[QUOTE="Merc5, post: 8774977, member: 684400"] Okay so I have everything hooked up. Again, I have a 2001 mercury grand marquis. Stock everything with 2 12" subs rated at 2500 watt rms and an amplifier rated for 2500 watts. I've read that the remote wire on my headunit is usually blue however, I found one article that said it could be blue with a white stripe. Mine does not have a blue, but it does have blue with the white stripe. I connected my remote wire to that blue white and when I started everything up, I had no power to my amp. After some more searching I found that you could wrap the remote wire around one of the prongs on the fuse for the radio so I ran my remote wire to my fuse box and now my amp comes on. Green light, correct operation. Nothing from my subs Since my headunit is stock I had to buy an loc. I got one of the cheaper 2 channel ones from auto zone. My buddy that originally helped me with this wired that loc in the trunk off of the rear speaker wires. I stripped some insulation off of one of those speaker wires and touched the speaker wire I have coming from my subs to it and my subs work. So I assume it has something to do at the point of that converter. Looking at the wiring instructions for that loc, when detailing the labels on the loc itself it tells you that the wires are for front left neg, another is front left positive and same for the front right. And it also says this is usually done at the headunit. Like I said, he wired it in the trunk off of the rear speaker wires. When I tested the sub for sound the insulation was stripped and touched before the LOC. Am I correct in assuming the wiring done from the rear apeakers to the loc is wrong? Should I cut those wires and instead take it to the front and.match the wires to the wires in the headunit? Does that matter? Thanks. In.my original post there are pictures of the LOC and where it is connected [/QUOTE]
