EDIT: check voltage at the harness is what I would do, my wiring pinouts don't have that listed. Pinout is here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=601485

From what I gather, the OP used a 4AWG cable for the +12v and a 16AWG for the ground.

The power and ground should be the same gauge.

You're right, the REM wire can be 16AWG.....but the way the OP typed it out, it seems like his ground is much smaller than it is recommended to be.

As for finding the REM lead on the L7 amp harness, there is none. It is turned on through the MOST loop. OEM REM lead is pin 13 at the HU harness.....but OP mentioned he doesn't want to pull the HU.

EDIT: He has base, not L7. So the last section of this post is partly irrelevant. But the base stereo doesn't have an amp in the trunk either. It's still pin 13 behind the HU.
