I suggest you get yourself a MTX Re-q if gets wired in right before your headunit and you just plug the two wires needed for a subwoofer. You can get the Re-q from amazon. I put the regular Re-q in my friends 2010 mazda 3 it works out amazing. with his stock headunit.

That is awesome. I believe you are the first to post the wire colors for our year. Thanks! Now I can double check all the polarities when I wired in my LOC.

But, on the subject of the remote wire... I believe because it uses a digital signal you can't use it as the amp remote wire. I haven't tried it, but I know a lot of members have mentioned in previous posts that you cannot use it. I , just like a lot of other members, wired in a switch and used a mini add-a-fuse.

I found a switch 12v to use Im not putting another switch in my car

So where are you guys hooking up the remote wire?

This

My only question is what spot on the under side drivers side fuse panel did u add the add-a-fuse to? dont you just plug it into an existing fuse?

Yup. I honestly forget which one I used though, sorry.
