Pretty easy to make your own wire harness. All you need are some male ends to plug into the wire ends that fit on the speakers and some female ends to connect the amp back to the speakers. Just tap into the cigar lighter (orange wire ) to run your remote wire. Run 2 separate 10 ga. Wires back to the battery for amp power/ground.

Thanks for the info....worked out well...I guess I could have probably figured that out...its all hooked up and running great.... does anyone have any idea how to access the rear speakers...the radio has the second plug on the back but nothing is connected to it...thanks again for any help...

If I'm not mistaken you'll have to go to the dealer and have them unlock the other speakers. They'll hook the computer system up and do it. They usually don't charge for this, but every dealer is different.

Also of course the easier way to do this is to use a four channel amp. You'll just use all four of the outputs.

can I use all 4 outputs with only 2 inputs...that being front left and right...are you saying I can use the rear outputs just with the inputs hooked up on the front

No that won't work, you'll have to split the input signal. Then you will be without fader options.

if I did this theoretically I could adjust my gain on the amp for my lower speakers { which would be connected to rear on the amp} and really never have to use the fader? pretty new to this stuff...

You are correct, but that's technically not what the gain is used for.
