Default Adding a amplifier to a factory amplifier

Morning/afternoon

I previously own (Nissan Altima aka blue bird). i had a 2 channel amp made by Audiofonics and one 12'' subwhoofer, also made by audiofonics with the factor head unit still install. I did the install myself so im pretty familiar in the stall in amps and subs and audiofonics provide an Hi level input adapter just in case you don't have an aftermarket radio setup. Using the Hi level input adapter i would just have to connect the negatives and positives wires to the rear speaker and plug in the RCA wire to the amp. Yesterday i rip out my amp and my subs to add in my 04 jag s-type 3.0 non/nav built amp/cdc and i notice that the rear speaker are on the doors. (smh) Now my question to you all!!!! Is that is there a way using the input adapter to connect the positives and negative wire to the factory Amp to get a sound/signal to my aftermarket amp. If there is please provide the color wires or a Pic so i can have an idea... thank you

p.ss sorry if a did any miss typo or spelling im currently at work

Hey I added an amp to my 01 jaguar and one way you can find out which is positive or negative is use an volt meter that's normally what I use when I can't find a diagram

Just to make sure that were talk about the right thing here !!!!! I'm not trying to draw power from the amp. I'm trying to draw a sound source from the factory amp. Are you refer this in the same since?

Yes we're talking about the same thing . Question do you already have the adapter? If not I might be able to help save tremendously from buying too high priced adapter. not sure what kind of adapter you have but after you hook up your + & - the adapter should only receive the sound signal to the input side and your hook up for your amp that you'll be adding hooks up regularly the only thing that should be hooked up to the adapter from the amp is the RCA cables if you want I can send you a picture of my adapter and set up of it and help you out as much as I can

Hi Again i remove the Factor amp and CDC to figure out the color code wire. in the process i notice the power connector for the factor amp is know where to be found, but i see the other two audio connector. As far for the CDC i found both power connector and Audio connector. Where can i find the power cord for the factor amp? i look every where.

Aw gotcha I'm not sure unless it's tucked off in a crazy area of in the car but it should be something showing that it was removed or cut out or something
