MECP?!?! And you're wanting to hack your way through this job? For shame...
Not only that, but MECP?!?! And you can't figure it out for yourself? I know we all occasionally need help, but as a person trained in the industry, you KNOW the proper way to do it. Before you hack the thing to death, buy a harness... Do it right.
If your goal is to bypass all of the factory stuff, why not just make it easy on yourself, and run new wires to the speaker locations... No drilling required. Put the wires through the door connectors, and be done with it. There is a VERY GOOD sticky (I think it's still there) explaining just how to do this.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

It's called a Molex connector. https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~78731~PN~1 A few punctianon marks might make you posts a little easier to read, too. ------------- Support the12volt.com
