Best bet is to rewire the speakers straight from the back of the deck. Using the OEM wires will only make things harder.

Would this mean running new wiring for speakers into doors and to rear deck?

I plan on removing OEM amp and replace it with new amp. Could I use existing wires in the trunk as well as the remote wire from exisisting harness?

thanks.

You could do it one of various ways. If you want to save time or if your not a patient person, you can run the outputs for the speakers from the new amp to the outputs of the OEM amplifier. You would be using OEM wiring, but this would eliminate the need to run new wires to the speakers directly.

Thanks for the info Jeff.

All I have to do now is figure out the wiring in the harness which brings me back to my original question.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram or know what wire does what on the OEM amp harness?

Thanks.

as long as you are using it for a separate application what does it matter? take 1 wire label it on both ends and use it for whatever you want... does it matter whether you use pink/black as remote turn on or blue / YELLOW? as far as figuring out whats what at the output of the OEM amp, grab a meter and start popping, shouldnt take more than 5-10 minutes to identify and label the speaker wires......
