The difference is in the input and output section. Instead of cutting input behind the radio, you are just splicing or sharing signal to your amplifier.
Additionally you will not need to run the out put back to the harness behind the radio. You will just need to run the larger gauge speaker wire from your amplifier to your subwoofer.

Getting the most bass out of a subwoofer is a challenge a lot of people have after getting a sub and amplifier […]. In a nutshell, subwoofers produce rich bass providing rich audio output. Achieving this does not require ample space. Powered subwoofers do not require an amplifier to balance the audio output.
An active subwoofer integrates a speaker and an amp. Powered subwoofers are optimized to perform harmoniously within a single housing. Active subwoofers thus do not require an amp. Since subwoofers primarily produce low-frequency audio output, they consume much power. This information, however, is not valid for subs that come with a home theater. Subwoofers designed alongside the home theater are optimized to perform well while consuming low power.
Standalone subs may sometimes be too much for the entire sound setup. The subwoofers will still produce distorted bass sounds. Therefore, passive subwoofers design enables operation with an external amplifier.
But powered active subs do not require an external amplifier. The choice of a sub entirely depends on an individual, but active subwoofers come with a slew of merits. Powered subs come preinstalled with an amplifier optimized to sync with the speaker. Therefore, subwoofers can quickly achieve the ambiance in audio in active subwoofers. Furthermore, home theater systems come with up to two pre-amp line outputs.
This feature makes it easy to connect powered subs off the box. Passive subwoofers may be used, too, with consideration of some variables. Firstly, they consume high amounts of power. Moreover, passive subs require external amps. You should note that the appropriate amp may cost more than the sub in use. The passive subs are not sustainable, and it is more reasonable to opt for a powered subwoofer instead.
Aside from power options and additional equipment, it would be best to consider other factors before selecting a sub. Such include the amount one is willing to spend and the size of the desired subwoofer.
A sub has a load impedance that is to be sensed by an amp at the output. Matching load impedance enables an amp to produce power according to the load characteristics. Virtually all passive amps require matching to produce ambient audio. See our hours Our hours Hours 7 days a week. Looking for International Support? Connect ID. What is Connect ID?

Expert installation tip Before you run these two 9-wire cables through your car, mark both ends of one cable with a piece of electrical tape. That way, once the cables are in place, you'll know which of those cables is for the amp inputs and which is for the amp outputs. Comments Read comments. Joe, The whole point of this wiring scenario is to send the radio output to the aftermarket amp's input, and the aftermarket amp's output to the speakers.
If you connect two outputs together, as it seems you've done, one will eventually die as the two amps will be fighting each other by sending power to each other's outputs.
