hooking up amp and sub to factory system

I have the factory pioneer system with sub and was wondering if there is any way to tap into the existing subs wiring instead of using a high to low converter

Line out converter, tap into stock sub and connect the wires to the line out converter, then line out converter to amp. Done.

you can also use the plug that comes with the amp (usually looks like a big plastic phone plug with wires hanging out of it)....and disregard the line out put..or just run wire to RCA's from the factory sub as well

^^^ ct is refering to the high level inputs available on some amplifiers. Either the high levels if offered or the LOC off the sub wires works fine

So I can get this Line out converter for my LS aswell right? Im wondering does it sound decent? How would I go about running a remote on for the amplifier? Im trying to leave the factory radio because it seems as if there is no aftermarket radio installed if you look into the windows.

yeah i pulled my car apart, in both door boots (passenger is easier) its a thick gauge yellow , (looks almost faded to white) will rest at 12v until you open the door then goes to 0v and if you turn the car off it stays off. its what allows your radio to stay on after the car is off and th door is closed, open the door and it shuts off.
