Find the thread that has a picture of the amp connections (straight from the TSX technical manual). It should help.

Also, run audio cables separate from power. (i.e. different side of car)

You might want to consider just pulling the audio from the rear deck speakers, since it's just a sub anyway. It's less work, except the signal is amplified and goes through a crossover in the stock amp.

I had my amp hooked up hanging next to the DVD drive. It's great for cooling and also out of the way. I'll see if I can post some photos later tonight.
