Hey everyone, i am installing a system and i bought a converter. I plan on splicing directly into the rear speakers; only problem is i need to know which one is ground and which one is positive. There is one red/blue wire and the other is just yellow. I am guessing the yellow one is ground, i just want to make sure and any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

lol...there aren't any grounds on our speaker systems...our system is not a common grounded system...negative is the proper terminology

and...if you're adding a subwoofer...y don't you tap off of the factory subwoofer leads?

I've been trying to figure out the best way to tap into the signal from the subwoofer so that I can feed it into my amp. Originally I was going to just use a speaker level to line level converter (do I even need this? since the output was designed for a 2-ohm driver, maybe I can wire it directly into my amp since the voltage should be quite low for a low power amp), but then I found a post here that someone tapped into something near the stock amp?

Also, where should I tap-in for the amp turn-on signal? I thought about using the brake lights since I drive with my headlights on so if they're on, the amp's on. Maybe I should tap into something near the stock amp?
