I got a 09 sedan w/ bose w/o nav, and i'm looking into powered subwoofers. But the thing is powered subwoofers uses rca audio connector, how would I convert the subwoofer +/- to left and right?

I've been using it since I got my G37. I don't remember how I wired my G35 but it seems like at the same volume level, it doesn't hit as hard as when the subs were in my G35. Must be the signal is weaker than the signal coming from the G35 head unit.
/oh. And you can just push the wires to the stock connector and secure it with electrical tape or hot glue gun, don't need to cut any wires. It's easy to unmod and doesn't leave any mess. For some reason when selling the car to older people, they don't like to see those wires.

It should be pre-amp because if you look at the attached PDF in post 7, you will see that's the signal that coming to the stock amp.

I have one more question, I have read from some forum saying that if I get a aftermarket sub I should disconnect the stock 6x9 sub. Would it be better if I have both of them connected?

In this one, I will use a 2-way Switch so I can switch between the stock amp and the big amp.
You can cut wire #3 and make a switch from there.

I disconnected them but I'm thinking about reconnecting them back. In my G35, I ran the remote wire to the cigarette lighter fuse. I made a switch so when I kick it, the amp turns off. No one likes being "kicked" when they are on the back seats.

23-26 are guaranteed LOW level inputs!! My hifi amp doesn't take high level, that's how I know for sure lol
After you wire them up I'd actually suggest using a line driver just to make sure you have no noise due to splices, but that's unnecessary.

That's what I figured and that's what I have them on. Just trying to figure out an issue I'm having. Seems more and more likely I have a very temperature finicky amp.
