wire to RCA?

How do I convert output from HU wires to RCA to connect my JL600/6 AMP?

the technic harness works best, but you can also source speaker wire to rca connectors from jl audio and rockford fosgate to name a couple.

I was trying to get it from him, but no answer, yet, so maybe his not selling it any more?

An alternative;

I don't recall which of these parts you'll 'need' but having both ended up being useful to me...

Housing part# (x2): 61136901731
Pin Contacts part# : 61138364835

and/or

Socket part# (x2): 61136984750
socket contacts part# : 61138364838

I forget which (Socket/Housing = male/female ends for the speaker wires under your seats), but you can connect to the one end that gets a signal from the head unit, take the two wires in the middle and run that back to the amplifier. (I believe, pins 2 and 3?) The outer two wires (pins 1 and 4?) are the wires that run from the amplifier to the door speakers.

Obviously, you need left/right (hence, why I specified x2)

So once you have the speaker wires run back to the amplifier area, take the two pairs of speaker wires and connect them to something that cleans up your head unit's signal (like an MS-8) before getting that to your amplifier.

Thank you for the tips!
