I already bought the line converter. I just need to know what color wires I need to tap into behind the stereo? I bought one you can adjust. Im just gonna run 1 sub in the back so its easy to take in and out if I need to. Probably gonna put velcro on the bottom so it doesnt slide around in the back.

Thanks in Advance!

Have you looked in here: Do It Yourself (top questions and answers) FAQ's for the schematics. Don't forget to pull the factory amplifier!

You don't really need to pull the factory amplifier.
if you just tap into the wires down by the amplifier before they go into it, you should be good. Thats what I did before I just swapped out my stock stereo for an aftermarket one.
just make sure you run your power wires on one side of the car, and your signal wires on the other side of the car, otherwise you'll get interference (which will then be amplified, and its just annoying)

I really wish I remembered what wires they were...but, I did this over a year ago, so no dice.
The velcro idea would work good, personally I was to lazy to do anything, and lucky for me, my sub box fit PERFECTLY between my third row and the tailgate door, so I just let the seat push it against the door. Held it in place pretty good...but thats just me (and I'm pretty lazy )

I was going to tap into the wires before the amp directly behind the stereo (unless theres a better/easier way) and since the adapter has adjustments on it, I was going to add extra wires and run it down and hide it behind the front of the console so I can adjust it if I need to. I know about running power and signal wires seperately. Ive done stereo work before, just never on a Stock stereo.

P.S.>> The link for the wire schematic doesnt work.
