Another sub upgrade thread

Hey everyone, I've searched as much as I can and I've seen people do things that seem close to what I want to do but I'm not sure if it's the same. I've looked at the thread where the guy put a pioneer sub in the stock housing and ran a separate amp to it and want to do something similar.

The stock sub harness obviously has 4 wires running through it so my question is:

Can I somehow just cut the signal wires from the harness (I don't know which ones these are so please help me with that) and splice them into an amp converter to plug in rca's into the amp?

I'd like to do this just because it seems more simple than having to splice into my actual speakers

I'm not sure if you can do a Line Out Converter off the sub wires but what I woud do is just run the Line Out Converter off the rear speaker wires from behind the deck since you will have to hook up the remote/ignition wire for the amp back there anyways and you'll know it's a good connection/signal. Just unplug the factory sub harness and run your new speaker wire from new amp.

I wanted to avoid that if I could, the previous owner already ran the remote wire actually. But he messed up everything else so I already did away with that and went back to stock. lol I was hoping to avoid cutting anything else and keep it neat in one location

just use all 4 the stock sub has 2 reds and 2 blacks going to it. u just have to pick a red and pick a black 50/50 chance u have 1 channel if not then try the other black and use the remaining red/black for the other side. left right really doesnt matter so much on a sub but having them both is good
