Hi guys. First thank you to everyone on this forum for the incredible info on upgrading the audio. I have a set of Kicker CS speakers, a kicker key amp, and a JBL Bass Pro Micro.
I need help with two things since this is the first time I've messed with an install since the 90's.
First up, the wires coming from the head unit. I successfully removed all of the trim thanks to the instructions from the board, and here is what I am looking at
Do I just start unwrapping the tape along the horizontal path there and will it reveal the output harness? I am looking for the harness or place where I can access all of the outputs to then feed to my amp.
2. Most people have said that when they are installing a woofer / amp, that they are "tapping into the kick panel speakers for the signal". Can anyone explain to me exactly what is going on with that?
2b. My original plan was to wire from the head unit to the kicker key and power the front four speakers (plan is to run wire directly from the kicker key to the front four speakers) and let the head unit power the rear pods. Where I am confused is that someone told me to get an in-line converter and run it to the bass amp in the back. I'm just not sure if this route or tapping into the kick panel speakers are better ways to go about things.
Any help is appreciated guys, thanks so much!
