I have a 2013 and after reading, those cables do not with with my truck. And I'm not splicing into the wires. I bought the metra adapters for the speakers I have have cables with just wire on the copper wire at the end. I was going to connect the sub audio into that connection.

^^ the above wire taps blow big donkey *****. will always be the cause of a problem they will become loose and lose contact with the wires, just a cheap. not a good source of audio quality either. go to pacaudio and buy a amp addition wiring adapter that will turn the audio signals to rca. will never have a problem. they sell the amplifier integration adapters on ebay for like 30 bucks and it will give you a amp remote wire.

PAC is also a good option. I've been using these connections for years and have never had an issue. Of course a little electrical tape to keep them snug is recommended.

I will always stay away from those scotch locks. We had a shop trailer and it kept getting shorts due to these letting moisture in. Unforently factory's don't add electrical tape over these. I've just had really bad experiences with them. The PAC wire harness doesn't work for my model year.
I still plan on running the high out put speaker wires through the rubber boot and through the floor channel back to the subs. I still haven't found how to remove the plastic piece that runs up and down the side of the cab between the drivers and passengers door. I hoping the just shove the wore through and they will fall down to where I can get them.

So I bought 2 used sound ordnance b-8ptd powered subwoofers. As an FYI I am keeping my stock head unit and not installing an amp. No cords or cables came with the woofer. I plan on splicing into the rear speakers for the audio. On the sub is a high power input area. The speaker wire won't plug in there directly. I need some kind of adapter any one know it is????
I called crutchfield before I bought these and asked the guy for everything I need since the subs have not cords with them. Called them back and I got "we don't sell that cord sucks to be you".
