Ok, so I've added my 5-channel amp, and my Audiobahn 6.5"s and my two subs. But, I'm now getting to hooking it all up, and I really don't want to run new speaker wire to all of the 6.5's. My question, is there a wiring harness that will plug into the Monsoon harness that will give me access to all of these speaker wires? I basically want to use the stock speaker wires so I don't have to purchase new wire and run it. I'll only be pushing about 40w through them, do you think this is a good idea, will the stock wiring handle it?

Any info/ideas/recommendations are appreciated!

I came across that, but there's no pic of the harness. I was just at Best Buy and they gave me a harness for what they say will plug into the stock harness that goes to all of the speakers. Hope it fits! Anyways, has anybody else done this?

It's a Metra 70-2001, it says "GM 1994-Up PW R/4 SPKR." The harness looks like it fits into the car harness, but I dunno about the speaker wires. I'm thinking I should just use wire taps and tap into the speaker wires that way I can always go back to stock very easily...

OK, question. Why are there two sets of wire colors for the subwoofers, ie:

F2 Light Green 1852 Right Subwoofer +
F3 Purple 1952 Right Subwoofer -
F4 Light Blue / Black 315 Right Subwoofer -
F5 Dark Green 1795 Right Subwoofer +

I'm assuming that the light blue and the dark green are the ones I'm supposed to use?

It might be a universal connector for the trans am and camaro. The trans am has dual voice coils on the sub.

The above wire listing was for the factory harness that plugs into the Monsoon amp. Oh well, I'll give it a whirl and see what I can come up with...
