Installing amp without RCA and remote wire?

[lilyungn]

Hi, I have a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE, it came with a navigation unit in the front, I am trying to install a JL Audio sound system...a W7 Sub with a jl audio 1000/1 amp. I dont want to take out the whole dash as its a new car or mess the navi up, someone told me that I can do something with the wires off the rear speakers to hook them up into the amp so I dont have to take the front out. Does anyone know how this procedure works, if there is any difference in doing this, and if it's worth it. Also im assuming the car comes with a factory amp because it has a JBL sound system in it. By doing that method will it interfere with the factory amp.

i bought a device that uses your left and right speakers could be front or back. You hook up a neg. and pos. for both sides, so either you loose two speakers or drastically loose output out of two of your speakers. I was going to do it until i realized his rear speakers were in his doors so i told him to buy a new hu. If you are willing to sacrifice two of your speakers than go for it. If not get a new deck.

this "little" device is called a lineout converter to take your high level input -(your door speakers) and it makes it a low level input. as far as your remote line, you could grab an accessory off your ign. coloum, thats the easiest way besides pulling your radio/navi out. other then that you need a remote turn on line to turn the amp on. hope i helped...
