Upgrading from Kicker Soundstage
Well, my son turns 16 in Oct and he will be driving our 2013 XLT 4X4 Ecoboost SuperCrew. Of course I wanted him to have decent sound so I got the Kicker Soundstage with the door speakers, mids/highs amp, subwoofer and amp etc. Unfortunately, I just can't leave well enough alone so I first upgraded the pillar tweeters with JL Audio C5 tweeters. Then I removed the Kicker speakers and sold them to a buddy and replaced with JL Audio C2 6"x8"'s. Now I am going to try and sell the rest of the Kicker Soundstage stuff and will be installing an Alpine 500w Sub amp, a JL Audio TW1 12" sub, I have an old Memphis Audio 50w x 4ch amp and an Audio Control LC7i.
I really don't want to cut factory wiring so I thought about buying a male and a female plug to simply pull out signals I need then rewire the amp into the factory wiring to the door speakers. Is there by some chance a product out there already with both the male and female adapters? Thanks for the help.
P.S. If anyone wants to buy the Kicker Soundstage less the Kicker door speakers just message me!!! Used less than 1 year.

I assume you have the factory sony amp if you're concerned about cutting factory wires? I used to have the same thought process but it really isn't a big deal.
Here is my build thread for a 2013 with sony:

PS: you'll probably be really surprised just how much of an upgrade it will be over the kicker system by using a better amp and your own speakers.
