My thought at the moment is to complete the install up to the point of connecting the sub to the factory nav unit, then take it to a pro to finish the job. Does this sound like a crazy idea or is there a simpler way to finish it up myself?

Did you give it a shot? Back to wanting this again.

I installed the sub a few months ago. I've been happy with it. Did you have any specific questions about installation? I have the bose audio and the workshop 12 brainiac tablet running all my audio.

I will be installing this sub in my '09 base sport along with a nifty city tablet, new component woofers and tweeters and, an amp pushing ~50 watts to the speakers. When you installed yours, did you have an amp for the door speakers? If so, did you run two sets of RCA's out of the tablet or one set to the speakers amp and then, to the CV sub? Do you tie the two remote wires (the blue ones that tell the amp to turn on) together or hook them up separately?

I am not a complete noob but, it's been 20+ years since I have done anything remotely close to this and I haven't found how people essentially hook up two amps to to the tablet.

TIA
