Hey guys (and gals!), I scored a JL 10W1 PowerWedge and Alpine 260W mono 
amp for $100 (stupid coast guard officers) and have spent all day 
yesterday trying to hook it up to my wife's premium (as in not JBL) 
sound system, it's just got the one amp. I spliced the power, ground, 
and logic mute wires ok, and spliced the LR/LR + and - pre-amp wires 
into two coax cables cos that's the input into the amp (it's a good 
thing I do this sort of stuff professionally). I know power's getting to 
the amp, but should I have spliced the post-amp signal wires into the 
amp? cos the subwoofer isn't doing a damn thing. Swapping + and - make 
not a difference, and I know the splices were done correctly cos the 
rear speakers are still getting a signal. I'm gonna go down there with a 
multimeter today to figure out where I'm losing voltage but that's 
killin' me.

Also, I found a motorola transmitter (3 watt) on the roof of my wife's 
car's trunk. WTH? It has a coax going from it (ostensibly to the antenna 
on the rear window), some parallel cable, and a CAT5e. I've never seen a 
car with network cable in it, but there it is. Does anybody know what 
this all goes to? It's a ford part w/ ford PN, and one of the connectors 
on it leads me to think it's part of this 'cellular phone' option that 
the EVTM makes reference to but I've never heard of. If that's the case, 
does anybody know where else in the car to look for cellular phone 
option parts? maybe the other end of that CAT5e cable?

Oh, and if anybody from SHObros. is reading, please hurry up with my 
motor mount! I really really need that, man! Like, it's not even funny!

Jason
