Wiring diagram for OEM subwoofer

I hope I'm posting in the right place. Please excuse me if I'm not. I'm trying to hook up the OEM subwoofer that mounts right under the passenger seat. I need some help in identifying the wires connected to the sub.

1/2 of the puzzle is the radio wires which I think I found here:

If someone could please hit me upside the head with some info I promise to be your best friend.

prewired?

Most everything in the subaru is prewired. I was wondering if the subwoofer was prewired behind the radio, or does that harness come with the kit for the subwoofer and amplifier?

I wanted to add a sub and amp, and it look easier if you just used this for signal and turn on signal.

TIA.

Look at the link I posted above. The harness comes w/ the subwoofer, it sort of plugs inbetween the OEM radio harness.

I was looking at that. I was wondering why they had two sets of wires for each of the speaker terminals and the grounds. I thought they just wanted thicker wires, but rather than thicker wires, they used more???

I am still trying to digest the last paragraph, not quite sure about the electronics behind it. I am not a hardcore electronics guys, so I dont get some of the higher stuff.

I saw a diagram ( I think from subaruparts.com) and saw that there was a harness, I just didn't know if it came with the kit. Is there a way to get just the harness? Or are the ends of the harness standard, and could I just get those and make the harness myself.

one last thing. I was planning on running it to a Fosgate 300s amp, it has high level inputs on it. Would it be ok to run the signal from the radio output to that amp?

any help would be great thanks.
