2016 iA- is there a pre-amp in the car for the speakers? Id like to avoid going through the firewall to the battery if at all possible. Also contemplating splicing into the speakers in the rear for the amp and sub since the head unit is nothing more than a touchscreen

The main "head unit" is under the glove compartment in the passenger footwell. Check out this post http://www.scioniaforum.com/forum/26-electronics-audio-lighting/1810-added-bit-bass.html

I used a PAC line level converter for my amp/sub combo. It was a piece of cake to install and didnt involve any irreversable splices into my wiring harness.

I found the head unit

I found the grommet in the drivers footwell too. Going to give it a go this weekend I think. Its been a while since i did this kind of work in my car, and Im usually one to pick up older cars and make those my projects. First "modern" car so Im a bit nervous.

64 1/2 mustang, 67 chevy pick up, a couple 70s novas, a 1970s international scout...before this car, my newest was a 2005 neon...saturn sc1 (97) and a 94 taurus.

Hey at least you won't have to worry about rusted screws or dealing with any of the usual you would with an older car, my first time working on a newer car was a bit of a relief.
