Evand,

I have a 2001 Miata with pretty much the same setup as yours. What i did was splice the empeg into the existing wiring and then run it into the AUX in of my Clarion. While i may lose the use of the empeg equalizer from the Clarion, i like it better this was as i dont have to run the empeg when i am listening to Sirius or the radio.

also, as i am sure everybody is sick of hearing about...i have chronic alternator whine from my install...managed to minimize it but still audible when i turn on the a/c or headlights.

just curious...where did u put the sub..i have a 8" jl audio in the passenger footwell....fyg i have 2 amps in the trunk along with the Sirius receiver

let me know how it all works out!
