if you have the stock sub option on your car, tap into the two speaker wires going to it and add a SNI-50A Pac Audio(or similar) line level output adapter. if you don't have oem sub, use the rear speakers. that will provide rca inputs for your amp, then you just need a heavy gauge amp wiring kit for power.

Yes, all 3ES' come with a stock sub, so you can just tap into the sub output with a line-out converter. The wiring for the amp was kind of a pita; I couldn't find a hole through the firewall so I had to wire mine through my fender and back into the cabin. I used one of the bolts that attaches the backseat to the car to ground my amp.

Could I tap into the existing lines and split the wire from the woofer in the back and still amplify my 2 12?
If so could you list the items , I already have a wireing kit with the ground wire the remote ( blue wire ) the 8 gauge power cable and the RCA cables

you will still need a line output converter for input. you can leave the oem sub hooked up but its just going to be a passive radiator more less, with the two larger subs pounding below.
i run my power wire through where the clutch would be on the firewall, drill a hole and put in a grommet, then run your wire to a fuse by the battery.
