confused on how to add a trunk sub using technic harness (hifi system)

Hey there folks.

So i've ordered up technic's harness for my hifi system.

The plan is to replace door speakers, read deck speakers, and underseat speakers.

I have looked at the diagrams and understand how to use technic's harness to do all this.

The question is, if I would like to add another, trunk mounted subwoofer. Where do I get the input for that?

far as I can tell the Harness puts out 4 RCA type 'inputs' to an Amp... from the amp, the harness also gives 6 speaker wires that will go back to the 6 interior locations...

The question I have, is how do I get an input to the channel powering my trunk sub? Do I need a different harness?

No just locate the amp find signal running to your under seat sub tap into that but it also depends on your amp I have a kicker mono 1000.1 that can run off just the signal from your original sub connect with out needing any harnesses

Low level inputs don't carry power.

Low level inputs don't carry power, there not suppose to.
They also run into high impedence inputs on amps or other devices( or should )which draw very little current.
