Sub Install Help!!!!

Need some advice here. I have run power lead from Battery down driver side to the back seat. Any advice as to how to get it from the back seat to the trunk? Also how do I get to the rear sub to tap the sub wires?
Any help would be appreciated.

Just did this whole process.
Pretty much you gotta take everything out of the back of the car. Seats, rear dash the two rear pillars (be careful doing this because the airbags are right behind them) and the top trunk liner. The stock sub is easy to take out, only 4 screws. Once this is done unplug the wires from the sub, cut the wires and connect to LOC and then the amp. If you have any other questions just ask

If you pull up the driver side rear panel, there is a small crease between the back and bottom of the rear seat you can get the wire through. For the LOC, I would tap it at the amp in the passenger kick. There are a few post right below yours talking more of this.

Thanks!!! How do you get rear seats out? Are they bolted? Also in the rear trunk liner. What is that pull cord for? Sorry for being so ignorant. Just bought the car last week.

Thanks for the advice. Actually turned out to be pretty easy. I ran a coat hanger from trunk under back seat and then pulled wires through. I would prefer to tap right into the sub wires since they are right there. My amp takes speaker level inputs and it worked well on my Land Rover. Two more questions: 1 does anyone know what wire is positive on the sub. Also, will I still get vibration if I don't get Acura to do the fix?

The black and yellow wire for the sub, is the positive.

yea i was gonna say you would have to take everything out of the back..what i would do to make it really neat, is to hide the wiring underneath the carpet that would take time but im sure it would be worth it..thats how i have it set up in my integra..im soon going to do my system in the TL
