I think that is the same or similar to what he is using.

What I used in the past (and might use now) is just run a switch for 12v to the amp turn on, then run a headphone to RCA plug from your iPod/MP3 player into the RCA input on the amp, or the crossover input.

Turn the switch on and push play.

Can you elaborate on this upgrade to your Caddy, is a am/fm radio needed or will it work with a stock am radio as well...how complicated is the install??? I looked at the pics in the other guys post, would be great to have music control for an Ipod. Although the oldies station that comes in on the AM radio is great for nostalgic cruising.

yeah you can leave the stock radio in . Am/fm doesn't matter, you dont use the radio at all, my crew cab has port in the radio that i can run my ipod though like many new cars do (my2008 truck also does)in my sub case its own power supply ,on off switch and volume control, its slick

Thanks man, cool 'Burb...I know Sub really dig the Creamsicle flatz color, what brand of paint did you use, any special ingredients to get that sheen, and what about maintenance after the fact??? Heard good things about Ace It as a cleaner.
