Possible to just upgrade the subwoofer in my sound system?

I have the 2009 TL with Tech Package so I have the ELS surround sound system.

I was just wondering if I can add a little more bass into my car w/o fooling around with too much of the sound system

I added the JL Audio Powerwedge 12. Fits like a glove and still have the controls as the factory Sub. Good sound if you are looking for something lil better than factory.

Who installed it? The problem with the bass is it it's too bouncy, i needed to turn sub and bass to -2 or -1, still too strong, does the JL sound a lot better or lil?

Does that thing wire into the existing wiring, or do you have to run a power through the firewall, fused at the battery, and grounded in the trunk?

Amp problems

I have a 2009 TL with the keyless entry start. I am wondering if you guys know where to hook up the remote wire for my amp so the amp can shut off when the car is off... can anyone help me?
