I have two friends that know how to put in amps and did it to their cars but they really dont want to work on a brand new car. Im porbably gunna have one of them help me out.

ok i saw some wire taps on crutchfield.

Posi-Products™ Wire Connector Kit 6 tap connectors for 12- to 18-gauge wires — tap into wires without cutting or stripping at Crutchfield.com

This should be good enough. right? I saw the shop tap into the speaker wires on my altima but they tapped into the rear. Your saying that i tap into the positive and negative for the subwoofer. I never really looked at subwoofer for the bose system i know its in a case in the spare would i have to open it up?

Also i dont understand how to get power to the mtx re-q. I understand it has a yellow 12volt constant and a red 12volt and a ground. The ground i could ground the same place i ground the amp. BUt do i connect the red 12 volt to the power wire coming back to the amp, and if so what do i do with the 12 volt constant?

Is there a specific place everyone uses to ground there wires in the z?
sorry for all the questions. Just really think i could do this but need some input.

thanks
