Is it direct plug and play or is there splicing involved?
What other inexpensive methods are there for connecting the factory deck to aftermarket amp? I dont really wana spend 350$ on a jl cleansweep

 

there's a Low level line converter available, that taps off of your rear speakers and gives you an RCA output; available at wal-mart -- brand = scosche.. ive used one before, works alright; until you get a better hu or amp..


my amp on the other hand, has a high level input - just tap the rear speaker output... actually sounds pretty good.

 

just looked at your link; there's splicing - exactly the item im talking about at wal-mart as well -- works the same IMHO..they all are "soso"

 

Do you have a wiring diagram aviaible so I know what to splice?

 

I used the same box for my wrx.. works pretty decent. the easiest way to use this box is to get the fold over spade terminals. you just clamp on to the speaker output on the back of the radio harness, then make a short lead to go to the box.

 

You could just stick RCA ends on your factory speakerwires and plug them into your amp. Just turn the amp gain all of the way down to begin with.
