wiring subs into the stock wiring and stock radio?

[2006fijibluesi]

i want to wire my 2 12's and amp to my stock radio i havent even had the time to look at the car but it should jsut be run a power ground and splice for the remote wire adn jsut hook up a line out converter to the wiring on the rear deck,i did this on a mustang with a mach 460 system and it worked really well am i correct in these steps and again might i add i havent even looked at the car yet lol

yea it will work. but for me, running my subs off my rear speakers does not sit well. so im sorry to thread jack, but is there any way i can hookup my subs to the stock radio using my rca cables instead of taping into the rear speakers? even better, could i control my 2 12"s with the built in sub controller for that poor excuse for a sub on my rear deck

All you need to do is take your line-output converter and splice the positive and negative leads together. You can then connect those to the factory subwoofer amplifier INPUTS on your factory amplifier in the center console/dash.

I am doing this with my car, and I have done it with numerous other vehicles and it is a nice little feature that many people are surprised by and love.

If you decide not to do this, simply go behind the radio and tag your line-output converter to your front speaker wires.

going into the factory amp sub input will give me sound and sub control? and i still need the rca converter? i havent looked but im assuming that the factory amp doesnt use rca inputs?

no the factory amp is a series of plugs with amp inputs/outputs.

If your are just trying to get signal to an amplifier for your subwoofer, then yes, a line output converter tapped off the factory subwoofer inputs will give you the correct signal to be able to still utilize factory sub control with your aftermarket sub.
