. since the skinny orange wire is so skinny u need a 16 or 18 gauge tap-in

I tried that really really skinny orange one thats with the other skinny wires and the amp kept cutting out so I figured it wasn't the right one.
