You should be able to access the sub wires somewhere along the right side of the car. I say this because the sub wires run with the rear brake light wires in a loom across the rear deck to the right side of the vehicle. I can't pinpoint it any better than that because I didn't know which ones were the sub wires until I saw what was plugged into the stock sub and I didn't follow them to see where they go. If you can get to them on the side, I'd say you'll probably still have to remove the rear seat bottom & back, the right door scuff plate trim panel, and the trim panel to the rear of that one to find a convenient access point. This is not hard to do and you'll be removing those anyway to route your amp power. You can try it first with your stock sub in. It may sound ok to you but I thought it sounded better and was louder in the cabin with the stock sub removed. The real work is in removing that rear deck to get to the sub.

has anyone installed a jl audio cleansweep in their car? I heard that the summing device was also needed. If so does it mess up the fader controls? Like if you used the cleansweep calibration and played track two, the one where is says this is the left side and this is the right side.

I installed the 500/1 and 10w7 tonight, it took about 4hrs. I got the remote signal from the stock ML amp and audio signal from the stock sub. The only problem I have right now is the setup is so DAMMNNNNN loud lol. I think I have to downgrade it
