So after taking the winter off, I sound deadened everything and while the headliner was (mostly) down, I was able to find a baby blue connector on the driver's side between the roof and the headliner that contains the liftgate speaker wires. Rather than cut those factory wires (which are easily...

I have a 2018 Limited with premium JBL and will be replacing the entire sound system. This includes installing an 8 channel amp. This amp will drive tweeters (dash), front doors, rear doors and hatch speakers all on different channels. Because each speaker has its own channel, I need to...
