Talking Amp Remote and Speaker Wire setup

Ok, You guys I finally finished my amp setup.

2008 IS350 NON-ML System

And this is how you do it!

Third Connector
TAP Brown and Green Wire
TAP Sky Blue and Pink wire

These wire are for the rear subwoofer
The way I found these wires was through this awesome device

The Remote wire....Look at the pic above its the 3rd socket Left to right people =0)
last red wire is the 12V wire that basically on and off.

Connected the A1, A2 with the+ Brown and Green
A3, A4 +Skyblue, Pink-

Then connect your Audio cords on the bottom left of the SCHOOSE or whatever its called to the amp and the remote wire to the amp.

First impressions...
Sealed Box
I am using a Rockford 700RMS AMP to power a 10'' W6 JL SUB
This is what I was exactly looking for . The sub does not over power the cabin highs and mids
give a little thump hard core to let you know its there but not that crazyness for 4 subs lol....
I Love it quite happy. You can see in the picture theres a capacitor I also installed had laying around in the garage put it to some good use lol 1.5 rating.

anyway let me know what you think hugs =0)

looks good! did u remove the factory sub? how does the bass enter the cabin? because that box blocks the ski hole. good job. i cut all the metal out from behind the seat and removed the factory sub, although i did this because i want that crazy insane bass! im hitting 142.00 db with 2 orion hcca 10" check it out.

yes those are colors for non-ml.

you can also use the drive side footwell fuse box and a fuse tap to create a remote wire for your amp.

I Used the RED wire on the 3 connector on the Factory Amp for my remote wire
If you look down at it go from left to right 3rd connector with the only big bright red wire...just tap into that
its the 12V source on and off for your amp
