Default Help with Amp install on C6Z06
I'm installing a JL Audio 250X1 with a JL sub and stealth enclosure. I need a line out to the low level RCA converter. I tried the rear speakers but the sound was very low. I thought about the amp in the footwell but I don't have a diagram of the wires. I was thinking about tapping off the subs in the doors. Any ideas?

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if that pciture was a Bose Pin setup. I'm looking at that pic and this other thread which seem to contradict each other. Is that pic all low level inputs? Here's the other thread.

the other post talks about the low level inputs to the amp being taped together. Thats what they are on the stock c6 as well so just follow that wiring scenerio and you are good to go

Got it but have a problem. I used the 8 pin connector's wires which worked great, until I drove the car then no sound. Maybe something came loose. We'll see. But it sound great.

One of the fuses. can't remember which one. The amp is on there's just no sound so I assume there's just no signal.
