I think they are still restoring the forum from the mod that is abusing his authority.
If you could gladiator post the emails here so other people know what I said. If you do not mind.
Sure.

Here is what you need to do. Take the black amp out. After that disconnect of reconnect the neg battery terminal and recommend. This will reset the factory system to think it is a base system. At this point the harness the DSP was hooked up to is now sending out 4 channels of low pass output.
You are going to basically cut the ends of your new rca cables off and solder them to certain wires in that harness than just plug them into your amps. You might need a Y splitter of use the line output of your new amp "like I did to the sub amp"
These links may help more. If you need more help please ask. Now some wires on that harness you need to actually add wires to some of the blank spots.
2. What do you think about rca -> AudioControl Line Driver(in place of LOC) -> Amp?
3. Man am I missing something coz that forum you posted a link to is a PITA to navigate, I couldn't find search either. Hats off extracting info from there. Informative but I have a migraine now

Unless yours is different I do not think that is going to help you just plug and play. I do not see why you would need a audiocontrol in this place you will already have LOC when you do this and they are high quality. Unless you are looking for more control than I suppose you could use that.
