dont use a high low adapter. Splice in some female rca's into the back of the head unit into the rr and rl wires and then the grounds to the common ground and run rca cables to the amp. PM vitaminb6 or badluckaudi for further help (they helped me a lot with my sub setup), or keep searching.

Yea a high to low adapter is a piece of $hit pain in the *** that makes your stereo sound like $hit , RCA's are deffinatly the way to go I have done it a number of times and can help you out if you have any questions

More than you ever needed to know has already been posted. Bonus points if you can come up with a question that can't be answered with search

i finaly got time to complete my sub setup. i took ur advice and it all worked out. heres a couple of pics. its not finished yet still have to mount the amp up top so its not scene but its all working and bassy. an oam meter was the most important tool of this job i found. had to find the remote from the stock amp to splice into my other amp. it all works and sounds great. kinda sold the 2 12s and got a single 10. thanks for the help.
