So I bought a line output converter so I could wire up my sub's and now I feel lost. Witch wire's do I need to splice into???? I've tried searching and the only answers I found left me more confused. I have the deck out right now and everything I need ready to go as soon I know exactly what wires to splice.

Here are the directions that came with the line output converter:
"Connect the Gray (+) and Gray/Black stripe wires (-) to the right speaker output. Connect the White (+) and White/Black (-) to the left speaker output. if the speaker outputs of the radio have only one negative lead, connect both of the negative wires to it."

I'll even take pictures if it helps.

Tap into the front speaker leads, not the rears. I don't think it matters which one, only that the sides accurate

I spliced into the connector shown on the first post of the thread. I would not try to go behind the deck, you literally have to take apart the entire dash to get there

I'm about to do this so just use the front speakers and splice into the wires behind the deck?

Please stop me if I'm about to do some unnecessary cutting of wires

Yeah I have no idea. The first post on the linked thread has the right wires. Basically follow what they do but instead of pulling out the wires and swapping them tap them. Its in the driver side panel thing

Less then $40 for a amp, a box, 2 12's and all the wiring minus the converter. I don't see what's wrong with that.

Pioneer and idk I gave my friends little brother a few bucks for them after he got then at a garage sale. I got the amp out of a car I helped part out and scrap and the box came from a reins who transferred his system to a truck and needed a truck box. All low end used stuff that I picked up over the course of a year you can find awesome deals if you aren't in a hurry
