Good Afternoon

Can anybody tell me which wires lead to the rear speakers in the harnesses that go into the rear doors of a 2008 Chev Equinox with a premium stereo?

Is there an easier spot to tap into the rears to connect an amp?

Any idea of a good spot to tap into a 12V+ for a remote switch wire?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have no idea where you can get a remote turn on wire for your amplifier.

It's probably going to be a week long, long weekend. Thanks for the time off Gustav

hmmmm, any other possibilities?

I don't see this colour combo leading into either of the rear doors.
I do have a yellow /brown on the ride sight, but not a light /dark blue pair on either side.

I'm assuming the left / right side is based on looking forward in the vehicle, correct?

I figure I have wires for door locks, power windows, (maybe alarm wires) and speaker wires leading into the door but I don't want to start cutting until I'm sure.

Did you look behind the factory subwoofer? It is in the right rear corner of the vehicle. If you find the amp, you should be able to get to the wires there.

I thought about that, but I'm not sure how to get at it. The cover comes off of the sub, but that's as far as I can get.
The truck is only a week old and i don't want to screw it up!
