CL: Amp swap
Amp swap
Hi all,
I'm looking to upgrade my amp and got the labels for all the wires that go into the stock am on a 2003 CL-S. The problem I see is the list does not show any input wires? It shows all the output wires to the speakers, the 12v and ground, illum, dimmer and antenna, but no inputs. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks.

Thanks, I will give it a try!!
I went in and spread out the wires at the amp, and found most wires, but were missing some, and could not find others. I was able to find 1 red wire for (+) input, but not 2, and could not find any light blue wires. I was not able to fine the 12VDC (white/green), Accessory 12VDC (white/red), found 1 orange wire but on the list there are 2, amp trigger and Sub (-). Wire colors I had left not in the list were Black with gray squares, Green with Gray squares, White/yellow with Gray squares, a yellow and a black. Your information was helpful but it looks like I need a little more help, please! I'm looking to put a better amp in but I need to know what's what before I try and wire things in. Thanks.
I need to apologize. When I looked a little deeper, there was a very good thread on wiring an 03 Cl. My fault for not doing my do diligence.... I have included it in case someone else might need it.
