Default Toyota Techs... Please Help!

Any Toyota Tech PLEASE help me out.

I would like to install my Bazooka Base Tube Exactly how Toyota/Scion specifies.

I have posted before, but to no prevail no one has answered correctly.

Now, I know this. Toyota/Scion would not have factory trained techs running a power lead from the battery, with a fuse block 12" from the battery, through the firewall, down the interior of the car, through all the panels and to the bazooka.

Then run the speaker leads from the headunit, down the interior panels and back.

To time consuming, to much to take apart and re-assemble, to much labor hours.

So, therefore there must be a plug, or wiring you tap into at the rear. I am willing to get a harness from Toyota/Scion that can do this, but I need to know:
A: Where do you tie in from?
B: How do you tie into it?
C: Any wire diagrams or mapping would be great

Toyota/Scion in my local area has been reluctant to give me anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

To install the factory bazooka, you got to do the following:

1. Remove stock deck(a. 2 temp *****, 2 screws, remove panel(pull out from vents, 4 deck screws, unplug 2 harnesses)

2. plug in bazooka wiring harness(duplicate of the larger stock wiring harness with a male end and a female end - one goes to the stock connection and the other goes to the deck.

3. run wires to trunk(remove glove box(just open and pull), all passenger side trim(just pull starting with the door sills), tuck wires an run to the trunk)

TOO EASY!!!!

Considering that the boom tube harness is daisy-chained at the head unit, I'll bet that they just tap into one of the speaker wires and a power wire. You could do this at any point and get the same result.

However, since Toyota has it so neat and clean, there's little point into hacking up the wiring. The trim comes off easily and should make the proper install a snap!

I'd love to see pictures of it.. with the sub installed though, what do you guys figure is going to each speaker RMS wattage-wise?
