2018 Fit. Discreet place in back to cut in a line out converter?
Getting a powered sub for the trunk. Something small: 10 or 12 inches to give some bass to the music. I want to keep the stock look as much as possible. What would be the easiest speaker wire accessible via the trunk to add in a line-out converter? Any quirks I need to be wary of?

Has no one identified those wires? It sure seems like it would be a lot easier to tap those wires back there rather than pulling that head unit out of the dashboard.

This is the wire harness that will work for the GK. 99.99% sure this will work even with the newer HU. Yeah that means removing the gauge cluster trim, center vents, taking out the HU with the 3 screws, putting this wire harness in line, then pushing the HU back in place reassembling everything
Wire harness:
Now adding a line out converter, you could tap the rear door speaker wires, sorry I do not have the colors. They are right there in the B-Piller to tap once you do figure that out. It would be easy to identify them when you replace the door speakers by looking at the plug wire colors. Its very easy to remove the snap clips holding the door skin on plus two screws.
However if you do the rear speaker, know that the db is less than the front speaker channels. Your line out converter will need to have an active gain to boost the signal to properly drive your sub's preamp.
Hope this helps. Sorry I don't have the info you need.

So I'm not an audio guy but I would like a little bass so this PNP solution looks interesting. Can you tell me what that bundle of blue wires would connect to? I'm guessing the other side is where the RCA lines from the amp would plug into right?

I believe the blue wire would serve as your amp's turn on lead...

Thank you for your input. The aim would be not to have to get behind the head unit. I will attempt to find the rear door speaker wires and report back with pics and other relavent info. Regarding the reduced db's to the rear speakers and active gain, I will be running a Rockford PS-300 10" powered sub. As I understand it, the sub has it's own built-in LOC; and between it's adjustments for: gain, x-over point, and bass boost, I should be able to dial it in okay, no?

Sorry haven't had a chance to reply to everyone I haven't found a solution and the one that is referenced at amazon I'd already purchased and tried it didn't fit my headunits wires at all. I was really hoping so. If anyone once else has an easy solution please do share

If you look at this pic from the passenger side B-pillar of my 2019, you will the blue/pink wires. In the below pic I had already pulled them out of that black plastic wire loom. Also, note that the blue and pink wires are twisted together. When you pull those wires out of the plastic loom that goes into the door, do you not have those blue/pink wires? If no, do you have a pair that are twisted together like the ones in my pic? If you can't ID the wires from the B-pillar, you could pull one of the door panels and a speaker and just check there. The door panel comes off pretty easy.

Interesting... My 2019 rear door speaker wires are blue/pink. 2Rismo2 has a 2015 and his rear speaker wires are blue/pink. Are you sure yours aren't?

Blue is positive, pink is negative. The sub I used doesn't need a remote turn on so I am not sure, but I will check for one in the morning.

Awesome thank you so much. Do I need to splice it in on the left side too? It's one sub, but to my understanding you still need both left and right channels on it. Am I correct on that.
