Re: adding amp to factory HU, are there rear spk wires in non moons & tunes? (GMJAP)

I know that.. I worded my question badly.What I want to know.. is do I Have to use the line converter behind the head unit.. or are there speaker wires run to the back where the Moons/Tunes sub WOULD be had i gotten that?and if i use the converter at the head unit, won't that cut off my rear speakers?

adding amp to factory HU, are there rear spk wires in non moons & tunes?

So I want to add my amp.. and I was wondering if I have to use a line level converter... I don't want to sacrifice my rear door speakers... Is there another way? I have a NON M&T, but are the wires there where the rear sub would be? or is that asking too much?
