This is a 18' xlt supercab, 302a equipment package. Non b&o system, no stock sub. Does have 8 inch sync 3.
They're not on the back wall. They're directly behind the rear driver side door, in the bottom of the pillar. If you pull back on the plastic trim, you should see the plug. The wires are wrapped in green tape.

Ohh. Thank you so much, I saw that green tape. So much for all that effort on the damn seat XD

Alright so I got everything hooked up... but no bass.

I tapped into the Violet/Grn for positive and green/white for negative on that plug. My LC2i is sensing signal and turning on. Amp is powered on.

Moving the signal inputs around on the LC2i creates interference which I can hear through the sub.

What am I missing?

Have any of you had issue running two runs of speed wire along the driver side? Is there plenty of room in there? My speedwire is about 1/2 inch due to the thick outer insulation. Thanks.

I didn't run any. I'm using stock wiring for the speakers, put the crossover blocks in the door right under the handle. I'm also running OEM tweeters in the A pillars - they sound fine to me.
