Add amp /trunk-Sub without harness instruction

For those who are unable to buy technic harness, you can just simply tap to the sub-out wires on the booster to get high level outputs. From there you can connect directly to your amp / active sub if it has high level input option, or you can use a LOC and then connect to your amp.

A few notes:

1. Just make sure to disconnect battery negative terminal before working on the wires.

2. The wires to be tapped are from the bootster unit at the bottom. Not to be confused with the RAM unit on top.

3. There are 2 pairs of Sub wires for left and right. In the 2nd photo, from right to left :
- Blue/gray wire is ground (-) and white/black wire is + for left sub.
- Black/green wire is - and purple/yellow is + for right sub.

Use your favourite tapping method to tap them out and then connect to your amp / active sub ( I use t-tap connectors).

Connect your amp + power wire to battery positive terminal with in-line fuse and ground wire to any bolt available in the trunk with nut (make sure to test and confirm the bolt is grounded to the car).

My active sub can accept high level input so I dont need LOC and use the tapped-out wires directly for signal. It also has option to auto turn on / off with audio signal detection so I dont even use the remote control wire to turn it on.

The result is quite nice and it adds the overal performance to exisitng HK system.

I didn't take the photo unfortunately, but all connections and wires got re-wrapped in similar OEM tape and tucked away in their original location.
