Has anyone made a wiring harness adapter similar to the stock sub-woofer wiring harness?
It seem like this amp also powers the front speakers in addition to 2 (vs 1 like stock) sub-woofer speakers. Seems like it would be perfect for those woofers on the Fiero Store's door speakers...

They can also be had very cheap these days...

Regarding the 200/240/500 amp rating ... it depends on the resistance of the speakers ... hence 240A w/4 ohm speakers or 480A (aka 500) with 2 ohm.

So with our 8-10 ohm speakers, it's more like 100 amps.

Seems like a great way to power the speakers in the Fiero Store's

With the speaker kit mentioned in the thread...

I found the female connector: UPC 086429027248

However it looks like it's missing half the wires socketed. Does anyone know where I can get wiring with these female ends on them?

The adapter pictured in your link showed the wrong sex on the connector however the part number was correct after some cross-referencing. I guess it's a case of the picture is not what's actually sold.
I ordered one from ebay and one from Amazon. Hopefully they do come with all 32 wires attached as another picture I saw had them all where as it looked like only half were present...

We'll see. I hope to make a plug and play harness like the stock Fiero sub-woofer harness.

And of course the part I got sent is a socket, not a connector. It looks exactly like the socket on the monsoon amp. WTF!

So it turns out I was shipped the wrong part #. BHA2001 vs BHO2001. One is the socket, the other is the connector. I need the connector. The picture and part number was what I wanted but they shipped the wrong one.

These connectors and sockets only come with about 13 of the 32 pins wired. Does anyone know where I can get wires with the terminals on them so I can insert them into the connector when it shows up?
