Tapping signal for powered sub.

Hey on a 99' e55 with CD changer, where is a good place to tap a signal for a powered sub? (line level or preamp)

Thx!

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone knew where is the easiest place to tap for preamp signals.

If it's not too much trouble, do you mind taking a look at your sub to see where the signals leads to?

Look under the rear deck in the the trunk and you will see speaker wire going to the rear speaker, just tap into any of those line and call it a day.

Yeah, I figured that's what I'd do if I didn't get any answers, is there a preamp signal in the back of the car somewhere? Isn't there an analog connection to the Bose amp from the command on the 99's?
