I have a hifonics amp, link: http://sonicelectronix.com/item_4097.html Please help! MY head unit is a kenwood, model: KDC-MPV5025. Like I said works awesome with the radio, then when I flip it to cd, it turns off! Thanks in advance!

Link doesn't work.

Connect the amp remote wire to the remote wire on the HU, it is usually marked REM ar AMP.

Hah, and now I fixed most of the rattle. The cool thing about mustangs is the back seats pop open very easy, so all I did was position the sub right behind the back seat, and pop it open when I wanna turn it up. I love being able to feel the air rush past me as the sub pounds, nothin like it. Thanks for all your guys' help!

I have it facin the front in the trunk, right behind my back seat. Because most of the rattle comes from the trunk area, I open the back seat and the bass comes into the cab instead of the trunk so it dosn't rattle the trunk.
