you could always grab signal at the factory sub if you have one, if not each pair of speaker wires are typically twisted together, brown is always negative. you'll need a full range signal, not from a tweeter output, so unplug the harness from the amp and pop the door speakers with a 9 volt battery with some leads. the mid woofers typically have heavier gauge wire than the tweeters.

thanks for the help. I shall see if i can make it done. I will take a picture if i dont figure it out. All i have read at the forum it had been a 12 pin or 42 pin. Mine is 54
