anyone know if there is a remote tap in the trunk.. i read a thread that suggested the teal wire that goes to the subwoofer could act as a remote.. i tapped into it rather then cutting and splicing and unfortunatly it doesnt work.. thanks for the help! or is it the pink wire under the dash?

this is on a 08 cobalt ss

 

Pretty sure the only wires going to the sub are the 4 signal wires, so they won't work.

There shouldn't be anything you could use back there, there isn't anything that is ignition on in the trunk. You might be able to find something under the car like Evap or some ****, but for that much work just run a wire up to the fuse panel, its much easier.

 

having a hell of a hard time trying to figure out where to penetrade the firewall.. looking for a rubber gromit but i cant get to it!

 

What for? There is a fuse panel under the center cluster, use that.

There is a grommet above the brake pedal where a harness runs through the firewall, I usually use that to run nitrous lines or wiring.

 

there is a wire in the back going to the sub that can be used.. off the top of my head i belive it was the teal or the brown wire it had 7 volts and i used that one... however when i unlock my trunk or hit the unlock on the key fob you here the amp kick on and the subs energize then the amp kicks back off a few second later... (been this way for mon without prob or dead battery)

so im not sure what i tapped into but i do know i have 4 10" kicker comp cv10 and the factory sub in my trunk and it takes my breath away when i put on bass cd's lol

it was the top left corner of the 4 pin connector use a voltage tester

 

dont be ghetto and hook it to some nonsense in the trunk.... interior fuse panel is the one with most of the acc/ign wires anyway

 

passenger side center console is where its at its just hell getting that panel off..

 

not really... 2 clips in the center area (left and right) then pull the bottom out and down. (has 2 inserts up top)

try it out and let me know if its giving u issues

 

Anyone know what that yellow plug thingy is in the firewall just behind the clutch pedal(under the carpet)???

 

dont **** with anything yellow

yellow = airbag

 

You sure? I yanked that thing out months ago thinking it was maybe a good hole in the firewall to run **** through. I also firgot to put it back in....

 

ha!!

 

well normally anything yellow is airbag related to some point... lol hit the yellow thing in your bumper with a hammer and see what happens

it may or may not be airbag related but i wouldnt chance it, tread softly

 

what yellow thing? I had my whole front bumber off when I was installing my water meth....nothing yellow up there but some yellow bug guts on my intercooler

 

not on thew bumper itself. on the front metal support in the middle behind the metal (or on the side closest to the firewall)

 

I know.....nothing yellow there......that I can recall

 

Its a black box with a yellow sticker on it IIRC, the plug might be yellow as well. Its just a warning thing, as all airbag stuff is usually powered 24/7 and can be activated by any impact, along with the fact that it will **** you up if you're not ready for it.

 

thats good........always wated to be hit by another car and then be slammed in the face with a bag

 

lol that's not really the issue at hand. if they go off when you are hit that's normal but how much fun will it be if you unplug something trying to install some subs and either 2 or 4 airbags in your car decide to go off?

not only is it going to be loud and possibly **** you up you cant just put em back and pretend it didn't happen. Getting them from the dealer is probably gonna run you what 500 a piece... pricey bill to pay

 

yeah....ef that
