Adding sub to standard stereo
Hi Guys,
ok I have an old Pioneer TS-W1201C and Rockford Fosgate bd500.1 amp that I would like to install.
Now I would have normally jacked the rear speakers and used that as the input for a line converter but the rear speakers arn't on the rear shelf, but in the door.
Which makes it a bit harder.
I have noticed that there are some wiring harness's going from the HU to the drivers chair to the "sub" location for a "SSS" model (I assume)
Has anyone played with these existing cable-runs to see if you can get a Line level signal FROM the stock HU to the rear of the car?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

so I saw the sticky about adding a new deck with stock amp.
it looks like C107 (plugs into the deck) runs to under the drivers seat (D30)
So can I just patch the D30 connector into the D29 connector (also under the drivers seat) which connects back to the F26 connector (in the boot).
So I basically run "front left + and -", "front right + and -" wires (4 in total) from the deck to the boot - and then do my line convertor + amp + sub setup.
Anyone see a problem with this?

Remote on for the sub:
I will use the +12v from my "tail park lights" for the RemoteOn on the sub.
I drive with my headlights on 100% of the time anyways.
Means less wiring around the car

Hrmm..
well I took the passenger seat out (RHD passenger seat = LHD driver seat) BUT there is no D30 or D29 connector.
I have D31/32/33 but not 30/29...
it seems strange that mitsu would have 2 wiring setup's just for SSS vs standard sound
