Hi, I'm about to start a similar project. Do you know from where did the installers got the remote signal for the amp?

Just reset the warning, this error will occur everytime you unplug the battery, which was probably done during the install.

ALso, it looks clean, but somehow I feel like there should be 2 subs, and not just one off to one side.

Me too, I'm a very symetrical kind of person, there needs to be equal on both sides. The MB symbol helps...how was that made?

Look in the manual under the bit about disconnecting a battery. You need to turn the car on with the steering wheel centred, lock the wheel to the left, then put it on full lock to the right and finally bring it back to centre. Then you turn the car off, take out the key, then turn it back on and voila, it should be gone.

Hope this helps.
