Wire harness question
Hi Everyone!
I have a 2011 GTS with the regular radio (non-rockford), I want to keep that and add an amp for a 10inch sub. I plan to use a LOC and tap into the rear speakers from behind the head unit. I am leery of splicing right into the factory wires so here is what I plan to do. Get two wire harnesses, 1 factory and 1 aftermarket (e.g. Metra part #s 71-7005 and 70-7005) and solder/connect the wires together. This would essentially create an extension cable for the factory harness.
From there I would splice into my extension cable for the LOC. What do you guys think about doing something like that? If I royally mess something up at least I've only ruined the extension and not anything on the factory wires.
Thoughts??
