Hello all,

I am wiring up a powered sub and need to hook up the high-level input from my rear speakers to the input of the amp. I am not replacing my factory unit at all, so I just need to tap in to the speakers for signal input. Any help on wire colors would be great. I think I found the wire bundles on each side that have the speaker wires in them; now I just need some clarification.

Thanks!

Well, I figured it out. So, if anyone ever needs this info, here are the color codes and easiest access location for the wires:

Left (drivers) rear speaker: Pos(+) red/white. Neg (-) brown/white. Located in the lower post right next to the front drivers seat. They are braided together.
Right (passenger) rear speaker: Pos(+) Red/purple. Neg (-) Brown/purple. Located in the lower post right next to the passenger front seat. They are also braided together.

I have photos if needed.

I hope this helps!
