well, a friend of a friend asked me to install a new hu, subs, and amp in his 2000 Bonneville. Just after taking the dash apart, i noticed i was getting myself into trouble. I know it has a seperate amplifier, but where?? Then i went to install the subwoofers, and couldnt find the battery, just a jumping cable on the front, where a rubber gusset goes through the firewall, and well into the middle of the dash. I later found out that the battery is under the back seat, and is accessable from the truck. Im thinking this will be the easiest way to hook up the power. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

dont sweat the amp just get a wiring harness for the car and wire it in that way, then run the rca cord and power ground and remote likeyou normally would and hook the sub up

yepp, hooking up the amp and subs will be no prob at all, its the hu thats a problem. I found this link, and its kinda hard to follow: http://homepage.mac.com/markhooton/radio_web.html
The only wires visable are the data cable and the antenna, which are obviously not what connect to the wireing adapter. There must be a seperate amplifier, but i havent a clue where it is
