[QUOTE="idrackert, post: 8670581, member: 676691"] Hello, Thank you for the response. The amplifier that I have does have the built in sensor to turn the amp on using the high input connection. I'm very glad for this and it is the sole reason I am not interested in replacing my stock head unit. If I had to find a remote 12v for the amp sensor to work then I might as well go aftermarket head unit and use low input RCA connections and the provided remote wire connection. As you stated, my stock system sounds decent as is. I just want to add a little more bass. [U][I]My question though is, do I need to run wires from all the speakers to the amp high input connection if I'm only using a mono amp to drive one sub?[/I] [/U] I really don't want to 9 wire (or whatever you call it) all the speakers if I don't have to. Ideally I'd like to just tap into one rear speaker to get the signal necessary to run the sub. This is ideal for me because my battery is in the trunk. This means that power, ground, and speaker wire can be really short and direct. I'd hate to have to run a 9 wire all the way up to the stock head unit, I'd prefer to just use the rear speaker(s) keeping everything nice and tight and short runs. [/QUOTE]
