haha, no its not my real name nor am i a doctor. Yea, i love this thing. I was wondering if anyone know where i could get a wiring diagram for this car? I am looking into installing a external subwoofer im the trunk (my first time) and i want to know where everything is. If anyone could hook me up with a tutorial of some type that would be great. Im going to go to my local advanced auto parts store to see if the guy can help me out but they dont carry what i need so im weary to go ask them. I would like to do this because as you raise the volume of the stereo, the bass decreases dramatically. I dont know if what i have is underpowerded or what. But from what i've seen other people do, i think this is the best way to get maximum performace out of my system. Any ideas guys? Help a rook out!

Welcome to the site.

First thing I would do is replace the stock speakers. You would be amazed how much better sounding it will be. Also, what are you looking for in a system? Major bass, or just a nice all around sound? I am not into the major bass, so I just hooked up an Infinity BassLink II self amped 250 Wrms. For any amp and sub, if you are not looking into getting a new head unit, you can get line output converters. Like at this link http://www.crutchfield.com/S-qYmdvyF...g=721&I=101PL2

Here is what is looks like in my trunk. Looks better now, that I cleaned it up.
