Default 2014 audio question

Wanting to hook my amp back up to my jl door speakers like I had in my 2011. Well the Pac I had doesn't fit my 2014. I've done some research and i couldn't find anyone that makes something similar to that for a 2014. Anyone have any info on how I can hook it back up or if there is a different wiring harness? i have sync with the small screen. Thanks.

There is no simple answer. Youre either going to have to cut the factory speaker wires or build a harness like described in the thread i linked to. The PAC unit wont work on the 13 and 14 with the screen, and I dont know if they are planning a solution for us. They didnt even know their unit wouldnt work until I contacted them

So like tapping into the wires and using a step down to plug the rcas into would work?

If you tap in youll have to run all new speaker wire into the doors. Depending on whether you have molex connectors at the doors thats difficult. If you were just adding a sub I'd say tap, but since you are wanting to amp your doors I would look at getting a harness. That way you can use the factory wires going into the doors

I wouldn't use the factory speaker wires regardless..right? I'll have the rcas from the back of the radio to the amp. Then speaker wires from the amp to the speakers. Thats how it was set up on my old truck

Lots of people connect back into the factory speaker wires to get into the doors. Much easier than running new wires, especially if you have molex connectors to deal with. The way i understand it Dearborn built trucks have molex while Kansas City trucks dont

Ah I gotcha. Mine has the rubber but I didn't find it to hard to run the wire through

If m8ne didnt have molex i would definitely run new wire, but 8ll probably end up tapping hack into the factory wiring so i dont have to deal with the molex
