Hi,

I saw that you helped Josh with his sub setup and wondering if you could do the same. This is for my RDX 07 Tech. I currently have two questions and below is a description of what I have done so far.

Setup:
MTX RE-Q
JL Audio 250-1
JL Audio 12w3v2 D6
Rest is all stock

Issues: no music plays out of the sub from the below install. I am confused because I followed all the proper installs. I only question how the req and remote wire is set up but mainly the req sub wire inputs.

Current install:

Req setup:
Req tapped into the OEM HU harness wires besides remote wire. Remote is tapped into the cig accessory. I ran speaker wires from the Sub input wires of the req to the back of the car and tapped into the red and green wires right before the sub harness.

Amp:
4 guage amp kit, power from battery, grounded to frame of car right behind the arm rest center console ( paint stripped for optimal ground ), rem to same cig accessory as req. RCA from req sub output to amp input and speaker to sub.

Questions:

For this set up, will both the rem work fine with no road noise and will I be able to use the cigarette lighter in the future? If not, where should I tap it into and what color are the wires ( need exact details or photos please).

I believe my setup is not working because I have the REQ set up wrong. I think the way I set up the sub input to the req is wrong. When I was looking at the wire diagram, it states the sub wires are the green and red which I could not find in the oem amp wire harnesses. That is why I ran the wire back to the rear where I know for sure the sub wires are.


So for this, I am confused. Is there a factory sub amp in the OEM speaker box and should I be tapping the req sub wires else where? If so where, what colors and harness should I be tapping into. Please provide details.
I currently have my car interior all taken apart and need it for work tomorrow so if you can, a quick response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, knowledge and help.
