Default Aftermarket deck with nak 95

Alright I'm new to the forum. Seen this posted multiple times but it doesn't seem any have an actual answer. I've got a 95 with a nak system. I'd like retain all factory speakers and amp. I know there isn't a plug and play harness available. I know wires need tapped into at amp. Does anyone know the exact wires to tap into to make the sub work? I see the power ground is tapped right at factory radio wiring. And the speakers tap into the amp under seat.
Thank you for help!! Love this old girl so far.

You may have misunderstood. There is a plug/play solution, and there is no known way to make the OEM subwoofer work with an aftermarket headunit. What has been found to work is to use an aftermarket amplifier to power the OEM sub.

EDIT: For 95-97 Nakamichi cars.

^^^^^ what PD said. Maybe my install tutorial can help. If not, keep searching the forums as this problem has been tackled many, many times already. Good luck.

Even with the Beatsonic SLA-22?

Forum member Kansas had an aftermarket deck installed by Best Buy and he retained the factory ammo as well as all the speakers. He stated that the tech just talked into the amp. Maybe you can PM him. He's in here from time to time but not as much since he sold the LS and got a Siena.

from this thread, you had autofashion finish the work which doesn't really help the OP much, though the wiring diagrams should!

this is the only exception (other than the cryptic kansas' method). the beatsonic harness enables the use of the factory sub.

Post clarified, the SLA-22 works fine on pioneer cars but nothing is offered for '95-97 Nakamichi cars afaik.
