I have got my sub completely installed, except I cannot find an ignition power source to start my amp. I have searched extensively and cannot find a definitive answer as to which wire to tap. I tried the orange and both the pinks on the connector closest to the back of the car (according to this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-pictures.html), and the amp will not turn on. If I tap a hot source, the amp works, so I know that this is the issue.

Help!!

Never mind, I found it. It is the orange wire on the connector that is second from the back of the car. Seems to be working now.

No, I wasn't that smart. I'll open it up and take a few pics tomorrow.

Here you go.

I ran the power from the battery according to this post:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-pictures.html

Then, there are 4 plugs on the amp--we will number them 1 to 4 with 1 being the plug closest to the tail lights and 4 being closest to the headlights.

The ignition power lead is on plug 2 and is orange:



The speaker leads are on plug 3 and are brown (Left +), lime green (Left -), pink(Right +), and light blue (Right -):



My amp has line level inputs, so I did not install a LOC.

Hope that helps someone in the future.
