Depending on the amp you are using you might need a ground loop isolator. You also need a RCA cable to go from the harness to your sub amp.

You will know if you need a ground loop isolator (GLI) if your amp goes into protect mode after hooking up the RCA's. I had to use a GLI on mine. Fixed the problem and very easy to install.

The need for a GLI is caused by too much DC current in the factory lines. Some amps don't like it.

Installed my diamond 12 inch sub in a sealed enclosure. Powered by a profile 1000 watt amp! It is just ridiculous!! (In a good way, of course) Easy as pie install thanks to the ******** T harness. I'll post some pics later.
