When I put in My amp and Cd Player I used a wiring harness to do the wiring. It had a Remote lead on it and I just tapped it. Everything else hits this wire, Both amps and crossover. I just daisy chained it.

Hey Jackal,
where exactly is that wire you are talking about? I'm using the stock head unit, so no remote wire.

Do you have the tools to take your factory head out? If not, get some, if you do...pull it out, disconntect both harnesses, and strip the tape back from the larger harnesss. You'll find a black wire with a pink stripe on it. That's what you'll want to tap into. Also, do you plan on using a line level converter, high level inputs, or RCA's? I can help you find the wires on a Super Cab to tap into if you are using the high level input on the amp.

hey guys,
thanks for the info. I'll use RTKILLA's suggestion till the weekend and then I'll pull the radio out again. I checked it once but it was dark, in a hurry, you know how it goes.
