2011 base audio wire tap / install

drmdvl · 08-03-2011, 01:58 AM

Hi Guys,
Only found the wire diagrams for the L7 and Hi Fi.

What are the front channel wire colors from the base audio in the coupe?
Can I tap them under the floor trim by the seat where the wires go to the subs - to connect my processor and amp? Dont want to pull the HU from the dash.

Thanks...

I just did this, yes you can. If you just pull the carpet up a little towards the front of the car you will see which wires run towards the door, those power the midrange in the door. The others stop at the woofer. Sorry I do not remember the colors. The two left wires are positive for the sub and for the midrange, and the two respective right side wires in the sub connector are negative for the sub and midrange. Sorry if that's unclear.

I believe technic has a harness for that system if you are hooking up and amp.
