Look at the pic for the connections. No need to use the Pyramid cross over in that case.

Sorry there is a discrepancy in my previous pic. Wires should be 11 & 12 and not 10 & 11. Here are the correct pics.

Tap power off the green terminal block located under the cargo floorboard. There is plenty of good power there!

omg i didnt even know that high level input existed on my amp! LOL... only question is.. how will the wires stay in place? wont they move around because there isnt no screw to tightned them. ALso i noticed i have a 30amp fuse, it says use 25... is that going to be an issue?

Also on the amp... x-over mode is set to LP? or HP? or Off?, and andd one more lol.. what is x-over freq multi? x1 or x10?

thanks

You need high level input harness/connectors for that. Go to any auto shop, Best Buy, Circuit City or Radio Shack. You should have that for $10 or so. Set the Crossover frequency control to 0 for right now. You will be able to adjust it later by hearing the result. This controls the frequency range that will be passed to your subwoofer.

Hey, called couple places.. no one seems to have such a thing, or know what the hell Im talking about lol.. I noticed the connector is loose.. it comes out, and the wires are exposed behind it, should i just take the connector out and directly attached the wires? Also there is a ground on it, does it need to be grounded? Theres L + -, R + -. Gnd. From the wires 5/6 and 11/12.. which is - and which are +?

Thanks

5 +, 6 -, 11 +, 12 -. Yes you should ground it to avoid a ground loop noise.
You said you have access to the wires behind the high level connectors? If yes then yes attach the wires directly. Do you know how to solder? Be careful not to short circuit + and - as you risk to blow your stock amp
