I'm installing a line out into my factory radio so I can use my stock radio for my amplifier and sub.
I have my subwoofer and amp installed already.

The wiring diagrams I came across are very confusing and inaccurate.
And I do not know from which set of wire behind the head unit is actually the set I should be looking through them for. A photograph would definitely help also with which is the REAR speakers positive and negative and also where I should connect my radio signal to as well.

Also heard I could directly connect them to the rear speakers them self... How would that would? And which would work best? Thank you.

Thanks for the wiring diagram.
I ended up looking over everything again and began to understand where I went wrong.
Fortunately I can now I have a better understanding about wiring for stereos.
Using an aftermarket stereo would've been MUCH simpler. But having the factory stereo is the way to go.
