That sounds fine, although don't cut the wires in your car's wiring harness, get the Metra or Schoshe wiring harness adapters for your car. Get both the "into car" and the "into radio" harnesses, and then you can use those wires for your splices and not have to damage the car's wiring.

I agree with customsuburb, pretty much any LOC is the same as any other. Just make sure the one you have is rated to handle the power output from your OEM head unit (which I suspect it is.)

So this is it...I am installing an amp on an existing OEM head unit. I have a G35 sedan, base model...no amp. I am adding MTX 895, which will power my four speakers and small 10 in. sub. I must add a LOC. I will cut from the back of my HU the wires that lead to all four speakers and then crimp them to the LOC leads. From there I will have twisted RCA jacks to the amp. From there I will run new 16 guage speaker wire back to the speaker. If this sounds good let me know.

ALSO, I have a Schoshe LOC. Should I buy PAC or what do you recoommend. Thanks.

NO, that does NOT sound good. You do NOT need to cut the wires, just tap into them. Strip some of the speaker wires' insulation off, and connect the LOC wires directly to the bare wire. You should NOT be CUTTING anything.

stratusfear why shouldn't he cut anything. You never gave a reason why its not ok. He wants to crimp it, and I can't see someone crimping wire without cutting it. Even if you don't cut it right now you will if you want to remove the LOC from the vehicle. JUST cut it and crimp and never look back.
