If you're installing an amp for a aftermarket sub in a Second Generation Chevy Sonic, you're in luck! These vehicles are a breeze.
The battery is located on the driver side, under the hood in the engine bay. Right behind the battery you will see a large rubber grommet on the firewall, you can punch right threw that to run the main power wire into the cab of the vehicle. Be sure to avoid the main wire harness that goes threw that same rubber grommet! There should be plenty of room to run your power wire threw without coming close to those wires.
If you are going to be keeping the factory stereo, the rear speaker wires are located in the driver kick panel. You can connect your line out converter/hi-lo converter to these wires. The speaker wires should be twisted, and should read about 4.2ohms on your multi meter. The rear left speaker positive should be "Green" & Negative should be "Green/Black. The rear right speaker positive should be "White" & Negative should be "Blue/Black"
You can grab your remote/amp turn on wire at the cigarette outlet plug.
If you remove the bottom plastic piece in the cup holder, you can easily access the wires coming off the back of the cigarette outlet plug. They will be loomed in clothe tape. The "Purple/Yellow" should be the positive, and can be used to power your amp on/off with the ignition switch. You should always double check with multi meter just to make sure you have the right wire(s).
Once you run all your wires to your amp, find yourself a good ground.
I found a good ground right under the edge of the trunk liner. I attached a ground wire to the hollow metal support that raps around the opening of the trunk, closest to the rear fold down seats. Always double check to make sure there isn't anything that may be damaged by the screws used to mount and secure your ground wire. You will also want to remove the paint with a wire brush or sand paper, in the location you will be mounting your ground wire.
Connect your sub(s) and you're done! And you didn't even have to remove the factory stereo!
