7" factory display. Not Alpine what adapters is everyone using to hook up a amplifier for their highs and subs? Looking for the cheapest route. I found one for about 250.00 but that's insane. Any help is appreciated

I spliced into the sound bar wires at the base of the b pillar with a LC6i.

Tapped into factory speakers at B pillar for a kicker hideaway to begin with. Since I have switched to a Pac Amp Pro to add 2 amps, one amp for factory speaker replacements, the other for a 10 inch downfiring sub. Very easy to set up.

I was leaning towards the PAC solution myself. The PAC unit retails for 279$ and a semi decent 5 channel amp is going to run at least 350.. An audio guy suggested I look at the Maestro solution. This popped up with a price of 299$ + shipping (amp & maestro interface). Having used Kenwood's Excelon amps before this was a no brainer.
Note: You will need an Amp kit and a T-harness.

Power Output6 channel
Rated Power at 14.4V
75Watts RMS x [ch] (4 Ohms, 20-20kHz, ≤1.00% THD)
100Watts RMS x [ch] (2 Ohms, 1kHz, ≤1.00% THD)
200Watts RMS x [ch/2] (Bridged 4 Ohms, 1kHz, ≤1.00% THD)
* Bridged connection available CH1 & CH2, CH3 & CH4, CH5 & CH6

There is a caveat though, when running in 5 channel mode channels 1 - 4 will receive about 75 watts (should be more than enough power in a JLU) channel 5 will receive about 200 watts (good enough for my pioneer 12" shallow mount sub, but probably not good enough for a 'bass head" running JL's). The amp has Kenwood's DSP built in (EQ / time delay / X over points / etc).

I can't vouch for how this sounds, because it is going in next Monday. The shop installing this has done several in Jeeps (though it retailed for 600$ +/- at that time).

Note: I also expect the quality Mopar speakers that came with the base audio system to go belly up if I turn it up, I am planning on replacing the sound bar speakers, and then the knee / dash speakers.

I really appreciate it. I might hit you up if 8 get problems along the way
