Hi everyone. While searching the section, I came across a post that said it's okay to repurpose the rear speaker wires off of the factory harness. I was thinking of getting one of the Bazooka bass tubes (either the 850FH or 8100FHC). I don't really care for the rear speakers, so I was wondering if I can disconnect those, and tap the Bazooka FAST harness to it?

This way, I can somewhat control the volume of the sub by fading the volume to the rear. I just want to add a little more low end to the system, and I use my trunk often, so I need something that I can connect and disconnect easily and quickly. Would this be advisable to do? Thanks, guys.

EDIT: if you're planning on tapping off the rear speakers, don't bother. Since they're high-passed, the Bazooka tube will not have much output since the wires aren't full range. Must use the front speaker wires.
