Not against splicing but if it can be avoided and ripping apart dash avoided, that's a huge plus. If I wanted to use your first recommendation I'd have to access the back of the head unit also to run a sub and amp right?
I would hook a line out converter to the signals coming out of the door sub amp, which is in the drivers footwell. That why you only get the bass signal going to the sub.

No the first option could be done by tapping the rear speakers under the rear deck. But you would still need to find a 12 volt signal for the remote. So possibly yes you would have to go behind the radio anyway. The second option has a remote turn on wired into the loc. As with anything just let me know how I can help and I will.

This is a good idea. I did this for a time, but now I have it hooked up to the rear speakers due to easy access. I also have it running through a bass epicenter to restore the bass signal.

Tapping into the rear speakers sounds like the best idea. I think I can find a 12v RTO source elsewhere besides the radio...can you still pinch behind the fuses?

So for the baselink all I'd have to do is tap into the speakers?

And run power from the battery and a ground somewhere in the trunk.


Use an add-a-tap on a 12v switch power source for the RTO. The passenger footwell fuse box has a few.
