I'm not sure, but it maybe more useful to everyone to change the thread title to "Radio & Sub Help" or something  There must be a way to get the head unit out, although it may involve taking a section of the dashboard away. Also, you may need a separate level controller supplying the amp or you'll have no control over the level of bass.

I had the rear panels off today...took out the seats fitted new speakers and put back together in 2 hours and thats with a trip to my mates house to get a tool as well
The cables for the rear speakers were grey and cream and violet i think

mines a 08 model too ive got the power cable running through the bulkhead from battery and down the sill into the boot i thought the remote could just go in the converter box as it looks as if its got a remote out??? or would that just constantly power the amp on and not turn off :s how did you wire into the fuse box??? gonna brave it and try the door cards tomo night if weathers ok lol this is what i got cheap and cheerful http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370096454189

Sounds like a remote prroblem - take some cable and send it from the mains input on the amp into remote input - see if you get any life out of it

couple of people have said wire the remote from the amp into the fuse box but i cant see how that can be done as theres just fuse terminals i take it you got rid of the factory head unit and used a aftermarket as they have a remote out lol

To run it off the fuse box you just Tee into the wire that comes out of the back of the fuse. Use the small of the 2 audio fuses as that turns on and off with ignition. You will have to remove the glove box and unscrew the fuse box to make it more accesable.
chris have u got a pic u can put up
