Default C6: quick wireing ? for you smart guys

I'm planning a single 10 subwoofer install on my 05 vert with nav.

I've been reading through all the c6 Faq, and its been very helpful.

I've run into one simple problem that will be a quick answer for you guys.

I plan to just splice into the wires on the rear of the stereo (im not scared) and plug in the femail RCA wires to send the signal to my amp.
according to the picture at this link , http://www.lazyassgeek.com/c6-stereo...-unit-harness/ ,
Do i want to use the front's or the rears to send the best bass signal to my amp?

thank you . and let me know if you need me to clearify more

ALSO, are these wires the SAME colors for the same signal (+ or -) as they were on the c5 harness?

The signal is the same front & rear unless you've applied fader at the head unit so you can use whichever you like. Common practice is to use the rear channels and that's what I would do.

That's my site you posted the link to and the wire colors are listed there. I have no idea whether they're the same as C5 or not....

You need to tap into the white wire at pin B3 of the big gray C1 plug for the TRIGGER

All of the C6 radio schematics and plug pin-outs are available here also.
