Wondering what my options are for wiring a sub and amp to the stock head unit. AND if that can't work what the next best thing would be

The hi/low converter taps into speaker wires and changes the signal to a usable RCA Jack. You can tap behind the radio or anywhere else. You'll also need a remote turn on for the amp or run an on/off switch so it isn't on all the time.

Bought a Sound Ordnance powered 8" sub. Uses speaker level inputs and it fits right under passenger seat. Good addition to the stock system. I found a head unit wiring diagram in another thread and tapped into a pair of speaker wires on the back of the head unit.

Not exactly. If he does not have the infinity system, it needs to be spliced into the left and right speaker wires. And if he does have the infinity system, it needs to be spliced into the wires for the factory sub AFTER the factory amp because the amp is crossed over to not play low frequencies to the speakers in the dash and soundbar so you cannot splice into those wires. If it is spliced into the left and right BEFORE the amp, you will not be able to controll the volume of the subs (stereo can be at 0 volume and subs will be at max volume).
