Sub wiring issue
Sub wiring issue
so a little while ago i had some subs and a plug n play from PAC audio installed they ran my audio cables from the sub amp to the base knob then to some line output converters over to the kick panel where the factory amp is and spliced into some wires from the 14 p connector that runs from the head unit. i bought 2 two channel Line output converters for my 4 channel amp i recently installed connected them together to make a 4 channel hookup i cut all the wires from the 14 p black connector and basically dont know what to do with them..
"14p from the head unit" is XM receiver connector not sure if it IS black
why on earth would you splice into it?
the 14p that's on the factory amp, doesn't come from the HU, and is for sure grey, runs to the speakers would have been the one to splice into
but if your amps take balanced pre-amp signal an even better way to do it would be to splice into the BLACK 20p on the stock amp that's the signal directly from the HU

okay first off... i didnt know we were in english class douche.. its a car forum not an essay... anyways... i aint talking about the xm radio can u not comprehend.. yea that 14 p might be connector to it but i will break it down again. a shop installed my subs and they spliced into to the 14 p FOR MY SUBWOOFERS to.. so look up audio edge in bossier city and ask why they did it if its so unheard of.. I dont see anything in my previous post asking why my xm doesnt work so yea my post title was right .. but thanx for your useless input also.. the 3 wires they tapped into the yellow/ black and the green/red the remote wire went to a red/ yellow.. Im just trying to figure out where to run those 3 wires.. I installed a highs and mids amp.. put more line output converters on there its a 4 channel amp so i grabbed two 2 channel line output converters.. the converters are all in the kick panel where the factory amp was located.. if you have some info on where to run those wires id appreciate it...

ever heard of fast, good and cheap not mixing well?
clueless, arrogant and incoherent don't either ...
but i'll take another swing at it, just to prove that we are, buying large, try to be helpful around here
the colors you have called out are from a 14p connector that is on the output side of the stock amp (not the stock HU like you've said earlier), and they are subwoofer +,- and, like you've said, the remote turn on (from the 20p amp harness)
IF you want to use the output of the stock amp you will need to use LOCs like you have correctly assumed, you will however have to tap into more wires if you need more than a sub to be amped
14p stock amp output harness:
front left - purple
front left + LT green
front right - red
front right + blue
center - blue/yellow
center + green/white
rear left - red/yellow
rear left + brown/white
rear right - yellow
rear right + red/blue
that, or if had searched you may have found https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-audio-bluetooth-electronics-navigation-94/high-low-converter-604555/
that has the diagrams you need
hope this answers whatever you were asking

Oh, and to let you know, putting "..." in between thoughts isn't much better then what you posted earlier.
We will be happy to help if you drop the attitude and make it easy for us to understand what you are asking.
A person's knowledge of English gets them judged in life, not just in class Dayvid. Insulting long standing members of the forum will get you judged even more harshly. You are welcome here if you can fit in and hopefully abirvalg answered your question. If not, then maybe someone else can chime in or better yet, you can do a forum search for the answer yourself!

My bad for talking shit but hey you could have kept your snood comments to yourself in the first place and we wouldnt even had a problem.. If you are not talking about the issue, and not my english, I'd appreciate it if you'd just take a sip of shut the f##k up... I apologize to those who care..
abirvalg thanks for the wiring info.. Its my first time doing this and hell I dont wanna mess anything up.. I found the factory diagram but honestly I been over thinking a lot and second guessing myself.. I got my highs and mids in, hooked up, and works fine.. I just couldn't figure out what to do with those wires off the 14p.. so just to be 100% on your reply, I should connect those wires from the 14p to the wires off the 20p or what? I appreciate the help by all means ..

you lost me again 
are those wires connected to anything?
with factory install the 2 signal wires run from 14p on the stock amp to the sub in the rear deck
with an aftermarket setup they need to go from 14p to LOC to an aftemarket sub amp
the remote has to do the same, but it comes from 20p
if your sub works, be it a factory one or an aftermarket, then everything is connected fine

We would love to help you bro, but we have no idea what's going on inside your car. Someone asked for clarification and you blasted them. That's not usually a good approach towards people who would want to help lol. Could you be more clear about what the setup is and what you're having trouble with?
