Couple of '15 audio wiring questions
Believe me I have searched the entire internet for the answers before coming here. I have most of what I need but a few questions remain, for those who know.
I have a base 130/sirius system in my JKU and I will be adding a 2x100W amp and replacing the dash 6-3/4" speakers with dedicated subs. I want to make as minimal modification to stock as necessary, and use factory wiring wherever possible, and avoid cutting factory wiring at all costs.
The big question now is power. I think I might mount the amp where the factory/Alpine amp would have been. Is there a power supply that would have supplied the factory Alpine amp under there? Can anyone point out the location of the plug and wiring color?
Also, I see everyone using these Metra connectors:

What I would prefer is to plug a connector like this into the factory wiring from the HU, and run that to the LOC. Then have another connector of the opposite gender on the other end of the amp to plug into the speakers. So for each side it would be like:
factory-HU-speaker-wire---->>---LOC--AMP--->>---factory speaker pod
where ">>" are factory style connectors.
So essentially, where can I get connectors like this that are the opposite gender?
