Hi, i have searched for amplifier installations but cant find much except upgrading the current amp etc, i want to add a class D amp for a sub in the boot, i found one post stating the battery and an aux accesory is in the boot but i am not too great with electrics eventhough i know how to wire a sub and amp, could some one please tell me how to connect the aux accesory to the remote turn on wire and where would i get the RCA signal from? Not 2sure what u guys in america call it but the white and red cables that send the music signal to the amp where can i connect this to? Thanks for your help in advance.

Your gonna have to tap into the factory amp wiring in order to get your RCA signal, as there are no RCA cables running from the head unit.
