re: aftermarket sub amp wiring through stock sub wires
i have been wanting to do the same thing. Quadratec sells a plug and play unit that includes a box, amp, and speaker but like you I already have the speakers, amp, and box. I read the installation instructions and it looks like if you already have the factory sub then all you have to do is run a power, ground, and tap into the sub wiring. They include a harness to do this....which is all i would be needing....wonder if anybody sells just the harness???
I am going to best buy today to buy the scosche unit, and will let you know how it turns out; I have already run the power, remote turn on and rca's to front, just need the adapter to hook it up. (will provide pics today)....
Excited

Welcome to my nightmare. I was planning a very simular install RES, PDX-5, and Polk speakers.
I called PAC and since I was planning on replacing the factory amp and running all new speaker wires. The tech rep suggested the aoem chr3, about $50.
Once everything was installed I turned on to test and the only speakers that would play were the sound bars. There was no control over volume (either max or off), balance, fade,etc.
I called tech support back and was told that after talking to the engineers that the c2a-chy2 would fix the balance, fade, volume issues, but give me no audio control.
I ended up purchasing a new head unit and all is now working.
