Help wiring subs

ok i'm wanting to put two subs in my trunk. I have the box built, the subs in, and i have all of the things necessary to finish the install i think. However, i need wiring diagrams to find the preamp output of the headunit at the bose amp and i'd like to also see what i can find for the easiest remote turn-on hookup. The problem is: I've looked through the DIY forum and done numerous searches and had plenty of results, however all of the pics are now gone from the threads. I'm basically a beginner at wiring all of this aside from watching a few installs, so any tips on any part of the install would help. thanks

the bose has no preamp, you need a line level converter to take the tap from one of the speakers. JL makes a really nice one, or David Navone engineering makes a really clean one also.

tap into the green wire of the lighter plug in the center console. You need to remove the entire center console to get to this.

when i did my subs, i tapped the rear 6x9's for line converter. i think its easier and you dont have to run RCA's through the whole car. i connected the remote turn on to my fuse box on the drivers side.
