I think maybe I'm understanding what you both are saying now. You're right. There are only 2 inputs to the dsp. Guess just getting the front HU outputs will work. Sorry for my brain dead questions. DOH

The thing about most faders is fading to the rear doesn't increase power to the rear it decreases it to the front. So at speed were most of what you can hear is in front of you decreasing power to those speakers doesn't seem logical, but I'm not a sled audio expert. I still hold on to some of my cage audio fundamentals.

If you are wanting the fade on the HU to work thru the DSP then you will need the rear channels for input. But if you can live without the fader use the front 2 channels for input and call it a day and continue on with the install.

Never felt insulted. I was just not sure what you were saying. After the other responses and some rethinking, yeah, makes no sense to worry about where the rear wires are as I will likely run new to the rear. The harness is a great idea to have plug and play, but that's it. I'm comfortable with cutting as needed.
