I have an aftermarket amp for it, and am going to use the high level inputs. Question is, does it matter if I get the input from after the factory amp, or does it have to be before it?

Range：-10-55℃S/N Ratio: 70dBSize[mm]：150(D) x 267(W) x 55(H)Weight：1.6kg "I'm no expert at all, but if the high level inputs on your amp can handle 150W max input (assuming the above info is correct) than you should be able to get away with getting the sub signal after the factory amp. I did this and wired a plug that matches the one on the subwoofer to plug into so I didn't have to cut the factory loom.I'm using an LC6 as a line converter to use low level inputs.
