ZL1 audio upgrade

Please excuse if this has been covered! I haven't seen anything on it if it has!!
I sold my 2011 SS, to purchase a 2013 ZL1.
I took out all the aftermarket stereo equipment I purchased for the SS, in order to put it in my new Z!

I guess the main question in fairly simple! Are all the connections, wiring, etc.. the same on the ZL1?
I did purchase some new things to put in the ZL1!
Those consist of, the drivers side rear mount subwoofer box for the JL Audio 10W7AE from ********.com. To push that, I bought a JL HD 750/1 to push only the 10!

I had purchased in the past was the JL XD 400/4 to take the place of the factory Boston acoustics amp!

Just kinda wondering if all this will be basically the same installing in the new ZL1? I had also purchased the "FARK" kit from ******** as well so it should all be basically plug & play.

Should be starting on this soon, as I do plan on installing dynamat first, then go from there!
Initially, I plan on keeping the stock speakers for now, then maybe upgrading those later!!!

One other small question, how can I disconnect that center dash mounted speaker without prying the grill of and disconnecting it?
I did this on my 2011 SS and the grill came out slightly damaged!!

Thanks for any assistance)))
PS, I ❤❤❤ my Z

You can by cutting or disconnecting the wire (yellow see diagram) at the amplifier in the truck.

The wire is located at pin 4 of AMP X2 (UQA) of the 16 Pin connector. Look at POST #2

I am thinking of doing similar set up with my 2013 ZL1. Have you started the install yet? Where are you thinking of installing the dynamat? I don't want to add any unnecessary weight to my car...
