Hey guys, quick question about running signal wires to my amp. First off, I'm adding a kicker 400.1 amp and a 10" CVT sub to the existing HU and Sony system. I have the whole thing wired up and installed except for the signal wires. I scoured the forums and read a lot of different things that people have done, but I still have a couple questions:

1. Should I run signal from the rear/front speakers, or the Sony amp?

2. Do I need any type of LOC or other type of converter since I already have the Sony amp? My amp can also accept speaker level inputs.

3. If I don't need an LOC/other converter, how do I tap the signal wires and change them to RCA inputs for the amp?

Thank you so much!

You should have the factory sub. Use the wiring at the sub, its a low level single.
Pin 7 & 8

The 2009 & 2010 should be the same.

So should I only use one RCA cable? how do I convert those + and - wires to a left and right RCA input for the amp?

It is already low level so just add an rca plug

So does this mean separating the inside of the RCA wire and connecting the outside to negative (green/white) and the middle to positive (violet/green)?

I'd use something like this: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...tml?from=3-332 the screw connector are a lot easer that the solder on ones.

You'd use half of it then get a Y-spliter to make the mono single to two channels. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...on-RCAY2M.html

HA! now were talkin! That's exactly what I need. Just ordered it. Hopefully it'll work like a charm since it's already a low level input. Am I still going to get the bass reduction at higher volumes?

Yes. That is built in to the factory processor.
