Ok so in my quest for sonic bliss and wanting to upgrade the mediocre Pioneer audio system in my Cruze I came across this. Subthump 5th Gen Add an Amp T-Harness for 2010 Camaro

I have done some very extensive research on all the various ways to integrate the factory head unit into a quality sounding system via an add on DSP/AMPS/Component speakers/Subs/
Now through said researching I have come to the belief that GM uses the same connections on the OEM amplifiers on the Cruze, Camaro, and Equinox, which I will demonstrate below.

While I have yet to try the T-harness from Subthump to see if it really is compatible, I think it just may be the solution to a easy and simple way to install my system without hacking up any of the factory wiring.

OK so here are some attached pictures of the OEM amps from the vehicles I listed above (if it works)

1. Equinox
2. Camaro
3. Cruze


So my question is.....will the Subtump T-harness work....???....mmmm

While I appreciate your feedback, I think you misunderstood my question. I am looking to bypass the factory amp and add a DSP (Helix, Mosconi, RF360, etc).I just need to pull the signal to feed said DSP. I would most likely cut off the RCA's and just feed whatever DSP I choose the high level signal. As far as my components for my build they consist of ....

Pioneer Stage 4 PRS 6 1/2comps with the 2 5/8 mid (though I may not use it)
Pioneer Stage 4 TS-W252PRS sub x2
A few old schools Zed Audio made vacuum tube amps
A truck load of sound deadener
A high end DSP and all the appropriate new wiring necessary

The Subthump harness, if it would work, would simplify the process. I wouldn't even have to take the dash apart. SO back to the question, will it work? YES/NO/MAYBE

I bought one and quickly realized they are not all created equal.... and around the same time axxess came out with a module to keep my display/back up camera and allow me to add an aftermarket deck....haven't looked back.

Here is a link to a link of my Cruze....Had the pillars done professionally....did all the rest myself.....

Complete Pioneer Stage 4 system (head unit and speakers/subs) minus the amps...but I have 2 PRS-A900s waiting for install.
