    Good morning TW!

    I search the hell out of the forums and couldn't come up with what I was looking for. I installed an amp under the driver's seat along with a line out converter. I want to tap into a speaker in the driver's kick panel since it's the easiest to get to. To determine what to tap into I took the door apart and found two green wires coming out of the speaker. In the cluster of harnesses/wires those same dark and light green cables were located. Can anyone confirm that these are the correct wires to tap into? I did tap into them and no signal is being detected by the LOC.

    Thank you in advance.

    Personally, I would buy the adapter for the factory wiring harness at the back of the radio. Run you jumper wires up to there, and avoid tapping the harness. This way, you reduce your exposure if you wish to change this later. $10

    Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure this would achieve what I intent to do. I'm not replacing the head unit and implementing the product your are referring to would require splicing wires.

    Try this one instead: Taco Tunes has the harness your looking for Additionally ASC makes one.
