If I don't have enough room to plug in my PAC SOEM-4 behind the radio than where is the best place to pick up the signal for my factory radio to convert into RCA outputs?

Right at the factory amp in the trunk

If he had the factory amp he wouldn't need the PAC

Didn't notice it was a non BA system

If ur only putting in subs I would get the signal from the rear 6x9s if ur really wanting to mount up by the radio run leads with longer wire to the loc and mount it in another spot

When running the PAC off of the rear speakers won't that cause the bass to be distorted? Will I have to turn the bass down on my front & rear speakers to make it sound right?

Starting my install today and got my radio out and there is plenty of room above the radio for the PAC. I will let you know how everything goes.

Got my system installed today! Ran the PAC behind the radio with the Factory T-connector and it fit. The only thing is if I want to adjust things I will have to remove the radio again. If I have to do that I might extend the wires and mount it in the glove compartment for easy adjustment in the future. Ran all the wires under the kick panels to the back. When I get my 6.5 and 6X9 speakers I will take everything apart and extend the wires then. The system sounds great just like I wanted. I did decide to mount the amp to the back of the box for now. I added a switch to the amps remote wire so I could turn off the amp when I just want to relax and listen to the factory radio or when the kids are in the back seat. Pictures later!!

Where are you grounding your aftermarket amp? I have never installed a amp in a car with the battery in the trunk and was told it is not a good idea to ground the amp at the battery. So show me where you grounded yours. Thanks

What does the battery in the trunk have to do with amp installation. You do it like you did all the others.

No sh--!! I was just saying that since the battery was in the trunk close to the system I thought the best ground would be to the battery!
