ok, i found those.. did you have to cut any wires to slide it into the end of the connector? its not a huge deal, if i have to cut it then use an inline.
Not if you use these http://www.posi-lock.com/posiplug.html

Check out this guys site.. he sells forward/reverse wiring harnesses that will let you not tamper with the stock wires at all. I bought a set and they are really nice.. good guy to deal with also. I think he is a vendor here also.

so how did you hook that up? i'm pretty good with car audio wiring, but i'm not sure if that does what i want. all i need is to tap into 4 speaker wires.. thats it. oh and a remote 12v but thats getting tapped into the ignition.
If you use a forward and reverses harness you will be able to splice to your heart's content. This has been covered several times - by me and lots of others. Search "forward" "reverse" "harness" in interior.

Just splice the forward and reverse together.. with a third wire on each speaker out that you want to use... just a cleaner way to 'tap' into the stock wiring. The stock wiring harness will plug into one side, the new harness plugs into your radio.
