1) he's running a LOC, so he isn't running any audio cables to the trunk, he's just splicing off the rear speakers, so i would still do it on the drivers side to save wire

2) if the amp has high level inputs, it also has a gain, so there's no real advantage to buying LOC's. just run 4 wires from your stock deck back to the amp. now if you tear apart your car, you'll notice there's 2 paths on both the drivers side and passenger side to run the wire, that are a few inches away from eachother and seperated by some sheetmetal, thats enough space to avoid interferance. just get some somewhat decent wire (not the expensive junk, but not the cheap stuff) get oxygen free too, because you dont want that stuff oxidizing and coroding, you'll never see it if it does.

3)most amps now have a soft turn on to avoid the thump, wiring a relay into the system will avoid the thump. a better option would be to try and find out the factory pinout for the deck, so far ive only seen the cd/tape monsoon system pinouts.



jiffy - the color for remote turn-on's is blue/white. but thats a universal aftermarket color, factory colors are almost always different. they never follow the aftermarket trend.
