back speaker wires....where?
I'm gonna install my amp under the seat (one of the front seats, probably the passenger side). I figure the easiest way to power the rear speakers from the amp is to tap into the factory wires on their way to the back of the car. So, where are they routed, anyone know?
Thanks,
Scott

Actually the easiest way it to tap in to the adapter and just run the wires to the amp...that way you are not messing with the factory stuff...this is what I did and it took me the same amount of time that it would've to only run the rca to your amp...the speaker wires and rca cable can fit in the kick panel there is massive room.... :lol:

right speaker should be red and white (red being positive) and
the left speaker should be black and yellow (black being positive.)

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I think mypursuit means to wire it off of the the plug in the dash where you hook up your radio. This is a great idea, and I never thought of that. That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

can you specify a little more. what do you mean tap into the adapter?

Another idea..If you dont want to cut into the factory wiring, go to best buy and get a toyota harness and a reverse harness and make your own Y adapter without splicing into any factory wiring...
The part numbers are Metra 70-1761 and 71-1761.

the wiring harness....ding ding ding
thats what I meant. I used the shrinking solder connecters to tie everything into the harness ran the extra speaker wires and rca to the amp via the passanger side moulding (fit with no problem, there is a center channel thingy that they all fit into perfectly) and they ran it under the seat/carpet to the little vent thingy under the seat. No cutting the carpet or anything...looks clean and tidy... :o

the center channel thingy is under the side kick panel thingy....when you step out of the Xb. Not the ac...unless you are playing some really "cool" tunes. Sorry I had to put that in there...get it "cool" a/c...nevermind.
