Can you adjust your diagram for the factory system?

I just have factory deck with rsx sub wired directy to battery and it's killing battery after a few days from the "draw".

I have two RSX Subs' power wires connectted to radio turn on lead for more than a year without any problem. One sub is in the passenger foot well facing down, another sub is in the spare tire well.

Jason,

This is the wire from the HU that I connected to Bose Subs power wire, number 2 of the HU connector, the color is White/Red, it is Switch Ignition Input

I think the 12volt ignition lead is the yellow wire to the stock HU, but im not sure... The colors on the diagram are representative of the wires coming out of the sub. All you gotta do is disconnect the 12v lead from the battery and attach it to the 12v ignition lead behind the head unit.

Thank you, it all makes sense now. I'm not an electrical guru.

What I ended up doing was grabbing power from the yellow wire on the convertible top module, which is ignition power. You also use this for Modifry's shift beeper unit, so that's how I knew it was the yellow wire. Everything works fine and I didn't need to pull the radio out.
