    Cool Amp and sub install question

    Hello, I drive a 2000 C280 sports. The factory sound system is great but I have pair of two kicker subs and 2 kicker amps sitting around from the Lexus i sold 2 years ago. I was thinking about installation them into C280. I do not want to change the factory stereo if i have to change the factory command i rather not install the system.

    I was looking up on ebay for aftermarket wiring harness that plugs into factory command unit or radio this is what i found. I was gonna buy this and carry the installation from there. Do any of you guys have used something similar to these?

    does your amp have speaker level inputs? if so you can just tap into the rear deck "subs" for signal.

    This is what it looks like are you talking about the negative and positive terminals on the right or RCA terminal on the left of it?

    it doesnt seem that the amp has a "speaker level input" they should make adapters for the rcas though. I'll look into it.

    get a rf hi low converter to plug into your rear speakers, then you can run RCA plugs from the converter to the sub amp
