2018 Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium Convertible switched relay power for amps and subwoofers demo

I wanted to add two 10 inch subwoofers along with two monoblock (500 - 750 RMS each) amps to my 2018 Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium Convertible. There wasn't much info on the web specific to my car so I created my own video of the process. This demo shows everything hooked up and running. I spliced wires out of the left and right rear speakers into high input connections on a Line-Out-Converter. That signal goes out of the Left and Right RCA low level outputs of the LOC- left to a Boss Elite 1500.1 Monoblock amp and the right going to an SSL EV1500M Monoblock amp. I routed both bass knob control wires, Red 12 volt battery wire and fused distribution block. I have a low current 12 volt signal coming from lighted blue LED latching pushbutton switch to a relay that supplies power to the remote turn on circuits daisy chained to each amp. I have the switch wired to the front passenger fuse block behind the kick panel at fuse number 23. This connection supplies power to the switch only while car is "ON" and switches off when OFF. I removed the original 10" subs from each Pyle PLQB10 bandpass enclosure and replaced both subwoofers with Blaupunkt GBW101 subwoofers. These enclosures are decent for my setup and I am happy with the bass after my modifications were done. My next video will show the amps and wires mounted neatly and subwoofers strapped in for stability. Here are the main components: (partial list) 2-Pyle PLQB10 10 inch Bandpass subwoofer enclosures 2-Blaupunkt GWB101 10 inch subwoofers 1-Boss Elite 1500.1 Monoblock Amplifier 1-Sound Storm Labs EV1500M Monoblock Amplifier 1-Scosche SLC4 4-channel Line Out Converter 1-Twidec/16mm Raised Top Latching Push Button Switch GL16O-BK-BU 1-Novita 40 Amp Relay and matching relay plug harness 1-amp wiring kit with 100-amp fuse distribution block, 12 volt red wire, Black ground wire, remote turn on wire, one pair of RCA cables, speaker wires, and a 100-piece solderless crimp connector kit.
