If you do a search, I posted up on using RCA's and splicing in at the factory amp in order to get subwoofer control and better sound Q from the fronts.

The RCA harness that they showed you, won't have any real benefit over speaker level other than some better sound quality... BUT you need to have a deck with a high Volt Pre-out (like 4 Volts and up) to properly get the same volume out of the amp...
Ok, not to sound stupid, but I've searched every which way by sunday and under YOUR user name and can't find this mysterious post you mention about how to run my Clarion's 5 Volt RCA outs to the factory amp...

I want to be able to control the subs independently from the fronts. Could you please post a link?

I have one of these from a previous installation in a Celica with the factory JBL amp. It allowed me to run my Clarion RCA Outputs into the JBL amp. I would guess this would work, just need to know how to wire it.
