Default How to use rear speaker wires for lower fairing speakers?

Ok I have a 16 RGU which has the harley amp powering the upgraded speakers.
I will hardly be using my tourpack so instead of buying another amp for the lower fairing speakers (hogtunes 6.5),
Is there a connector I can use to tap into the rear speaker pods inside of hacking up the rear speaker wires?

The dealer said I had to buy another amp for the lower fairing speakers. When I said I don't care about rear speaker pods and just want a connector . He said there isn't simply a connector and I have to go the other route .

If you must use the rear wires and you are not rerouting them you can piggyback off the connection at the speaker itself. Might be better off by just running new wires from the HU though.

It would be a hell of a lot easier to get the wires from the fairing instead of rerouting the rears to the lowers. Do you have a electrical repair manual for the bike?
You can capture the amp output wires going to the rears from the fairing area. With the lid off it would be a super great time to install an aftermarket amp, just saying....

Dont have an electrucal manual but i got this?
Thanks guys.
Yeah I don't really want to piggy back from rear and bring to the front.
There is the rear speaker lead coming off of the Boom Amp. I was hoping there was maybe a connector I could get instead of cutting the wire.
The dealer said to me if I cut the wires at the fairing area that there might be problems with resistance on the speaker wires and it could give the HU an issue.
