I just did this EXACT same swap two weeks ago and that's exactly what you need. The installer I spoke to though said I needed a 5k ohm .5 watt resistor. I couldn't find one at Radio Shack, but did find one that was 4.6k and .5 watt. It worked out perfectly.

Granted I replaced all the speakers and swapped the stock sub and amp this week though. It did sound very good without it, but I just wanted something that sounded a little bit better than the stock speakers and sub.

Just an FYI on the JVC.....it only has one RCA port for the sub. So make sure you buy a Y splitter so that you can Y the two RCA's down to the one out on the JVC double din deck. Also on that sub harness, it has two remote wires. Solder them together and then to one end of the resistor and then the other end of the resistor to the remote wire coming out of the JVC deck.

That was just a few things I wish I had known before I installed it. Just a few small tips that hopefully can make it easier on you if you are doing it yourself. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
