Good Lord!
Excuse my complete ignorance on this subject...PLEASE!

OK, so I have a Fosgate Punch amp that I want to hook my JL Audio 12" Sub (inside a custom bandpass box, bridged to 2ohms) directly to my system...but there's NO way that I'm capable of doing this mod.
In my last truck (a 2002 Dakota) - I simply spliced into RF+/- and LF+/- for my 1" piezo tweets on my door pillars, and (for leads to my amp) directly into RR+/- and LR+/-, ran the leads under the dash, under the doorsills, to the highpass inputs on the amp, ran the 'remote' to the fusebox, a 10-gauge lead direct to the battery, and grounded it less than 8" from where the amp was mounted (under the back seat) - and NEVER had any problem whatsoever...it sounded GREAT (the look on people's faces when they saw the stereo they were hearing was priceless!!!

)

But, after reading all this, I'm completely unsure about how to go about all this. I don't want to spend more money to 'do it right' - I just spent $38,000 on an '07 SE CrewCab with 8" ProComp lift, 35X12.50 18's and all the upgrades (adjustable pedals, backup sensors, full power driver's seat, towing package, heated tow mirrors, etc.) and all the chrome you can get.
So, all in all, what does it take to get ahold of a wiring diagram for the 6-disc changers in these things, so that I'll know which wires to splice into? I've already torn apart my dash, and with one look at the top of the stereo, and realizing there's no diagram or color-code there, I put it all back together and await some sort of seriouisly dumbed-down response that I can understand.

Thanks in advance!
(Oh, and GREAT forum!)

** UPDATE:
I ran leads to my tweets directly from the dash tweeters...it worked flawlessly. Then, I pulled my door panels off the rear doors, spliced into the factory wiring for the door mids, ran the wire through the loom outside the door directly to my amp, 12V direct to the battery, and the remote to a blank IGN 15V fuse. Works like a charm!
