actually I have an old school Punch 40ix in mint condition that I'd like to put to use to put a little thump in the cargo area and something that will still accommodate the 3rd row and can be pulled out quickly when I need all the cargo area.
I used to have a couple of 10in 8ohms ( C10-8's) in a box that got lifted years ago and just haven't pursued it.

very good write up great pics... when I use that pink ignition signal wire I always like to use a relay, especially since the whole car runs on low voltage system I dont want to even take the chance with that very delicate BCM, just a thought though, it wouldnt hurt since you have both 12v constant and ground there also.

....I just noticed also that you connected the amp turn-on wire backwards! haha....the arrows indicate that current flow is supposed to go the other way!
haha
and if you believe that I have some property in Florida for sale!

a copper wire, is a copper wire, is a copper wire......no matter how you braide\twist\knot it up......These companies that claim that there copper wire is directional are all on drugs......unless they hide diodes inline with the wire

the electrons don't care your right...its the detail of the details, I'm a stickler for those things.
I like to solder, heat shrink and even color code the heat shrink and connectors, I use wire loom when I can. Dose it make the equipment perform any better...no but shows a level of detail awareness.
socaliguy81, we're not knocking you, you did a great job and write up but now we have something to gig you about...

That's a good point, I always keep and put away what I take out, when I pulled the amp I had, I left the power and turn on wire in place. In retrospect that 8 gauge wire would be nice to have at the price of copper now...

Hope I am not getting too off topic but I have installed a center console in my 07 LS and it had an amp at the rear of the console (inside) and rear radio controls but seeing as how my 07 LS had a bench there was no wiring to conect the radio to the amp and make the rear controls function.Is there any way,such as a harness,so I can get the amp and/or rear controls to operate?
The center console has one side of the large,and small,conector that is shown in the first posts picture.
Thanks
