I've done a little research on adding an amp and sub in my truck , and just want to make sure/clarify what I need. So first I know I have to bypass the ANC using the ANC-CH01? Is there a separate part in addition to the ANC-CH01 so I can make all my splices under the seat instead of getting to the factory speaker wires? Now the powered system I'm looking at does have HI/LO inputs so I wouldn't need a LOC? Just a speaker wire to RCA conversion straight to the Amp? And as far as I've seen my truck shouldn't have a factory amp/sub so I don't have to mess with all that other stuff. Last thing what else would I need if I wanted to upgrade my factory speakers in the future? Thank you!
*EDIT: I see I can just tap into the speaker wires from the ANC-CH01 I believe.

Is it a v6? My 2019 bighorn v6 did not have the noise cancelling amp. Which made it easier my 2025 tradesman v6 etorque diesnt haven it either. So all you need is the line out converter and regular wiring kit and amp n speakers or subs

It is a V8, as far as I've read it looks like it has the ANC
 
If you have amp that accepts speaker level input and has auto turn on sense, you won’t need a LOC. I still opted to use LOC LCI5Pro for better control with two amps. You also need inline resistors for the speaker output wires, if you don’t have in your LOC and running through amp. At least that’s what crutchfield says. If just t-ing in for a sub, then you don’t need resistors.
 
I think I have everything situated now. One last thing, I'm going to install the ANC-CH01 and I was going to tap straight off of it with a speaker -rca adapter and according to the ANC wiring diagram the rear door speakers are Green/Green-black and purple/Purple-black. Can anybody confirm or does it even matter which set I tap off of?
 
As I recall the instructions were correct with ANC, what I have. It doesn’t matter much with 6 speaker system, essentially 4 speaker output, however better on the rear. Then always can adjust to front to lower output to rear/sub with radio controls while driving. But bass control on equalizer or a bass knob is better for bass control. Bass knob much easier for quick adjustment.

Thanks, Ya I think I'll just go with what the instructions say. My amp did come with a bass knob 👍🏼 so that's a plus
