Plug and play speaker interface with factory source and aftermarket amp

[jps4jeep]

My question is about the wiring harnesses in the 2014+ trucks, specifically my 2018 2500 WT with 7” factory radio. The one thing that I am not very please with in the truck is the factory sound system. I understand this is a WT truck and it is not the premium sound, but the quality and separation of the sound leaves a lot to be desired. I am in the initial phases of putting together a fairly basic and clean system that will allow for expansion should I want to. I have decided to go with the Audio control LC-6.1200 because, I’ve used these products in the past, I love the flexibility and the built-in DSP will make integrating into my factory source easier (at least I hope.)  I am not a fan of the line converters that add RCA outputs so I want to run line level inputs from the source, to the amp, then back to the source to feed the speakers. I do not want to cut any of the harnesses or T-tap into the lines. If I can, I would like to avoid having to run all new wires from the amp to the individual speakers. I would like to make a harness that plugs in between the source and the lines out to the speakers.

 

Question 1. All the line out to the speakers appear to be in the green plug, I have found Metra 71-2107 reverse harness (male end) in the catalog, but I have not found anything that is clearly ID as the female end of this connection. I did find the Metra 70-2057 and it appears to have the female plug that looks like the 71-2107 will plug into, can anyone verify this?

 

Question 2. If they do connect, I assume some pins may need to be moved to allow for proper interface?

 

If I have the incorrect part numbers, or someone knows of a source for the correct harness, pointing me in that direction would be appreciated.

Did a little more research and it appears Spiral Audio makes a plug, non-premium harness that doesn't cost $100, 

Spiral Audio WH-0040 should do the job, simply looking at the pictures, I see believe I see all the speaker wires, constant and ground. I assume the red is to add the ignition signal since I believe it is in another harness. I am going to purchase this and the metra reverse harness and see how many pins I need to add, if any.

How did this work out for you? I just picked up a 14 wt. Thanks

I'm also interested to know how this turned out.

I can make a harness for the green plug systems(I05-IO6) for either just adding a sub amp or full system installs.I charge $40 and will come with a 12v,ground and up to 4 channels of high level output.
