    I am trying to add a amplifier and sub to my stock head unit in my new taco. I dont want to cut any of the stock wiring behind the h/u and don't know what wiring harness I need. I was wondering if anyone knew what I need to connect the amp to the head unit or had pics. Thanks

    It is pretty simple. You would also need to wire power for the amp but thats about it. I feel a 6 channel converter is unnecessary when only adding an amp for just a subwoofer.

    OP will not need to cut any wires if adding an amp to power just the sub. The converter is only going to tap into the speaker wires.
