[QUOTE="guarj17, post: 7436668, member: 635446"] I have a 2003 Maxima. I am trying to wire up a MTX Thunder 500w amp to 2 Kicker 12 inch subs and my stock head unit. Also, I have a Bose stock sound system. I ran the power wire from the battery to the amp and grounded the ground wire. Because it is the stock head unit, I needed to splice into the speakers with a LOC. I did this through the stock amp and sub. I hooked the 2 positives from the LOC to the positive running from the stock amp to stock sub and did the same for the negatives. The stock amp and sub are running fine along with the speakers but the sub sounds less powerfull which I think tells me it is because it is powering the LOC? I hooked up the power and ground from the LOC to the MTX amp. I hooked up the remote wire from the LOC to the remote wire going to the stock sub. I have the RCAs going from the LOC to the amp. As of right now, I know the power line is in fact getting power from testing it but the MTX amp light is not lighting up. The LOC has a light on it that is lit but I think that is getting it from the + cables hooked up to the stock sub. I am not really to sure about much that im saying which is what landed me here asking the pro's. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] I would really appreciate any help anyone has to offer. [/QUOTE]
