Default adding another sub amp

Where should I tap into to get a signal for my new sub box?

not the factory sub signal...it cuts down when the volume is turned past a certain level.

Anyone have a wiring diagram for the ML amp for me to pull a signal from??

thanks

The sub channel on ML amps are designed to lower the sub output to keep it "balanced" with the rest of the system after a "certain point". I want to pull a full range signal that doesnt have the factory sub frequency cut off..id like to tune it (sub-range) myself.

Grabbing the signal before its amplified would be ideal if I had a diagram of the factory (ML) wire harness...or after its amplified using an LOC...either way would work really.

looks like im the only one who wants to add a sub to the factory setup
