However, you will probably run into another problem. When the radio senses a DSP amp in the car, it changes its behavior from what a normal car radio does. It feeds full volume, line level signals to the amp. All of the volume, balance, and fader level adjustments occur within the DSP amp and not the radio. So, anything you connect to those audio feeds will blast at full volume.
Thank you for the info, Brian. I will disable the DSP the way Ken (from Avincar) did by unplugging the DSP amp, disconnecting battery and reconnecting battery, the DSP option will disappear. Then tap into these front line speakers using male to 2 female RCA cable, plug these RCA cable into a Ground Loop Isolator (I use Jensen ISOMAX-CI2RR as recommended by Ken) and I have my full-range pre-amp output. According to Ken, the volume, balance and steering wheel controls are still usable with this method.
