Default adding sub-box to factory radio questions

I have a 98 gs400 with nav and am adding 2 10s and an amp. to factory radio. I've already ran the powerwire and removed the factory sub. My question is, is there a remote wire somewhere that I can tap to in the rear already? and also I bought an amp with hi inputs and bought a hi-low converter. I don't want to run speaker wires from the head unit all the way back, so is there also wires that can be used to tap to for hi input speaker wires? I dont know if the factory sub wires are crossed over or not. I was going to splice the rear speaker wires and use those til I realized the rear speakers are in the door and I prob need to splice before its amped anyway. Any advice would be great or a how to link. I didnt find anything on this.Thanks in advance.

If you can use the factory sub wires and that line out converter, that would be your best bet.

yea, everyone is saying that taking from AFTER the factory amp is fine,is it mark levinson or no?
I ran a remote wire from the passenger fuse box. it was a bit of extra work but seemed to do the trick nicely.
I tapped into the cigerrate lighter fuse

I'm doing the same thing this weekend! Do we need to add the line output converter before the factory amp or can it be done after, near the sobwoofer?

--Also a 98 GS400. Mine has the Nak system
