Subs with stock head unit

ok ive been reading up on this and i just want to know if i got this right

i have an 07 ss. and im wanting to install 2 12s and a 750 watt amp

so i can run power and ground right there in the trunk.
but then i need the line out converter to tap into the rear speaker wires for the rca?
and how do i tap into the remote cable from the stock sub? or do i have to run a new remote wire?

basicly im wanting to find a really good how to on this and i havent found one for the ss. just for the ls version so they dont have the amp and sub

thanks

for your remote wire you can do "add a fuse" and run the wire as the remote wire. My converter had a remote wire that had to run through it also

running a new one is way easier. just get the add a circuit and run it that way but other than that your dead on.

the one i had plugged directly into the fuse and split the connection out, the easiest way would just use fuse taps from autozone, they slide onto the fuse (wipe one is the one u wanna use) and leave a little prong sticking out when u plug it in so u can tap into it

the add a fuse is a bit safer then a fuse tap but also more expensive

i hooked it up to the wiper after i did that wrong

but still no luck

then i did some snooping on here and found that some of the wiring for those locs are kinda silly so i messed with it and figured it out. thanks for all the helpful responses
