Hey guys,
I've been enjoying spending far too much time after work here on the forums reading up about upgrading my system. So I purchased an MS 8 and had it installed in my old car. Now I've upgraded to this 2005 TSX and I'm looking to take advantage of my equipment.
I want to tap off of the Stock HU and then bypass the stock amp and with the MS8 then tap back into the speaker wire harness so I don't need to re-run wires out to all the speakers.

So far I've purchased the PAC adapter below

So my first question was about rewiring this adapter. I think it will be required for it to work correctly.
What pins need to be rearranged?
I will take the FL and FR RCA from the adapter as the input to the MS8 and then use the MS8's powered outputs to power the speakers
CH Speaker
12 FL 2way
34 FR 2way
5 RL Door
6 RR Door
7 Rear 6x9s (I'm I correct that they come from a single set of wired from the factory amp?)

Next I'm looking for where to purchase a female 14 pin wire harness to interface with the male speaker harness that was originally output from the rear of the factory amp.

Also I've been having trouble slipping my power wire through the stock grommet in the center of the firewall. Are there any tricks that would help me out with this?

Thanks in advance,

Zak

I think the rear 6x9's are two independent channels. I used ch 7 and ch 8 for 6x9s.

I made an incision in the stock grommet to thread the power cable and used high temp caulking to seal it back up. Others probably have better suggestions.

I don't know about the wiring harness. I've heard that generic 0.1" pin headers may fit and then you could make your own... maybe.

Good luck!
