I have been looking all over and I was very happy to find this site but I still need a little help. Im installing a 10" with a small amp into an 03 eddie bauer. I know that I need to tap into a rear speaker but what is the cleanest way to do that?

Has anyone just tapped into the factory sub and took the signal from that?

Thank you, Derek

Ya i did this when i first installed my amp and subs i just tucked the wires into the plastic connectors and then plugged it in, it worked fine, about a year ago i got an aftermarket headunit so i just used the rca's

Sorry it took so long but i looked at it this weekend and the connector has a few pins but only 2 wires (grey/black-negative and grey/blue+positive ) thats where i hooked up the line output converter and bingo rca's to the amp. Make sure your gain and level is adjusted from your amp because if you hook it up to your factory sub and you crank the bass up from your deck youll overwork/distort the factory sub, if you want to do this just disconnect the factory sub and tape the wires up youll be good to go with just your aftermarket subs and amp boomin'
