2023 CX-5 Non-Bose Factory Amp Location?

[darekfarmer]

Wanted to post in this thread first before making a separate thread as this is related. Vehicle is a 2023 CX-5 non-Bose system.

I am wanting to keep the stereo upgrade simple and just add the JBL BassPro Hub Powered spare tire subwoofer to the system.

I am wanting to tap into the speaker outputs from the amp under the seat, but I do not want to cut or tap into the wires that may void the warranty. I have done a lot of searching and can not find the proper harnesses to purchase so I can make my own T harness to tap into the high level speaker outputs from the amp. From what I have read it would be the middle harness from the photo attached. I would need the male and female version of this harness (hopefully with wires attached) so I can make my own T harness.

Has anyone done this without cutting factory wires? Thoughts? Any other way of doing this to not void warranty? Appreciate any help.

Go to the junkyard to find the connectors.

Go to the junkyard to find the connectors.

That would only work for the male side of the connector if I could even find a 2023 in a junkyard. I would still need the female side in order to make a T harness.

Again, junkyard. Grab the the amp too, harvest the connector out of it.

I haven't been able to find the plug and ended up soldering on to the existing wiring coming from the plug. In my install (non-Bose) i replaced all speakers and added a sub so ran all my own wiring, and cut the oem wiring after the solder joint as i was getting some weird feedback coming through.
