To keep it from moving , glue it LOL I dunno on that, one of the first things on my car to go bye bye...

To wire a sub and amp in, just remove the rear storage compartment, find the amp that goes to the rear, I thinks its the one on the right? Get a HI/LOW speaker level to RCA adapter, set it at 500mv. Boom theres your RCA's and remote on wire right there. Ground the amp, run a power wire to the battery (w/fuse within 6 inches of battery) and mount your sub in the box and run wires to it.

When wiring the high to low adapter besure to make polarity right. Or else you have no BASS

I am not sure...But I believe you could bypass it alltogether. Basically unplug it and plug the two remaining to each other.

I am not sure though..It might start with a 6 pin and convert to an 8 pin..

Arrghh... Sorry. I am Blanking out.

BYE THE WAY...
Anybody know where I could find a FEMALE 6-Pin Din Plug do I can mount an aftermarket unit into the factpry harness (temporarily)? I already checked radio shack. They only have 5 and 8 Din Plugs.
