I got the PAC (this thing is huge!) and the Headlight Harness in, so I am going to try and tackle these this weekend, assuming I can find all the connectors I need...

Well if you need any help there are a couple of people here who have put this in EcoDave has put in two.

If only they lived closer to Atlanta LOL
I will ask questions if I run into any, for sure. I think that I might extend the wires on the PAC in order to put it somewhere there is more room, instead of trying to cram it behind the headunit.

Ok, cool. I will have to check that out, if it saves me time by not having to lengthen the wires then I am all for it.

Sorry for the messiness in the pictures i was in a hurry because i was also doing alignments while installing all of this.

Another angle showing were my wires run.

You can see the harness behind the Stock PDIM

Just showing another angle of the harness

This is were my PAC harness sits behind the A/C controls

Very cool, thanks! This will help me out.

The other location is to the right of the stereo, above the glove box. it is a tight squeez getting it in but it is a perfect fit.

That is where I was originally thinking, but I was going to extend the wires some so I could put it a little further behind the Glove Box where there might be more room.
I will find out once I get it all pulled apart anyway

Thanks guys

If you extend the wires at all I would suggest adding velcrow to hold it in place, with the wires being pulled tight it stays in position really well, but I will warn you it's a tight pull on the wires and getting the radio back in is very tricky. But it will go with a little finesse.

I read that in your how-to, which is why I thought about extending them in the first place

I got the PAC installed, but now I can't figure out how the passenger side kick panel comes off, so I can run the RCA & Remote under it...

EDIT: Finally got it, the wires are now in the back seat, but it is getting to hot & humid to work much longer, so I'm gonna take a break until nightfall to work on the pulling them into the trunk.

So if you are looking a great spot for the remote I found Ahiru's build page who put in the center counsel so its hidden. I followed his idea and I would recommend it 100%. Hopefully these links will work. If not look at his build on page 7. http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/94-cruze-owner-projects/12604-ahirus-cruze-build-7.html

That is pretty cool! I might have to try that.

 

[APCruze]

I did it with mine and love the outcome of it. It does take some finessing to get it in though.

I went ahead and ran the remote wire to the console while I had the backseat apart. Put the backseat back together and then realized I had not yet run Power & Ground for the Amp...

 

[APCruze]

Sounds like you will be an expert on pulling the seat apart before too long...

LOL the backseat has to be one of the easiest pieces I have had to remove for this install yet...

Ok, so the console is all back together. I ran wires for Power & Ground under the Center Console, but I will have to actually hook them up later. Still need to run Power & Ground for the Amp, and then hook it all up in the trunk

 

[Dragonsys]

Amp & Sub are done, for now. I still need to finish up the Remote Gain control and tune the system
I stole this idea as well, thanks to APCruze for showing it to me.

Ordering this crossover to help filter out the misc chatter (not interference), so I don't get voices and such coming out of the sub.

EDIT: so I'm an idiot, the Amp does have a filter built in, I had it adjusted wrong
