just tap into the back 2 speaker wires...that is the easiest/best way imo. you will need rca's, power, speaker wire, and that is about it.

Yes, the rear package tray speakers are still there and their wires.

i used the wiring off the factory amps for the door subs for my signal... the factory radio puts out less bass as you turn it up.. the door signals are a little hotter and the bass doesnt cut out... my sub is twice as loud as it was with them tapped off the rear speakers.

Awesome! Can you give us more detail about exactly which wires you tapped in to?

TIA!

I'm getting a Amp and Sub installed tomorrow. I'll let you know how the installer wires it. Going to a privately owned car audio place ... $175 for the install which includes parts and labor. I am supplying Sub/Box/AMP.

Over the phone he said he will need to add a line converter and my Sub Volume will still be controlled by the Head Unit.
