Subwoofer wiring

I am looking to add a subwoofer/amp to the rear. What is the easiest way to:
1. run power to the amp
2. run the stereo output to the amp.
I have a 2001 C2. I am not real gifted with creative wiring. I have the CDR 220 Becker stereo and have added the Becker Aux. Any specifics on the way to plug into the back of the CDR220 would be appreciated. I have done the center console delete and have noted an unused 4 wire plug. Can I run power off this?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, please do not think I am being snarky: I have done this to my 993, and I know it works for a fact:
Ever thought of deleting your mufflers? That gives you no need for a subwoofer (because your ears will be filled with 30-60 Hz sounds from the engine while driving), AND when you press on the real "play" button (your gas pedal) the 996 goes to 11. You also save @ 60 pounds of weight.
To have a subwoofer would make your classy Porsche just a bit closer to the Nissan Z/ Toyota Supra category, in my opinion.

Point taken. I am not looking for big shake the car next to you sound. The sound is missing something behind me which I would like to fill in.

yea, but the mufflers come off easy !!
I have to agree with Jim, I waited 28 years for this car and I would rather hear its exhaust note than ANY song, ANY day....
You may need to remember it for a long time someday (Tippy and Tim both have been without their's for many months, get your fill while you can !)

I had an Infinity Basslink II wedged between the back seat uprights and the rear deck. No modifying necessary.
Plus, it will fill in the sound, not "bump" ghetto style.
