I ran power under the car due to its size. The LC6i has a GTO setting and automatically turns on once it senses 12v via speaker input and has a remote out feature so that powers the amps once the unit turns on.i ran my power wire through the fire wall that was the hardest part of running my wires lol the only thing im missing is an adaptor to tap into the factory sub so that I can adjust my sub through the head unit. im going to run my remote wire to the cig light fuse.
