So on the 2 door with the floor subwoofer.... Why so many wires hooked up to this thing? Seems like it should just be a positive and negative from the factory amp. I want to pull this thing out and place an aftermarket amp there, hook the high level inputs into the amp and add my own subs. What am I missing here?

Factory sub is a dual voice coil, or at least was in mine. I believe each coil is the low pass off the left/right channel.
That makes sense. The total amount of wires is 8 so... Left/front+/-, right/front+/-, plus the same for the rear left/right +/- = 8. So I could just the rear left/right +/- and tie into a LOC then an amp or high input on an amp then add subs.
