just did my install yesterday. installed a new alpine typr r 12" in a ported box with a mrd501 mono amp. i used a LOC on the sub wires, and it worked perfect. sub is a little loud though, but that just might be the sub lol. the stock sub control does work. i have the sub on "off" and the sub still works, just gets a unamped signal. once you bump the sub up each level is a big gain. also for the remote turn on i used the ACC/RADIO fuse, i think its number 37, and it works fine too. turns off when the cars off. i didn't even touch my headunit the whole install. As for the power wire i in the fender, and through the door pillar. theres a small hole the wireharness goes through and a 4gauge wire just fits. it is snug though. then down the kick panel, pushed into the seat crevices, and into the trunk. Whole process maybe took me a hour or 2. went smooth.
