Amp 12v line
I'm doing a double din install that I got through Double D mods. So far everything is going pretty well. The question I have is I'm adding a subwoofer and amp to the rear compartment, Ive got all the wires run and the sub installed but how do you hood up the 12v line to the battery? I've got the side mount style battery and cant figure out how to hook up the line. Any pics or suggestions that would help would be great.
Thanks
Tim

In the passenger foot well compartment there are 3 wires that were run on the 97 - 2003 C5 that are intended for aftermarket products. They are behind the toe kick and to the left of the BCM (large silver box. The 3 wires were blunt cut and then wrapped with electrical tape. The black one is a ground. The other two are a yellow ( switched 12 volts) and an orange (always hot 12 volts). The orange is fused to fuse #7 in the passenger foot well fuse box and the yellow to fuse #11 in the same fuse box.

In the passenger foot well there should be 3 auxiliary power wires in 97-03 C5s.
Orange wire taped off. Always powered from Fuse #7 (20 Amp). This Fuse/wire is shared with the cigarette lighter.
Orange wire to a connector. Always powered from Fuse #1 (20 Amp). Wire not shared with anything.
Yellow wire taped off. Powered from ignition switch when "On". Powered from Fuse #11 (20 Amp). Not shared with anything.
