    Plan on running a jbl-gto-5ez amp, some sort of components in the front, coax in rear, and a single 10 behind the seats while running the stock non jbl head unit.

    Where/how is the best way to tap into and run speaker wires from head unit to the amp, then speaker wires from amp to the doors.

    Does someone sell a harness that can do this, I REALLY would like to avoid cutting wires or using wire taps if possible

    well...there is *********. I have not personally dealt with them but I've read mixed reviews. If you want to keep factory head unit, you'll need a line out converter. There are many many options for this. I personally replaced factory head unit. AudioControl makes good LOC units depending on what you're looking for. I would recommend visiting your local stereo shop and discussing options with them. Good luck

    he won't need a line out converter as the jbl-gto-5ez (as well as many other amps) comes with speaker level inputs. to get the signal from the head unit to the amp the best place will be at the head unit where the left and right channels are together. for amp the speakers the best run will depend where you place the amp
