C5 Amp. wiring questions
this is a re-post i posted it in the wrong forum! opps.
I am trying to figure out the best way to install a 10" sub and amp in the middle storage space using the cover as a type of speaker box, perminatley fixed to the car ofcourse. My question is can i run my fosgate amp of of either A.) the Amp that is in the driverside space or B.) the CD Changer..which has been cleverly relocated. If i can run the power/wiring off of either the 2 of these which do i run off of. i guess i am being lazy and i could run a meter on all the wires but heck if someone has done it why not learn from wisdom. Any help is appreciated.. Also any suggestions.

You will have to run a new power wire from the battery to the amp.
You will also have to build a sub enclosure for the sub and fit it in the rear compartment.

no short cuts here, you will need bigger guage wire than the factory vette provides. Also you will need something more than the cover to mount the sub too or the sub will sound like crap
