Oh, got it. I tapped wires behind the HU. If memory serves:
Right Rear: red +, white -
Rear left: black +, yellow -
Can't remember the front. But I remember that I initially tapped the wrong wires... There are 2 sets of wires that are the same color. the speaker ones are the thicker wires, the others (which I originally tapped) are much thinner.
I first bought Rockford Fosgate high-level to RCA connectors but they didn't work, even though my primary amp is a Rockford Fosgate.. I then bought the Scosche connectors and that did the trick. I guess the converters you need depend on your amp.
These did not work for my P4004 Rockford amp:

The scocsche I bought at an audio shop and don't have a link.
I plugged the connectors into the RCA inputs at my amp, then ran RCAs to the sub-amp via the passthrough RCAs on the Rockford.
I then ran speaker wires from the amp back up to behind the HU and connected the speaker wires there. I did not tap into door wires.
I did buy the no-splice connectors for the speaker connections where you connect the wires to the speakers at the door/tail locations, though. But you're not asking about that.
I have good control with the fader with front & rear speakers, plus was able to isolate the low signal for the sub.
No, I did not find no-splice connectors. I cut the wires and spliced them.
