Wiring harness 2012 Challenger

Ok, please bear with me, I got a question and I have not been able to find an answer.

I will be installing a couple of amps and speakers in my challenger using the existing HU. I don't want to cut wires and want to keep the harness intact. What I want to do is get a harness adapter to the radio and a reverse harness adapter to the main harness. In other words, an extension per se, only that the speaker leads will not be connected and instead I will be running them straight to a JL Cleansweep.

I have not been able to find a harness adapter, I called Crutchfield and they recommended tapping the harness at the radio and Best Buy had no idea and they referred me to Autozone (What ever). Anyone run into this issue? A search led me to the Metra 71-6522 which plugs into the OEM HU and it looks like it will work, how ever, I can't find the the mirror harness that plugs into the main harness. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

dart.

just strip back the insulation, and solder them in if you ever want to take it out cut the added wires, and tape them up, no harm.

My intent is to avoid cutting the original harness unless absolutely necessary.

Thank you again,
