[QUOTE="ThisNameIsTaken, post: 8335668, member: 663991"] Alright guys, here's the deal. Got a 2000 Suburban recently. Guy I got it from saved me some hassle and wired up my battery and my ground for my amp under my carpet all nice and clean. My amp is going to be under my second row seat and my subs behind the third row. He also gave me a LOC as I'm not intending on changing the HU any time soon. (Sadly the one in my old car had just died or I'd have used it) He said I could wire the LOC in pretty much right behind the driver seat. I have pulled all the trim and everything and located the wires he's talking about using. The only problem is they're jumbled in with the wires for the controls on the door and wrapped tight. They also seem to share colors possibly so I'm uneasy about messing with them. I've done quite a few stereo hook ups but always with aftermarket equipment. In theory I understand how the whole LOC thing works. Just a couple of things that I'm wondering about. 1. Can I hook the LOC inline with the stock sub rather than door speakers as my only intentions are to get my subs up and running? 1.5 If not, does anyone have experience with the same vehicle that could possibly tell me the best place to wire it in? 2. I'm not 100% positive but it doesn't look like there's any kind of remote line to feed into my amp. Best way to remedy this? I've though up using a jumper with a switch by my seat so I can manually turn the amp off. Also, it does have a factory amp from what I've read if that makes a difference. Also, I'd like to avoid wiring the LOC directly behind the HU as there's not much room and running the RCAs back is going to be a pain. I have and can take pics if required.
