Where is the best place to pull the remote power for amp?

I just bought a JL 1000/1v2 and two 10w6's for my 04 TL. I am kinda on the fence on a few things.
1 - Where to pull the 12v for the remote wire on the amp?

2 - I have read that with the JL 1000/1v2 that I do not need an LOC, is that true?

3 - Subs are dual 4 ohm and amp is 1000 W RMS @ 1.5 ohm - 4 ohm (11V-14.5V), what is the best way to wire the subs?

#1 use fuse number 31 or 32. Both are switched and can be used for what u need.

or just tap into the power wire for the DVD-NAV

2. If your amp has HI level inputs then you will not need an LOC, your owners manual should tell you what it supports

3. If you want max power out of your amp and you know how to wire series then do each sub in series which will give you 2ohm per sub and then do each one per channel. You can't go below 1.5ohm otherwise you will stress out your amp.

Don't tap into the DVD-NAV! Run a wire from the fuse box as suggested above.

Wire the DVCs in series which will give you 8ohms each, then wire the speakers in parallel to the amp which will bring it back down to 4ohms. If you wire them parallel to the amp the way it is now, you will be bringing the impedance down to 1ohm and I'm not too sure if that amp is 1ohm stable.

that amp is 1ohm stable but the electrical sytem is not.

listen to Trew...

you will thank him latter.

if you wire your amp for 1ohm, you will run into other issues like dimming light's and the amp will be running a lot hotter and eventually shut off do to thermal overload.

now on the other hand if you change your alternator to higher output one. run oversize power wires, then go for the 1ohm. till then stay within 2.....

This wiring part is a bit well confusing... I need wiring diagram or something, I know that this should not be that hard but I want to make sure I do it right. The 10w6 have a wiring block also that I have never seen. All a bit confusing..

nothing if you will tie in a 12 volt relay.

Power will come from fuse panel - DONE
But still fuzzy on how to correctly wire the subs in series, pics or diagrams would help.

^ Good link.

You want to use the one that says "2 DVC drivers with Voice Coils in Series / Parallel"
